Magpiezoe's Journal, 17 Jul 24

Yesterday, I was having so much trouble with my hip and I felt so heavy. I weighed myself yesterday in the evening and saw 150 lbs. I started to get disappointed, but told myself not to give up. I analyzed my caloric intake and noticed a pattern of the calories alternating each day. The calories were still low and the meals were nutritious. No real junk food like candy or cake. I told myself I have only been going back and doing full fledged salads for just a few days and reminded myself about the documentary I watched. It said it can take your body a while to respond to change and can take at least 12 hours, before it will start to burn fat due to exercise. I also told my self that weight fluctuates and you will weigh more as the day progresses than in the morning. Add to that we are having a heat wave. I weighed myself again this morning and I'm happy to say I'm 147.9 lbs. Yaaaaaa! Those few little pounds matter when it comes to having a lot less pain. I plan on having carrot sticks with my salad today. I will be making hubby some sponge cake, but I'm telling myself not to partake or I'll undo my progress. I could do something for myself with the frozen bananas and frozen blueberries....Sounds like "nice-cream" is just what I need later on today.
