Day 19 was uneventful. Total weight loss is holding at 13 pounds. I will check again in the morning, but I don't expect much movement. I was super tired today. I was up all night with one child with a stomach virus and the other with a head cold. Didn't get much sleep, so it was extra hard to run on a calorie deficiency today. The last week of the Diet is tough as portions are cut down further to maximize the weight loss. I didn't have it in me to maintain the cuts of week three. So I went back to week two's menu. In addition, I cheated a bit this afternoon and had some popcorn. I needed it at the time, but it made me more tired and slowed my workout down this evening. Its okay, I don't feel bad. I learned awhile back that it is OK to slow down once in awhile - so I did. I've got two more days to go and plan to resume the week three portions tomorrow after I get some much needed sleep tonight (I hope).
Despite being tired and slow today, I did feel different. I know I look different. Everyone can see it, my clothes are loose, but today I felt it. I felt more solid and strong. Everyone wants to be thin. Me included. However, what I learned is that there is a difference between thin and lean. I am starting to feel comfortable in my own skin now. This is how you are suppose to feel. I want to maintain this feeling. For this reason, I am really looking forward to Mike's new book Living Lean.
Lesson learned on Day 19: There is a difference between thin and lean.
