The reason I am indulging is a three-fold celebration.
#1 - I achieved my 100% goal for Week #7
Woo-hoo! Go me!!
#2 - I've officially passed the 10 lb loss mark
#3 - TODAY IS DAY 50 AND I AM HALFWAY DONE!!!
Some "halftime" thoughts.
I had hoped that this would be going faster. Impatience is really hard to overcome, no matter how much I admonish myself otherwise. However, my minimum hope was to lose 20 lbs on the challenge and at the halfway point I've lost 10. Looks like the math checks out.
Slower is better. Yes, yes, I know, I know. This way, I'm not abusing or confusing my body. Neither am I putting a strain on my mind with excessive denial. Things I've gotten to enjoy in moderation these past seven weeks have included cookies, peanut butter toast, ice cream (once, a small custard bowl in honor of Valentine's Day), restaurant food, and lots and lots of honey-sweetened tea.
I know I haven't been writing the fun filler blog entries that I've been promising. That's because I've been out there! Doing the work! I don't have time to stop and write about it too! Pffft.
Last week I was heavily preoccupied working on yet another editing pass of my theater novel. This one I'm shopping around for publication and I needed to make some changes before I continued with the shopping. And once I get started on an editing pass it kind of burns up all of my concentration until it's finished.
I still feel better. Leaner, more awake.
