Day 7 & 8

One week has already gone.  As I prepare to step on the scale, my mind is flooded with thoughts.  Did I do everything possible to lose weight this week?  Did I eat the right food, did I do the right exercises? Will this weigh in be a reward for 7 days of hard work, or will it be a reminder that no matter what I do the scale wins?  I'll be honest with you, the scale and I are not friends.  He is either completely honest or possessed by an uncalibrational demon.  Everyone will say,"you look so skinny," but He says,"you've gained 7 lbs."

OK! I've procrastinated long enough, here it goes...  Awesome! I have lost 5 pounds.  Not the 7 I had hoped for but I'll take 5.  Here is the great news.  It's 5 lbs. of FAT.  I drink more than 4 lbs. of water per day, so it's not water weight.  My calorie intake is more than 40 percent protein and I'm doing resistance exercises, so it's not muscle weight.

The things I'm going to change this next week will be to add more cardio and eat more vegetables.
