newgrl's Journal, 29 Jul 19

My two-week weigh-in date should have been on Monday, but I spent all day on Sunday in the yard, sweating my behind off doing a ton of yard work. I trimmed some tree limbs, ran the weedeater, pulled weeds (by hand) from the fence line. I worked out in the 92+ degree (F.... that's 33+ degrees in non-freedom units) heat. Then, on the Monday morning weigh-in, my weight dropped kind of significantly, so I figured it was mostly water that I had lost. Two days later, here we are, and I'm still hanging onto my low (ish.. for me anyway...) weight. So I thought I would put it up now.

I'm 11 days out from my first year of being on this diet. I guess I'm convinced. The secret to losing weight:

1. Eat less
2. Move more
3. Meticulously track your food. If it goes in your mouth, it goes on the list.
4. Be Patient!

They never tell you that last one. You're not going to lose 100 lbs in 3 days. It's going to take a while. So be patient and find a diet you can live on and stick with for a while.

Anyway... happy summer everyone! For the first time in 10 years, I don't think I have any (like ANY y'all..) doctor's appointments in August. Is that possible? Surely I've missed something...

73.8 kg Lost so far: 49.1 kg.    Still to go: 19.4 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
