]I'm trying to keep that in mind. It's still not very encouraging to see the
damn scale go up half a pound!

Yep, running averages (or "moving averages", as I call them) smooth
fluctuations out nicely.

I know it's hard to get a lot of water in. I shoot for two liters a day -
I just can't drink a lot at once. But the rewards are infinite - better skin,
healthier body . . .and it flushes the fat away.
I still think getting on the scale once a day is not helping you - weight loss
is such a psychological thing, that if the numbers aren't going down, it can
be discouraging. A once a week thing, or once every two weeks might be
better.

I'm trying to increase the water intake. When I remember I gulp down a whole
glass of water (usually with my nose closed and really fast)
(Try multiple times a day ;) ) I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a
"lifestyle change" like the fiance keeps telling me, yadda yadda yadda. But
I want results now dammit!!
Irrespective of what teh scale says, Iseem to have lost 2 inches around the
waist, the hips are still the same, and the fiance says my ass looks better.
Whether he's lying so as not to discourage me or he really means it I can't
tell. He says he means it.

Tee hee. My girlfriend's mother was reading this last time we visited, and
seemed *quite* taken by it.

Fruit and vegetables and boiled grains are mostly water. So is juice.
Meat and bread are not.

resp:80 resp:86 that's what I'd been saying all along.
resp:82 resp:83 Better advice: portion control. Eat a little less than
you would have. Don't believe in "the clean plate club." At the same
time, don't deprive yourself of stuff, like say, a dessert. Don't
snack between meals-- especially, try to document what you eat... and
don't just say, carry a bag of something around, like chips. Stick to
the three meals a day-- with one mid-meal fixed snack if you need it.
But fixed portions all, total amount.
resp:88 again, the inches count more than the pounds in the long run.
Muscle weighs more than fat.
re: the water thing-- it can't hurt to drink a glass of water at every
meal.

I haven't really changed much in terms of dinner, we still eat the same thing,
though my portions are smaller. Lunch has changed from burger and fries to
a turkey sandwich from Subway. I love black olives and lots of vinegar, so
I really enjoy my lunch. I've never been one that has to have something sweet,
though I do enjoy the occasional dessert. Dessert these days is this wonderful
honey cake that's delicious, and low in cals made of rye. Courtesy Trader
Joe's. If I'm realy hungry, a snack woyld be Wisecrackers from Trader Joe's
again
Today's workout was shorter than normal because of a ticket that caused me
to get to the gym late, and piano class which caused me to leave early. My
aerobic workout was cut in half. Weight was te normal, except I didn't get
the time to do the calves and triceps, as the machines were busy and I had
to get to class. I guess I can give myself a break, considering I've been
really religious about the gym. I was thinking of skipping it rather than have
a less than complete workout, but in the end I rationalised that getting any
workout at all was better than breakin the rhythm that would most prolly send
me into a spiral of more missed workouts.

No thanks.
157 this morning. Pretty encouraging, even though it may be a
fluctuation. Will weigh myself at the same scale I used a week ago at
the gym.
