Thank you, Invariant, for all the encouragement. The baby steps are a bit maddening because of course I want results NOW, but I know this is a better way so that I don't utterly crash and burn later, which would be all too easy to do (and certainly I've done it many times before).
I think the best way, though, is probably to let my excessive ardor for results manifest in exercise rather than in measuring out grapes or whatever.
I don't know. I'm feeling kind of scared by all this, yet at the same time amazed to see all these fabulous ticker counters that have gone down over a hundred
pounds! This is possible--other people can do it, and if so, why not me?
And, since I'm on, breakfast was two small turkey sausage patties, a grapefruit with a bit of agave nectar on it, and half a gooseberry cranberry orange muffin toasted with a scrape of butter. I'm hoping to do another twenty minutes on the elliptical machine today and to keep on track with not randomly stuffing sweets in my mouth! I'll weigh myself again at the end of the day because I think keeping track daily is going to be really good for me.
