Week 1 Results






Remember all of that stress and agita I was creating for myself earlier this week with the whole scale/weighing myself daily thing?  Well, it turns out it was all for naught.

I lost 3.5 pounds this week.

I didn't have to starve myself.  I didn't exercise every single day like a maniac.  I stayed 'in the box' which is HMR-speak for "on the plan".  I drank at least 64 oz. of water a day, sometimes more.  I worked out three days in a row, but not at all for the other seven.  In fact, if I'm honest...I really didn't feel like I missed out on anything this week. 

I went to a cocktail party.  I threw a dinner party.  I went to the movies with a friend.  I went to lunch with a friend.  It meant that we didn't go to Flour but instead grabbed salads in a shopping center.  It meant that I sit near the crudite platter versus the cheese plate, which is frankly, where I would have rather been.   These small things had a big payoff this week!


Now, on to the harder part:  getting through Christmas Eve with desserts that look like this:
