Only one Pound

Gratuity: Man named Sam

Goal Work:  Nothing taste as good a thin feels - unknown

I was very excited this morning as I had finally lost a pound.   Maybe yesterday's ice bath worked.  One of the first things I did in the morning was go to update my internet weight ticker and to my surprise and sadness, I noticed the last weight loss had been exactly one month ago.   The air quickly left my balloon. I really need to step it up.   One pound in one month is just not acceptable.   I really want to be under 200 pounds by the April 16th 10K.    I need to stop my excuses and get serious about my diet.

Found a great blog about staying thin while researching this entry.  It is mostly filled with great practical advise about staying thin.   Yes I am getting ahead of myself but I think the same advise for staying thin will help with getting thin.  She inspired me with her dialog: 

"I’m here to encourage and remind you, that “Nothing Tastes as Good as Thin Feels.”  Because right after you eat that candy bar you have been wanting, or that high-fat, high-calorie cheeseburger and french fries, you are going to feel gross, and hate yourself, and probably gain a few pounds (or more, if you can’t stop).  It’s just not worth it!"



Awaken: 09:30AM (not good....)
MIT: Transfer money, IBM Work, Send Allen my tax link
Yesterday MIT: I forgot about Piano but did everyhing else.
Salad: Breakfast
Fruit: Cantaloupe, Orange, Cantaloupe, Apple
Water: Did not keep track :-(

Choices:  After writing about how "nothing taste as good as thin feels", I still went to Beacon to try a Gourmet Poppy's Burger, Fries, and chips.   I talked myself into it because I had heard great things about the place and I had just seen the owner of the store in the Food Channel show  "Chopped".   I convinced myself that if I did not go now by the time I got around to it the place could be out of business.   This was not the best food for a dieter.  It amazes me the stories I tell myself to justify my deeds.   I feel like Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde.
