Okay, so I'm on Day 22, and my weigh in yesterday made me so sad. Zero pounds lost. I worked out five times last week and have been eating leaves galore! What!? The staff at the Y tried to encourage me with the fact that muscle weighs more than fat, but it was still discouraging overall. I know my body shape has changed so my consistent word still comes from Ecclesiastes 7:8 "Finishing is better than starting. And patience is better than pride." My goal here is to finish well what I started doing 22 days ago. And as is with most things that produce lasting change, it takes TIME. And time means patience.
For the next week my challenge from the Y is to keep a food journal. So I'll do that and see if there are any things that might be give me insight into any poor food choices. But overall, I haven't cheated the basic elements of this diet, so that should be pretty good. I do love snacks so maybe that's the problem! -- even approved ones!
