Definitely a 'why the hell am I doing this?' kind of morning. Scale shows absolutely no movement in the last week. Yeah, yeah, I know, I shouldn't weight myself every morning.....

I have the metabolism of.......um.....I don't know. A sloth? Some creature that has a glacial metabolism. I once visited a doctor who told me to look on the bright side. Shipwrecked on an island with no food, I would probably survive the longest. Huh. Doesn't make me feel any better about myself.

Good news is I have been meticulous with tracking my food. There is no fudging, no cheating, nothing. I am hitting up 3 classes (2 core conditioning, one weight lifting) a week, in addition to my own cycle class and running. The bad news is I seem to be doing this just fine on about 1200 calories a day! One thing I do know is my diet is very heavy on the carbs. Of course. I eat a vegan diet. Very hard to do the atkins thing when you are a vegan. I do know my protein intake is low (at least according to American stats, I think using WHO I hit the minimums). So I am going to try to fit in 6 oz of tofu every day (roughly 20% of my points). Any other ideas of a protein I can use in place of an english muffin (whole wheat)?

Everyone else is doing great so far on the program. S and K showed up at my cycle class last night and did great. Especially K who was there for her very first time. S did fine managing the physical part of the class, I knew it wouldn't tax her much cardio wise but she was very uncomfortable with the seat. She will get used to it. At one point, she actually said she would rather go out for a three mile run than be cycling. Who would have thought? I remember when she started running and 1 mile, much less 3 seemed almost impossible and here she was throwing it out there as a more desirable and do-able activity than cycling!

I cannot wait until Tuesday night because I think Sue and S will show some real results with their weigh in. I just hope I haven't gained.....
