Final Tally Friday # 3

I have been "dieting" for 2 1/2 weeks. And today the scale gave me this number.

213


That means that 8 pounds is gone! This is amazing to me! Especially since I ate buffet twice yesterday! (Thanks my darling niece, Mariah!)

I am proud of myself and that is a great feeling! It is also motivating. I can't wait to go for my walk tonight.

This is what suprises me the most-

***I don't feel like I am dieting!
***I enjoy my walks (most of the time)
***Drinking my water is easy, if I just chug it down, down, down
***Blogging about my weight loss if one of my favorite things to do!

It hurts~all over!

I hurt everywhere! My feet, my legs, my shoulders, my arms, my neck, my head. Tonight I did my normal two loop walk. Every.single.step was painful! Was it the extra jogging I have been doing? The floor exercises I did yesterday? The fact that I have walked 3 days in a row? Whatever it is it hurts.

The elevator does not go to the floor marked SUCCESS, you have to take the stairs!

This is the mantra I repeated over and over tonight as I walked. When I just wanted to do I loop, when I wanted to quit halfway through the second. It is what got me through. I wasn't even rewarded with that post exercise high that I have been feeling. JUST PAIN!

But it is OK......I have tomorrow off because I will be busy all day. ALL DAY! I am going on a field trip with my son, and then to a play with my Mom and Niece. I hope to do lots of sitting. Lots and lots of sitting!

Because Friday is coming.........................................
