R1 Day 18

This morning I had a loss of 1 lb. Thank goodness! I was beginning to get depressed. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news. As for today, I had an orange this morning, chicken salad for lunch, and beef with asparagus for dinner. I missed my second fruit again. I hope that doesn't hurt me. I haven't been keeping total on my calories so who knows. I have been trying all day to drink water. If I am correct, as of this moment I have drunk probably around 70-80 oz of water. I have about 20 oz more to go at least. I have been pretty busy all day today trying to get my house in order so tonight after a day of painting, my legs, ankles, and hands are swollen even though I have tried to drink water. This may mean that I should drink more than just 100 oz today if that is the case. I will try to do it before I go to bed but I don't know how much longer I am going to last. I am pretty tired as it is right now.

I know I keep saying that I am going to start an exercise regime but it has yet to happen. I am regretting it already. I keep wondering how I could have lost any weight at all if I still look the same and I still fit in my clothes the same. I just don't get it. I keep thinking that I should have at least shrunk enough that my clothes fit better. They do not. If anything at all, I think, though it may just be in my head, that my muffin top has reduced but when I measure myself it is all the same. Speaking of which, I had no loss today. I am not totally sure that I am measuring myself correctly though. Ah, well. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.
