Day 2. My apple fast went swimmingly. I'm surprised at how good I felt after such a short time. I went from 1 a.m. yesterday morning to 9:30 a.m. this morning, nothing but apples and rivers of water. I feel really good today!

I'm going to return to the path that brought me from 188 to 155 pounds in such short order. Here's how I did that:
- Rice cakes and apples at my desk for snacking
- Turkey wrap for lunch (just turkey, tomato, romaine lettuce, spinach pita)
- Gummy multivitamins at my desk for a sweet and beneficial after-lunch dessert
- Light dinner (home): One portion of whatever's going, and eventually get grilling
- Light dinner (out): Go for a grilled, unbready, unpasta-y option
- Wine spritzers instead of wine
- Walk 10K steps daily without fail
- Start going for walk/runs in the early evening; work up to runs
- Take a strength training class, May-August
It worked before, it'll work again. And once I get into the rhythm of it, it's actually easy.

So - off and running. Well, walking. But eventually running!

It's been a year, and it's time to come out from my embarrassed hiding place and own up to things. I've gained 9.2 pounds. So what?! Why do I have this tendency to hide myself away in shame instead of just MOVING ON?

Well, that's what I'm doing now, anyway! Moving on. I weighed in this morning at 163.7 pounds. My short-term goal is to get to 158 pounds by May 12, when I visit my family. My ultimate goal is to get to 150 pounds by a year from now, and then to maintain a weight within a few pounds of that general vicinity forever thereafter. And I will do it through moderation, self-acceptance, increasingly good food choices, a commitment to improving my fitness level, and pure determination.

Starting the process off with a bang: a one-day apple fast. I have been so self-indulgent recently that I just feel the need to flush myself out with buckets of water and nothing but fruit for a day! And then tomorrow I will be clean and mean and ready for next steps.

I weighed 188 pounds for years. I lost 34.2 pounds in a glorious ride, then gained 9.2 back. It's all part of the journey. I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm going!
