A new day. I am down one pound this morning (don’t worry, I am not fool enough to believe that this means anything. I am all too familiar with the discrepancies in my scale and water weight) and only exceeded my Daily Plate allotted calories by 150 yesterday. Which isn’t too bad considering I have the calorie count set at something ridiculous like losing 20 pounds a week. I just enjoyed my English muffin with cream cheese and I think I am about to enjoy a nice cup of pumpkin spice coffee. Unfortunately I have discovered that such treats, although drinkable in the natural state, are far better with milk and flavorings. And these kind of indulgences are what led me to this weight in the first place.
