I have a confession
If you read my blog post from Tuesday on my weight loss blog, you will see that I've kind of been apprehensive about getting really serious about weight loss. If you read my total calories from Tuesday and Wednesday, you'll see what I'm talking about.
It's such a vicious cycle to get caught up in, but I'm so neurotic about the whole thing. I'm trying really hard today to do better (increase calories...what a strange thing to say). So, I'm hoping you all can call me out when you think I've gone too far. Sometimes that's the jolt of reality that I need.
On a good note, I weighed this morning (not the scales I originally used) and I think I've lost another 2 pounds (not surprising after the last couple of days). I'll be sure when I use my grandfather's digital scale again, but I've updated my ticker.
My legs are killing me from the excercise!! I feel like an old lady! LOL! But, I'm really serious about working toward my goal for the Race for the Cure, so I hope that will help ease the pain somewhat. LOL
By the way, for anyone interested in the Race for the Cure, it's a race, but LOTS of people walk it. I would say about 3/4 of the people walk, and the others run. It's awesome to see all the survivors in pink congregating and celebrating. It makes whatever little problems you have in life seem somehow tiny in comparison. I encourage all of you to try it. They have them in TONS of towns and you can look up your state on the website.
I hope you all are having a great week. I love the support I'm getting from you all.

I'm so glad Christina is a good partner. (Nice comment, Christina.)
Melissa - I'm glad you confessed this and just very sorry that I hadn't read your weightloss blog until today.
It's pretty clear to me that you're bordering on anorexia. Please make sure you take in more healthy calories. If it makes you feel bad to eat certain foods - that's fine - but eat more eggs, chicken, dairy such as yogurt cheese and milk, and whole grains - these things are healthy for you and will help you lose weight the right way.... If you starve your body by reducing calories like this you will lose muscle - not fat. That's just the way the body works.
Please keep us updated. I'm a former bulimec - and sometimes when I binge the urge to revert to old habits and "get rid of it" is very strong - but I don't do it.... Stick with me Melissa. Let's lose weight the right way - once and for all. Ok?

Thanks Tee. I'm trying pretty hard to keep it all in check. Damn this OCD! LOL!
I think having to account for it to someone else really helps.
