Water, Supps, Exercise:

• Got my 100 oz in again
• Took them all, but managed to miss 2 of 4 doses of pennicillin - sigh
• No, none again, but I am going to just keep pastiing in all of these 'no, nones' until I shame myself into getting started!!!!
  

Well, I finally prepped something for breakfasts today, my hardest meal (because I don't like to eat in the morning). I'd actually forgotten how good my instant hot cereal was, it's been so long since I made any.

I can't believe how low my calories have been. I am not doing it on purpose, I am just very, very busy and not as hungry as usual - and that second part tells me I am doing *something* RIGHT!

My scale addiction is a hard one to beat. I hopped on there again today, only to find no change. Which beats the heck out a gain. One thing I do remember about this journey from the first time around is just how much my weight loss can vary from one day to another. That does make it hard to not weigh daily, because what if that one day when I do weigh, just happens to be a day when I've retained 5 pounds of water?! So I will keep trying to stay off the scale, and when I do weigh, I think I shall do it for three days in a row, then quit weighing again for at least one week. That way, I can be sure I don't let one abberant weigh-in ruin my mood for the next week. (It is a LOT easier to tell someone else to not let the scale bother them and just keep eating right, than it is to actually do so. Guess that's about the same for all things, though, LOL!)
