I Should Mention

The last month at work was so intense and exhausting that I completely abandoned my Weight Watchers point counting and my exercising. I stopped drinking enough water.

Nevertheless, when I got back on the scale early this morning, I was down two pounds since the last time I weighed myself on January 23rd.

If I'd been faithful to my program, I would have lost more. But I am delighted that I've changed my habits enough so that I after a month of stress I was still lighter at the end than the beginning. That is not the way it has worked for me in the past.

This brings my overall weight loss since mid December to 16.5 pounds.

And I did intense workouts the last three nights. I took tonight off, so I wouldn't burn myself out, and instead had fun cooking dinner with my daughter, eating at the dining room table, and then playing cards for an hour. It was a nice evening. Tomorrow I'll do my resistance workout again while the pork loin is cooking in my pressure cooker.

Huzza! Oh, and I'll be on Cap Hill this Friday evening for a meeting. Fancy an espresso in the afternoon? Caffe Vite is only a block away from where my meeting is.
