8 wk fitness update, 2 days late

I don't know if anybody noticed or not

(I'm thinking not...)

but I didn't post a 4 week update

4 weeks ago.

Here's that update: 

I took a few days off to have a pity party, then I got right back to my exercise-every-day-except-Sunday routine

and ate carefully 95% of the time.

I lost the 2.2 lbs I'd gained in the previous 4 weeks, plus another .2 lbs.

Hardly worth mentioning.

And now this update:

I continued to exercise every day except Sunday, increasing the duration of my workouts, 

and eat well 95% of the time.

I gained back the 2.4 lbs.
And another .6.

The tape measure doesn't offer any encouragement, either.

I am unspeakably sad and frustrated,

 and frankly,

 pissed!

I work so hard. 

So diligently.

I'm shocked when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror;

for all of my efforts,

I should be thin.

And firm.

But like Mulan, all I see,

is me.
