End of Week 1

Wonderful Days 5, 6, 7

I am ecstatic for I did not cheat this weekend. Being faithful over the weekend is a major feat for someone who has cheated almost every weekend since starting and restarting this diet. I almost failed last night, but thanks to a good friend’s support, I stayed true to the diet and boy am I glad I did. I am a little curious though, as I gained half a pound over the weekend. While I am not 100% certain how this happened, I am thinking it is because of the sugar alcohols I had. Though they have a small impact on most, it is possible they have a huge impact for me. Still I am 144.2 and am hopeful I will be 143 by tomorrow morning (maybe Wednesday morning). I did not keep up with my workouts this week which could have had a small impact. I was suppose to work out Friday but that never happened. Saturday I worked out for an hour and then walked around for six at an outlet center near my home. That is six hours with no breaks, so one could just imagine how tired I was. I fact I was so exhausted I did not work out Sunday, though now I wish I did. I did work out for 30 minutes today. I would have worked out for at least 50 but during my workout my cable box was rebooted by the cable company…boohoo! That is okay though, I can complete my workout when I get home tonight. It will be the perfect time to do a little yoga which I have not done lately. I just need to make sure I work out tomorrow and Wednesday as well to ensure I get in four workouts this week.
