Phase 3 Week 3 Day 2

Dateline Wuxi, China Monday March 18, 2013

606 calories on the elliptical this morning in 31 minutes.

I do wish I could get myself to the point where I look forward to my time on the machine.  It’s not a bad time.  I get to think, plan my day, work out ideas, get inspired by possible postings.  And I do feel so very good when it’s over.  But somehow, getting on the machine is still something I have to make myself do, and do without joy or enthusiasm.  Working on it.

Both Saturday and Sunday were cheater days this week, and serious ones.  Saturday was my usual pig out on sugar and carbofats.  Sunday was a big wedding, and a serious lunchtime feast.  We did eat sensibly for dinner – poached salmon with rice and broccoli, and I did manage to resist or ignore the impulse to have a shot of scotch.  But still, unless I get serious about this, Phase 2 will not get me to my sixpack.  It will be just another period of watching my weight and beating myself up for going off the program.
