I ran to the park and back this morning. I was a bit more tired than I should be. I don't know if it was the up-tempo music, or the guy that passed me. When he did, I felt a bit of competitiveness take over and raise my pace, which was fine as long as the guy was in front of me. He wasn't on the way back and I paid for it. It was also really humid.
206.6 on the scale for a total of 7.0 pounds gone. Feels damn good.
The first thing I've noticed about being on the diet is the lack of sleepiness after meals. There's no downtime where the eyelids droop and drool creeps from the lips. I feel a nice, steady level of energy all day. It's quite refreshing.
Also, did-ya-know to keep the low/non-fat foods tasty, manufacturers add sugar? So, when eating "low-fat" foods, you actually take in more sugary carbs, which get stored as fat if you don't use them. And most of us don't use them. That's why our "low-fat" foods are actually getting us fatter.
