Friday 9/16/11
Weight: 220.6
Rise time: 8:45 a.m.
Bedtime: 11:30 p.m. (planned)
Exercise: scheduled for tomorrow a.m.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thoughts and Feelings: Good job in spite of disturbance in my routine.
Had a big exam this week and lost track, but apparently did well as I've lost 2.8 # since my last weigh in (2 weeks ago?)
Since I began trying to lose weight, I've reduced from 228 to 220.6, down 7.4 pounds. Only 2.6 to go to reach my first goal of a 10-pound reduction. Yay!
Thursday when I attended a conference. Food was provided so I didn't have a banana. However, the food was so awful that I only ate enuf to keep from fainting with hunger. : / So I'm sure my calorie count was very low.
Plus I only exercised on Monday (will again on Saturday), so the lack of muscle use may have reduced my weight a little? Not sure.
It's Friday, it's just turned cold, and it's been a month since I've had fries, so I treated myself to a combo today. Don't want to feel deprived, after all, and yesterday I WAS DEPRIVED! :D So, it's okay as long as I get back on the healthy track.

With the 2 bananas didn't feel quite as peckish as I did on Friday. Still, just before lunch felt VERY chilled (blood sugar low). After bar was sweating again. Weird metabolism.
A little tired today which I will blame on the full moon. I'll be glad to go to bed early.
