Day 5

Today I feel like:


--------------------------------------------------

11:00am
Why? Well, remember a few days ago, I weighed myself and it said 3lbs lighter than my starting weight and I said I was skeptical? I was skeptical b/c all my life, I've never had a set weight, it would fluctuate so many lbs a day. But remember I said I hadn't remembered my weight doing that recently, it just did it maybe a pound of a difference (199-200), which kind of scared me? lol. But, I jumped on the scale last night, and it said again, 196, so I accepted it finally in my head. I got on there this morning, since I'm weighing every other day (just for my own personal pleasure) and guess what it said....


I stepped on and off that damn thing like 8-10 times and it said the same thing, each time. So, maybe its true. Maybe I really am losing weight? Heck, either way, I am really getting excited about the whole thing. I mean, heck, my FITDAY profile said don't make your weight loss goal where you have to lose more than 2lbs a week, and my goal says I have to lose 2.5lbs a week... and here, I lost 5 in 5 days?!

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not ignorant, and I do realize that with a sudden change in eating style, that a lot of people will lose a bunch of weight asap and then it will slow down and become work. But thats never been me. Ive always tried diets, and never get past week 1 because I'm not seeing any results. As some would also say is normal... its a slow process... .So... why? Why am I losing so much so fast?! I'm not doing weight training yet, havent been to the gym.. only been walking and its only been 2 out of the 4 days I've been doing this! My mind is baffled... I keep trying to find the perfect answer to this riddle, but I don't really want to know. If its really happening, I just pray it continues to happen and that I don't just give up if it slows down.

So, today, Decateur is at work, so I am going to imagine that I am alone tonight again. Its not confirmed, but I have a few small reasons to believe this, and I am OK with it. I am only OK with it, b/c I know I can do this, and I really want it. I want it so bad, I ... *insert ingenious end of sentence here*! lol.

So, possibly just a walk tonight, (and possibly one after lunch too). But I'll let you know when I update later. =)

Update: 9:12pm
I didn't go out for a walk, at all today, instead I went to the gym w/Anthony for about an hour. I walked about the speed I usually do, on the treadmill and then played on the KoKo machine for a bit... but realistically didn't get anywhere with it (not what I would call anywhere, that is), I was just getting used to the machine. Im really glad they put it in there! Anyways, thats all I did. =)
