Day 9

Today was a good learning experience for me. I was "not feeling it" today. My energy level was low and I felt as if I was mentally not here. I worked through it and had a very productive day. I hope that when I do not have 3 trainers breathing down my neck keeping me focused that I would have made it through this type of situation. That is the part of the journey that scares me in my quest for a new life.

Besides my workout we went "grocery" shopping with the nutritionalist. I was amazed to see how the layout of the store is and how all stores are the same. Shopping will definatly be easier for me in the future as I know how to shop.

Tomorrow is a very long day. I have not weighed in but my clothes feel a little loose but I am trying not to get to excited.

Again thanks to all who have either "blogged", posted on FB or sent me personal messages.

  1. Hey Ira,

    It is hard on days you just don't feel it! I know what you mean. However, I find that sometimes once you get into a routine it does become easier. You are doing an incredable thing and I admire it alot!

    Don't loss hope, it takes time to change habits and energy levels! Keep on rocking!

  3. Ira,
    I've analyzed your posts. Your energy level is running at 79% of normal. Enthusiasm is 98% of capacity which is an increase of 500 basis points of pre-camp levels. Your stress index increased dramatically due to your temporary illness but the trend is decidedly down and projected to be at an all time low level by the next 10 days. Morale and mood indicators have moved to the +2 position. Your ego shields are holding constant at a mid-level range and I urge you to continue to reign-in lapses that might skew other indicators.
