second day

There's one thing I really hate about starting a new diet. The first pounds fall off so quickly, that I actually get worried that I might be going "too fast." And then, of course, the brakes get applied and I move nowhere for weeks on end.

I also need to hide my scale during the middle of the week, as there is no way I will pass it by in the morning and not want to check on my progress. I recognize that checking every day (or actually multiple times a day) is entirely unhealthy, but there you go.

Anyway, with the caveat that it is just those first pounds that are frustratingly easy to lose when I put any effort into it, and that I am fully aware that I'll have fluxuations up and down each day, my scale does report me at 3 pounds down from yesterday.

More importantly, I found my morning workout a little easier than Wednesday's, and I'm finding cravings a little easier to suppress.

As to workouts: When I am "on task", I do a weight training every other morning (just dumbbells for now, though I want to get a weight bench this fall) and an aroebic workout every evening (usually either treadmill or DDR, though if I mow I count that as my evening workout). This week I am 3 for 3 on weight training, but have not been doing my evening workouts, so hopefully I can turn that around starting next week.
