Well I made it through week 1 rather successfully if I do say so myself. Week 1 was a "Shrinking Week"! Today I am down 3.6 pounds!! Good bye forever, 300s! I will never ever ever see a 3 on the scale in the first position again! Go me..go me..go me!
I did find the week a bit challenging...especially when it came to crackers and dip (my biggest weakness I think). But even with enjoying that in moderation, the weight has started to slough off of me. I think I have tracking my intake, and starting to move more to thank for that.
I have taken up evening strolls. Nothing too strenuous. Just a gentle stroll through the neighborhood with my family. I found that I need to realize I am not 130 pounds. I can't go for a jog. I can't speed walk around the town. But I will get there, and for now I will stroll - because at least I am moving.
This time is different. I know it is. Normally, after the first week things start to go downhill. I nibble here, nibble there, don't track food...and before you know it, i'm 20 pounds heavier than when I started. Well today somebody brought cookies into work. I did have 2. And that is fine. It is fine because I wanted two more...but those two more are still sitting in the break room...instead of in my stomach! I tracked the two cookies, and have moved on. I am very pleased with myself for that.
