I confess: this morning, my weight was higher (hello, cycle) but after my workout & shower it was back in the right (happy) zone, under 210. I am feeling a bit impatient about bumping up after seeing 209 last week, but I gotta keep trusting the process... Maybe this week I will get a peek at 208 or even 207?
At a minimum, I want to see one pound a week go away permanently. Currently, my average calorie deficit is 1,500/day, so that should equal about 3 lbs/week. But I am not counting on it. If I leave my motivation at the scale, I may never get it back.
What I am counting on/ what motivates me to stick to my diet and exercise 5 days per week (3 miles/day and under 1500 cals)...? The reward for doing this is a monthly massage!
I had my first reward massage today for reaching 212, 10 lbs lost, my first milestone. It was heaven!
I also found a new primary care doctor and scheduled a physical. Cholesterol, blood tests, the works! Now that I am actually doing something about my weight, basically doing what a doc would tell me to do anyway, I am not so embarrassed to go. Hit me with the news, doc, I can take it!
