146.0

My weight...I guess it's mostly down. But a couple days ago, the scale did tell me 145.8 lbs. I was dehydrated then. I also am expecting my monthly at any time now.

I've got to lose 7 lbs. in 9 days to make my goal. I honestly don't know how on earth I can do all that. A water fast, but that isn't even practical for me to try, and the weight wouldn't be honest-fat-loss. I would rather know that what I accomplished is permanent, rather than going to bounce right back as soon as I take a bite.

Also, I'm experiencing some muscle gain, since my workouts have changed up quite a bit in the last week or two. I was sore for 2 or 3 days after my run (mild tenderness), but that always means that your body is repairing muscle tissue...which means an increase.

A lady commented last week that I look like I've lost some weight, and a friend told me last night that my face looks thinner. Dang. I don't want anyone to see me. Why can't I be invisible? I've been wearing all my old, baggy clothes, trying to stay the same to everyone. Which I know is impossible...as I'm trying to lose almost 75 lbs. before I'm done, but I can't have people bothering me about it. They sure as heck didn't bother me when I was putting the weight on; and they better not get in my business about it now.

Rock'n day

I put in a short-but-sweet killer-level workout today. It was only 23 minutes, but it was intense cardio, all the way. I walked out feeling loose, light, and fully oxygenated! Now to finish up the day with my 1000 reps of toning + my stretch routine, and I'm good.

It's chef salad tonight for my food, at 8:30 p.m.. I've drank my gallon of water already, so I'll allow myself to have diet coke the rest of today.

I went to the grocery store today, and came home with lettuce, veggies, fruits, etc., so I can do healthy food when I eat. To tell the truth, the junky-crap I had been eating was no longer appetizing. Yesterday, when I was forcing junk food down my gut, I didn't even want it. I guess that's the beauty of fast-5ing. Eventually, you lose your taste for nasty food.

I did well on the porcelein throne today, too...so I should be ok to weigh in the morning...lol.
