Well, I made it through week one of the experiment and darned if it didn't work like a charm. I'm down 3 lbs from last week.
Apparently my body (and mind) prefer this cycling thing. I could tell even just a couple of days into this that it was going to work for me. My attitude was better, I found it MUCH easier to stay within my calorie limits for the day, and even the Low-cal days weren't so bad because I knew I'd be able to get relief if I could just stick it out for a few days.
I cheated and jumped on the scale on Wednesday, just to see whether it was working or not, and DANG! I weighed less in the afternoon dressed than I did in my pjs first thing in the morning on my last weigh-in.
Yesterday, my lowest calorie day, WAS tough - there's no question. But I had the memory of the number on the scale that went down and the thought of: "This IS working, just stick with it for a few more hours" going through my head and yup, I made it. With a couple calories to spare!
I can see some changes in my face again, which is my favorite part of dropping pounds, and overall, I really feel like I'm making some progress. On top of that, I have more hope today than I did at the beginning of this journey. (Can you tell I'm a little excited?)
I'm two months in, and I hadn't been seeing the progress I wanted to: only 8 lbs in 2 months. BUT, I'm making progress in the fact that I've finally found a plan that is working for me! And, heck, 8 lbs gone is 8 lbs I'm not lugging around anymore!
Whooohooo!!! Life is good! Fat suit, get ready to rumble!!!
