Sticking with Oscar Wilde

"I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself."

So - clearly, I am better at giving good advice than listening to it myself!!

Today I was 226.6 (227 before my shower - but I am counting the lower one...). I had a virtually perfect day yesterday... minus the flossing. I ate my food at meal times (slightly before). I was feeling hungry all day when I was supposed to, and food calmed my hunger - but not much food. I had two "legal" cheats - to keep me sane... a skim latte in the afternoon and then ONE serving of Samoas after dinner (while I was packaging up the rest of the cookies into serving sizes - that worked for me before). Those two combined brought me to what I am guessing is just about 1600 calories.

Katie and I went to the gym. I had planned to do 30 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the equipment - but the gym was PACKED! Katie and I (amazingly) got treadmills next to each other - but we decided to forego the weight workout since it was so crowded. We did 45 minutes on the treadmills - me on Alpine Pass and Katie on Forest Walk. I like the Alpine Pass because it emphasizes incline rather than speed... which I prefer - although you set your on max speed and incline (4.0 and 5 respectively for me). I was sweating like crazy last night, so I think that is why I lost close to 2 pounds between yesterday and today - all water weight.

Today is my official "perfect day." I keep forgetting to check my calendar to see which day it is. But this morning I DID look - so I am even MORE determined to stick to my good habits ALL DAY. Hopefully when I go to the gym tonight it won't be as crowded (which would be logical - since last night Katie and I went earlier than I normally do since I got out of work a little early). I am going to start carrying my gym bag in my car again - so Julie, I may actually be able to join you at your gym when you go.
