Weight loss: 5.4lbs
Mood: a little let down (by myself)
I had a big let down today when I stepped on the scale only to find that I had gained weight. I only gained 0.2lbs but it was a gain nonetheless. I also realized that the reason I gained that 0.2lbs is because I didn't exercise this last week (well not enough).
Through past journal keeping I determined that my food intake isn't a huge problem (except for weekends where I tend to overeat because I am around the house or out with friends) and that to lose weight I NEED to exercise- my metabolism is just too slow for less food to work alone.
Today I realized why I haven't been exercising - I'm too lonely (when I exercise). My elliptical machine is in my room, which is in the basement. With D not working and everyone done classes, they tend to hang out in the living room above my room and for me to go downstairs and workout I need to leave the socializing and be alone which I don't like to do at night since I am alone all day long at work. Tonight I am going to try to create a schedule with D where we go downstairs and workout (either both of us or just me and he studies or something else that he needs to do) for at least 30-60 minutes. This way I am not the only one who needs to leave the social activity and I won't be completely alone down there in my little dungeon. I hope it works.
On the good side of things - I have consistently drunk over 1 litre of water every workday for the past week and am ready to up the daily amount to let's say 1.5 litres. Starting today.
