The Weighing Is The Hardest Part...
So, just a quick post whilst I finish my lunch: one of my previous posts dealt with a particularly busy food weekend (multiple bbq's; more heavy & less healthy stuff, etc.)--I bring this up because yesterday afternoon, we had a farewell lunch for our office manager (& my good friend of the last 6 years) & I had already started the day with my usual 3/4 to a mile walking combined from leaving home, before/between & after the buses to work; then after a lite breakfast here (had a little something & coffee & bottled water @ home 1st), I had 2 big plates of salad & dressing, some pasta w/ ala vodka sauce, 1 & a half pieces of chicken (in a francaise sauce) then last nite, the wife & I ordered Chinese for the 1st time in quite awhile (stayed pretty healthy: tofu & veggies, brown rice, steamed veggie dumplings & a treat of a coupla small fried wontons); I had done some extra walking between buses on the home due to the lunch & exercised a few times before work & at home, then after the 2nd bus, did a mile & half alone (just under 3 miles for the day); this all brings me to point out that this Saturday (was originally Friday) is the meeting & weigh-in with the new nutritionist (been keeping the food journal steadily & for every meal & snack as per her instructions & taking her advice & suggestions as to how to change things here & there for the better); guess I'm a little nervous about the weigh-in; I've been holding steady, floating around 180 all this time (down 35 lbs since I first started all this last October/November), but still feel more times than not, that I'm at the bottom of a very tall & wide wall to scale & get over (hence, the phrase "hitting the wall"); I shouldn't worry so much, I guess; I know I'm doing good (more & more people notice & compliment my results all the time); also, it's not like I don't weigh myself (we have a scale in the bedroom, I get weighed in doctors' offices, etc.)--I think because it's the 1st time I'm doing such a regimented program of controlled/changed eating & notating my results, etc., it's stressing me out (ME?? STRESSED OUT?? Imagine that--LOL)...anyway, back to work; as always, I'll keep you all "posted"-- ciao 4 now :)
