Day 10 and first formal weigh-in of Operation Equinox and I am incredulous!! My weight has dropped by a paltry 2lb. I'm finding it very hard to understand as the calorie reduction has been so drastic. I am clearly burning fat but nothing like at the rate I was expecting for such a big calorie reduction.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I am however no less determined that my current diet will be my lifelong diet from now on. If I persist, my weight must inevitably keep going down. My body is "hanging-on" to what I've eaten - I'm much less "regular" and what's produced is harder to "do" and is much more solid. I am sure that metabolism has also slowed. All the same, I must be burning more than I'm consuming.
If by Day 30 I'm still only dribbling off pounds then I will consider getting even more drastic. Right now it may be that the body is retaining more water. I shall press on with the current regime and see what happens.

9. ZEN WISDOM
When we have the attitude that each moment of each day, each gesture and step we take, is truly mystical and full of wonder, we will live our lives with greater thought and care. We will also have greater respect and appreciation for the lives of others.
