Another day. Day 3. Day "3"s are always the most challenging for me, they always have been. Back in 10th grade when I was doing the whole "500 calorie per day" thing, I would drink iced coffee for breakfast, chew gum for lunch, and have dinner with the family that I'd estimate to equal 500 cals. I totally broke my metabolism. But anyway, back then, I would be able to do that perfectly for one day, somewhat all right for the second day, and then lose it on the third day. Over and over.
I'm starting off right with a weigh-in, I know it's just fluctuation since it's only been a day...but I decided to check anyway. If it goes the "wrong" way I'll fix up my plan but not check again until a week goes by.
I finally feel sore after a workout (I know, not the most fun but I felt like I didn't do anything on Monday and I hate that!!)...so I think I should break out the "yoga for weight loss workout" DVD. it's no tame stretching session.
I figure I'll eat an orange now, then do some yoga, then eat a bigger breakfast and get some work done...class goes really late tonight so I don't think I'll make it to the gym but as long as I do this DVD I should be ok.

Remember sore muscles mean that your muscles have little tears and water is replaced which can mean a gain or no loss on the scale. It is a temporary condition that will go away (but comes back when you change up your exercise). Just keep going and you will the scale will even out in the end. You will also go down in sizes much quicker than those who don't exercise.

I am excited that you are still going strong and it is Day 3. I think someone once told me that it takes 21 days to make a habit. Personally, for me it takes much longer. My new habits are: coming on here, measuring everything I eat and reading labels, and mostly exercising but for sure feeling guilty when I do not exercise-- all these items in January did not exist. Change comes, but it comes slowly. You are doing such a wonderful job!

Hi! Thank you for the comment you left in my journal! I am still trying to figure this site out so not sure if I'm replying in the correct spot or not :) You had asked for advice regarding the weight loss journey. My biggest pieces of advice is to just not give up and don't look at the big picture...it can be so overwhelming. Just take one day, one meal at a time and eventally all the small changes will add up to big results. If you slip up, don't throw in the towel, even for the rest of the day, get back on track right away with the very next thing you eat. Good Luck to you...I've done it so I have no doubt at anyone else doing it either :)
