After a week during which I couldn't exercise as much as I'd planned, I was pretty excited to get on the scale and see that by focusing solely on food, I had maintained my weight -- no gain!  That's a first for me and it means that I followed through on my commitment to eat well and to track my eating.

Starting the week afresh, after a mental & physical day off, is a joyful, healthy, and miraculous feeling.  Taking Sundays off is among the best things I've ever done for myself and now I feel ready for the challenges I've set for myself this week.
