Debbie Cousins's Journal, 10 Mar 19

I was GOING to entitle this "Bag of Potatoes" or "5-lb Bag of Sugar" - but then I realized that a couple years ago they reduced the 5-pound bags to 4-pound bags.

I've lost FIVE POUNDS already this week in the Swimsuit Slimdown! I'm pretty sure this is the most I've EVER lost in just one week! I'm not fasting. Not starving myself. Over the past 9 days, my Caloric intake has been (in order least to highest):1,023, 1,181, 1,273, 1,309, 1,323, 1,509, 1,676 1,684, and one day when I went crazy at 2,368. Averaged out, it equals 1,352 per day. That’s a VAST improvement!

In February, I screwed up a lot, and didn’t even record for several days during the depressed period. For the last 9 days that I DID record (in a row) in February, though, the average was 1.807 (and 4 of those days were over 2,000 calories). NO WONDER I wasn’t losing!!!

I also wasn’t EXERCISING during that period. Now, walking briskly through grocery stores and doing knee PT exercises might not be what a lot of YOU consider to be exercise, but for ME, it’s major. PLUS, since I started taking the new Abilify, I have LOTS more energy, and have even been doing things around the house, like cooking, and keeping the kitchen clean, doing laundry (and even folding it and putting it away afterward), pulling clothes down from the attic and sorting them to give away!!!

As I said in a previous post, “IF FEELS SO GOOD TO FEEL SO GOOD!!!”

A 5 k is roughly 3 miles. A marathon is 26 miles. I have a young friend who has done 3 marathons now. She is 13..

I learned metric in grade school (1970's). I am still awesome at the distances, but no longer remember the conversion rates for liquids and weight vs mass. I wish the US would convert... I did a short stint as a substitute teacher a long time ago and got to teach kids metric distances for a couple of days, and it's SO easy because metric is 10's based. Kids "get it" more quickly than teaching 8ths, 16ths etc.
