I've been avoiding the scale lately. You know when your grocery supply gets low in the house and you begin eating really badly because.... well, that's the only option? That was me this past week. It's been sort of slim pickins around here.... I've been insanely busy with class and we were sans car for a few days because my POS VW had MORE overheating problems.... so I began to "cheat" a little bit. Nothing too major - I've cultivated quite a strong sense of self-discipline through this little experiment - but enough that I thought for sure I was going to see some fallout on the scale.
I weighed this morning.... expecting to descend immediately into a cloud of weight-gain depression....only to find that I'm still holding steady at 135. Incredible. My body is trusting the program.... my brain, not so much. I AM nervous though about my upcoming vacation.... I know there's going to be a lot of temptation... but I'm hopeful that I can maintain my self-discipline, get lots of great exercise walking/ hiking in the beautiful scenery, drink lots and lots of water (and swim in some too!!), and inspire my parents to do the same!! This will be the longest uninterrupted span of time I will have spent with them since I graduated from undergrad in '07. I'm hoping that some of my new found good habits will rub off on them.
I'm going to stop apologizing for not posting as often as I'd like to.... because of all these classes, that's just how it's going to be... Obviously, I'm nearing the end of my Dukan experiment, Stage 3 ends in August or September... and then Stage 4 goes back to normal eating with a few modifications. I've discovered that I really enjoy blogging - and so I may, at that point, transition this into just a normal blog. I hope that those of you who've been reading will continue to do so! I promise to try to keep it interesting. :)
Oh, and ..... Happy 4th of July!
