A couple of days ago, when someone asked me in passing how my weight loss was going, I lied. I told them that I'd lost about 15 pounds. How stupid. It's not as if there is any shame in the truth. I've worked out virtually every day (twice today, in fact), stayed on the eating plan pretty damn faithfully. I've only lost a couple of pounds, but not because I'm not giving it the effort. I suppose the lie is a reflection of my issues: my shame at being so fat, my impatience with enacting lifestyle change, my fear of failing yet again at this. Well, I'm telling you the truth right here - I've lost maybe 5 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I'm frustrated, I'm angry, I'm confused, but I am NOT giving up today. Check with me again tomorrow.
Breakfast - half of an IHOP egg white steak omelette
Lunch - other half of the omelette
Snack - 2 TBS peanut butter
Exercise - 1 hour Jazzercise, then 35 minutes of Bollywood jam.
