With a grimace, I stepped on the (unofficial) scale for the first time since weighing in at 146 lbs on September 5. While there were grander hopes than 141 lbs, I’m happy to see progress in the right direction. An annual physical on Friday will determine the official progress.
Working out might help – right now my YMCA membership might as well be considered a charitable donation. I have been interested in the much costlier CrossFit, but will wait on that until the New Year’s Resolution crowd has fallen back into their bad habits.
Clean in ’13 has been a beneficial experience. I’ve found that the foods I crave all week are not very fulfilling when consumed on the weekend. I’ve even found myself having trouble eating poorly on Friday…but by Saturday, that hesitation is long gone. I also eat a lot less. And those are all wins.
