day one

Okay… day One

First, I weighed myself for the first time in oh… about ten years… I hate scales, they tell me the truth and I prefer fiction. I have a cheap old thing that’s very difficult to read, but I think I’m approximate 162 lbs… I’m shooting for aprox. 142 lbs by the reunion. I know that’s a weight I look good enough at and more importantly can maintain. I’m sure 130 something is possible, but I’d have to deprive to keep it, and as I’ve mentioned this whole process is an experiment in dieting without deprivation. It might fail, which will make for a lousey reunion and even worse story, but I’m off and running. I took vitamins in the morning with Oo long tea… (I’d seen it on Oprah and it fits my overall… add things take away nothing plan. So I had a cup).

I took the vitamins with water instead of juice, thereby getting in glass one. I don’t like vitamins and prefer Juice to mask the strong flavor they aren’t supposed to have. I took a multi and a fish oil. I’ll take colon (ie., high fiber pill) with my evening glass of water.

There were food missteps today. A burrito (long story sister in from Tokyo) and two really good cookies, that were free. (it’s Christmas and free sweets are everywhere). Also, I forgot the middle of the day water… but will down one now to catch up. Also I’m trying to impose a one half hour of very mild exercise rule, but haven’t succeeded yet. The night still lies ahead. Overall, though I’m pleased. I added things and deprived of nothing, have a night of wine ahead of me. (remember sister in from Tokyo) Will see tomorrow how it’s going.
