My face is breaking out bigtime. I have two really sexy pimples on my face, one is in an entirely odd place where I don't believe I've ever had one before. UGH! I didn't weigh myself today because, well, I am going to try my darnedest not to weigh-in every day. I did okay eating yesterday, not perfect though. I ended up skipping the gym and taking the dog for a walk instead since he gave me that sad puppy dog face when he saw me getting my shoes on to go, like "aren't you going to take ...

All this nice weather and I got behind in my journal! So, here I am at the end of the first week on the 'feast'. Well, it has been tough. I am down to 145lbs which I haven't seen in probably 5 years. I have been running every day, increasing my mileage and continuing to go to bed early/get up early. I have had many people comment on my wt. loss, even though I really haven't lost that much weight.

I've even made a couple of ill-fated, half-hearted attempts which in all fairness were not that bad. The main reason I have not been 100% raw is because at some point or another, there is a social situation in which I cannot bear to miss or one in which I cannot bring myself to decline food when I am in attendance -- so essentially it's all down to me.

Living in Singapore we get slightly old American TV - and a very limited selection at that - which is why I caught Alissa on the Diet Wars episodes of the Tyra Banks show. I would NEVER have watched Tyra at home, mainly because I'm not home during the day and I don't watch talk shows even when I am.
