Day 8

What I did:

• Walked 2 miles in about 34 minutes (more details).  I took it a little slower tonight, but went farther.
• 25 push ups throughout the day.  My shoulder has started hurting while I do push ups, so I'm going to lay off of them for a while
• 20 side-crunches
• 20 seconds of planking

What I didn't:

• Get chips and a soda with my sandwich (Reuben at Jersey Mike's (without sauerkraut, though, 'cause they were out))
• Eat until I was full.  I had one "normal"-sized bowl of Cheerios this morning and one serving of the shells and brats for dinner.  I didn't quite feel satisfied, but I managed to avoid all of the free snacks at work.
• Give up after yesterday's disheartening weigh-in.  I almost didn't go out for the walk, but I decided to go, anyway.  I tried to justify myself with saying stuff like "Ya know, the more you don't want to go, the more you should go," but the fact of the matter is that I didn't want to report that I didn't go walking the day after the weigh-in.  And that is precisely why I decided to make this whole process public.
