Any fans of 80's movies out there? Specifically the back to the future franchise. There were these moments in the film where the protagonist would have a confrontation with the antagonist and it always ended the same way. Right when cooler heads were going to prevail and the protagonist was about to walk away, the antagonist would call him a chicken, leading to the protagonist to do something stupid.

 

 

 

 

Today's Weight: 191.8


Down almost 2 pounds in one day! Still super happy to be on the right track, and today is the last day one detox! I will be spending the day at a festival at Piedmont Park, and have already packed a bag of fruit for my 3pm meal. I am going to the movies later, so I will have to resist the temptation of my usual bag of movie theater popcorn. Sigh, the sacrifices I have to make! Here's hoping I keep up with this downward trend, I haven't been this excited about loosing weight in years.

Be Motivated, Don't Celebrate
So you lost a few more pounds? Way to go! Now, go loose a few more! Too often, we want to celebrate the fact that we lost a few pounds by eating something we have been depriving ourselves of. That should not be our reaction to such good news! If you have been fortunate enough to loose weight, it should motivate you to want to loose more, not dabble in old habits. Smokers don't have a cigarette to celebrate 90 days since the last one, whats the point if you are just going to start the clock all over again. Instead, celebrate while standing in the bathroom staring at the scale, then, decide what it is you have to do to see the same weight or less the next day on the scale, so you can have another mini-celebration tomorrow! Keep your eyes on the prize, when you get to your goal weight, you will be able to celebrate big time! OK, fine, on that day you can have your cake.
