post-poned blues

So today I was supposed to go have blood drawn to measure my cholesterol, triglyceride, and homocysteine levels. For an accurate reading, this requires that one fasts (no food, liquids, or medications) for 9-12 hours prior to the blood draw. And what do I do first thing when I wake up this morning? I ate breakfast!!! So it looks like I'll have to wait and post-pone part of my initial assessment to next Wednesday. Today, does however mark the end of my first four-day win, which involved drinking 64 oz. of water everyday, keeping a day map for each day, and having an eating curfew of 11pm. Sadly, I did not successfully complete this four-day win, since I forgot and ate something after 11 last night as I watched the Duke/UNC men's basketball game. But I did pretty well other than that, and am confident that I will achieve this next four-day win: my eating curfew moves up to 10:30pm, I will be exercising for 30 or more, and I will begin the four weeks of using Judith Beck's the Beck Diet Solution Weight loss Workbook.
