Weigh Day #1

20 lbs.

31 days of revised eating (not gonna call it a 'diet'), 24 days of exercise. Low calories, but not the crazy 800-1,200 calorie range that I employed in my previous weight loss efforts.

A fair comparison of this time vs. the prior ones (as it relates to my mood, mindset, and how sustainable the program and its results are) won't be answered anytime soon. But I can't get caught up in thinking ahead - not this time. That's kryptonite, that's rat poison, and I don't want anything to do with it.

Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. I spend a lot of time managing the tiny battles, and that's where my successes will be achieved - for now.
