Day 15

Today I will not eat junk. Today I will focus on my goals. Today is a new day, and I can do this.

Scale Tales - Week Two

Well, I gained a pound this week for a total weight loss to date of two pounds. :( Last week was not good. I am trying to get back on track this week. I will not quit. I can do it.

Scale Tales - Week One

During Week One of my challenge, I:

Lost 3 lbs!!!!

I am very happy with my progress so far, especially since I normally gain 2 lbs the week before my "that time of the month." So if I keep it up, I might actually show a greater loss next week.

I did not exercise much last week, and I did splurge a little on Sunday. I'm glad it didn't hurt me too badly.

On to Week TWO!!

Day 7 - Back on track!

So yesterday I kinda splurged a little bit. We went to my in-laws for Father's Day and had a wonderful meal of steak, corn, and sweet potatoes. I did limit my portions, so I was proud of myself for that. And I only had 2 glasses of red wine, no beer! :)

Today I am back on track and still feeling motivated. Tomorrow I will have my first weigh-in. I hope to see some progress.

Day 5

Today is Day 5 of 365 of the challenge, so I am 1.4% done! The first 1% has been going pretty well. Last night we went out to eat and to a movie, so I had to really think things out so I didn't overdo it. For supper, I had boiled crab legs and a Miller lite. At the movie, I had a handful of Raisinette's and a bottle of water. Real exciting, huh? Actually, it wasn't too bad.

Day 3 - Thank God for my husband!

Today, my loving husband packed my breakfast and lunch for me. I had a Power Bar (my old staple) for breakfast, and for lunch it was a flatbread sandwich, applesauce, and fat-free pudding.

This afternoon, I started to get a familiar feeling that usually sends me to the vending machine. I wouldn't call it "hungry" like how I fee between breakfast and lunch, but more, "unsatisfied." Well thank God he packed me an apple, too! I ate that and didn't feel better immediately, but I'm feeling OK now.

I have a meeting to go to tonight, so I will be eating dinner on the run. But I know I will choose something healthy. I'm on a roll!

Day 2

Day One went really well. Other than not exercising, of course. I really watched what I ate, and I'm proud to say that I didn't eat anthing after 6:00 even though I was SOOOO tempted.

I had oatmeal for breakfast today and brough the other half of a Subway sandwich for lunch.

I plan to exercise tonight, either by walking or cleaning house.
