Day 21, Rest

          Finally my rest day is here and it was just as nice as I imagined it to be. The little monster let me sleep in to around 06:30, we had a nice filling breakfast of veggie omelets and the day was spent with family. I've gotten all the laundry caught up so no more stinky workout clothes. The little monster was happy because he was able to spend time outside in the sun. On the whole it was a very nice day.
          I did have a minor disagreement with the Wii Fit this morning though. According to that horrible piece of equipment I have lost .7 lbs in a week. I know it's just a number but to me it's a slightly frustrating number. I feel like I have worked so hard and followed the program to the letter and for that not to reflect on the scale is disappointing. I expected more, especially after so many people have commented on the changes they can see in me. Now, I'm trying very hard not to let it get to me because I do know that the weight loss will come in time if I am faithful to what I am doing. It's just that nagging little voice in the back of my brain that says, "Ah man... I was hoping for 3 lbs." Just need to remind the little voice that this is NOT the Biggest Loser and I'm not going to see 15+ lbs lost in a week.
         For dinner tonight we had that low calorie Chinese dinner I looked up yesterday and let me tell you it was tasty! A lot of people have this mindset that when you say something is low calorie it either means it does not fill you up or it doesn't taste good. Let me tell you how big of a misconception that is. That chicken tonight was delicious! It really did taste like a homemade version of something you would find in a Chinese restaurant. There were no leftovers and that is a great compliment to the food.

Speedy Delivery:

          I checked on the status of my new Polar FT7 this afternoon and it's already in Idaho! I show it shipped on Friday so it went from Kentucky to Idaho in 2 days. Way to go US Postal Service! With any luck this will be delivered tomorrow by the time I get home from work so I can use it for my Tuesday morning workout. Provided this gadget works as promised I will be able to tell exactly how many calories I am burning per Insanity workout.
