Day 10

Ok so I knew it had to happen...the scale went up 1# today. I was living in a fools paradise with a 8.2# loss in one week, but I really liked it. Even knowing it was totally unrealistic, I really liked it. Ok, Ok I am now reminded weight loss is not that easy or fast. Point taken.

Yesterday I did not take a 15 minute walk. I was still feeling under the weather so I took a nap instead. That was actually a good idea because about 2 hours after I got to work I started feeling substantially better. Not perfect but pretty damn good. So today I made it to the gym for a short visit. I did 16 minutes on the elliptical and 16 minutes on the treadmill. Just cardio today. Tomorrow I plan to do some weight training also.

I have been staying in the caloric range so I am happy about that. In the past I would have gone over by now. The big 60 birthday that is rapidly approaching is foremost in my mind. I don't want to screw this up and I want to be have a "normal" BMI by then. Each year you live, health becomes more and more important. Your body is pretty forgiving to some of the abuse one inflicts on it, but the older you get the less forgiving it is. The younger you learn this lesson, the better your chances of having a healthy, long life.

I can,I will!!
