Redeeming the day

On Monday I planned a little blog posting (which I completely ran out of time to actually type and post) about my day. I’m still ravenous all the time and while I started Monday with good intentions, but mid afternoon I was eating everything and anything in sight. I forced myself to stop and write everything out, hoping that it wouldn’t be too bad once it was on paper. And it wasn’t. In fact, 20 minutes on my elliptical could undo the damage I’d done, if I didn’t eat anything else that day. Done and done.

Tuesday was hard, but I know that I can’t keep saying, “Today is hard, I’ll have a cheat day and start afresh tomorrow.” So I kept myself on track and looked forward to the veggie lasagna and angel food cake with berries I’d planned for our Canada’s Next Top Model Finale Party. It was SO worth the wait.

And I swallowed my pride and did my 20 minutes on the elliptical then endured wet hair through our party (because I didn’t have time to exercise, cook and look beautiful!)

Well, I think I’m being rewarded for soldiering on. Or being given incentive to continue. Because this morning when I stepped on the scale for Shrinking Into Summer Weigh in 7, I was down a whopping THREE pounds!

I’d been feeling a little blue thinking that I might not fit into those new skirts in time for our conference in Whistler after all. But now I’m all jazzed up to keep trying!
