VCLD 16

Oops! I gained. Just when I was thinking how great it was that I was losing everyday. But I know what happened. User error. I used leftover beef broth to saute some fish last night. 1. only use chicken broth. 2. and it must be fat free. I blew it on both counts. Just not thinking. If you don't stay on protocol - you gain. Bummer. But, it's .5 lb and it could have been worse. Just a day lost in the weight-losing sense. :P

I have often thought of lost weight in terms of weights. Yeah, the kind you lift. If you lose 1 lb or 5 lbs think of that weight lost as a 1-lb or 5-lb dumbbell. It will put the weight that is no longer carried on your body into tangible terms. So....yesterday I actually hefted the dumbbell that represented my current lost weight. I was awestruck, and quickly realized; it is one thing to imagine the dumbbell weight in your mind, and quite another to lift it. Now multiply that out in your mind by 10s +++ for those who are very obese. Add to that gravity, and it's amazing that our bodies can sustain the unnatural weight.
