Hey Holly!

I am SO ready. I faced reality on the scale this morning, and it was worse than I thought. I'm totally committed to losing one pound a week. That's a reasonable amount to attempt. Even so I will be at this for more than 5 weeks, but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

Yesterday I was "perfect." I made no choices food-wise. Everything I was going to eat was written in my notebook, and I just checked off the boxes. I wasn't starving, just a little hungry in between meals and snacks. All day I pathetically looked forward to my bedtime snack of dry cereal and herbal tea. This was a little luxury I added to my usual regimen, and I think it helped. My old way was to eat nothing after 7pm, ever. (BTW I actually really like crunching on dry cereal, and the herbal tea was a delicious orange.)

Today will be more challenging, because I'm running and will undoubtedly get hungrier.

Holly, when I'm in the zone, I resist the cake batter. Haven't been in the zone for a while, though. :-/ On the bright side, we have no birthdays here until after Easter.

Erika and others - hoping to hear from you.

This seems like more fun than the Healthy Eating thread that is already going on. Besides we get to talk about being naked when we weigh in.

I'm up for the challenge too. It is only 6 am where I am so I haven't eaten yet but we are having a birthday potluck at work. This will be my first obstacle.

Hey this sounds like a great motivation may I join in?? Maybe I will be able to stick with it more if I know I am doing it with others. I have been trying but not doing so well lately and a fresh start may be just the ticket.
Thanks
Donna

I never pass up the chance to get naked with a bunch of Boomer Goddesses, so when I got up this afternoon, I weighed myself naked, too.

I am 6'4½", 167 pounds. The same height and weight as in high school.

The problem is, I don't know whether to gain or lose. I do have some body fat, so I could possibly lose it, and get faster. Or I could keep lifting weights, possibly gain a few pounds, and get stronger. Choices, choices.

Meanwhile, I'm naked in a thread with a bunch of Boomer Goddesses, so it's all good.
