Waist 32 1/4", Seat 39 1/4"
NOTES:
The crackers and cheese taste good. I'm pleased with the waist and seat measurements. Pants are so much bigger now... It's amazing though how little the body needs to live. I don't feel low on energy; negotiating a flight of stairs is not a problem. After all there is less weight to carry around... I don't feel hungry and don't really miss eating. It's exciting to see the progress.

NOTES:
I knew the break was coming... I'm glowing stepping off the scale. Persistence pays off, but it's not over yet. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.
My energy level is good. I don't feel hungry and don't really feel deprived of food. I do get cold easy, but extra layer of clothing and wool socks do the trick. My blood pressure is 99/70 and pulse is 72. My blood pressure was always below 100/70 until I passed my thirties, exercised less and gained about 20 pounds. I guess I'm turning things back...

I think that moderate walk may be more effective than a faster run. I am not interested in building the muscle mass, just in losing the fat. Low impact exercise seems to work well…

NOTES:
I was actually surprised that the scale did not move up more after eating significantly above plan… That’s good, but back to plan. I’ll take the dogs or a long walk today too. I see the need for a different everyday plan… a lifestyle change regarding food intake. The portions I used to eat were definitely too big. That’s why the weight went up. Obviously the body does not need that much to function, unless more physical work needs to be done, of course. I’ll need to come up with the “exit” plan from this weight loss program, to keep the weight off.
