Confessions
I really don't have any this week, other than the fact that I did not do a lick of exercise! I'm not going to lie - I was a bit disappointed to only see that I am only three pounds down after the first week. I just have to remind myself that it took a while to pile all of this weight on, and that this is a lifestyle change, so I just need to take my time with it. I read on someone else's success story to not give yourself a time table for losing weight - that it's only going to set you up for failure. I thought that was wise.
What Worked for Me
I found lots of foods that are fun & tasty, that I look forward to. That really has helped a lot. And writing down what I have eaten is motivating - it really does help you when you have to put it all down somewhere!
Goals for This Week
I really need to start my exercise plan. My goal for this week is to get on the treadmill three times for at least 20 minutes. It helps so much in curbing my appetite and helping me feel energized the whole day. Hopefully that will help jump start the weight loss, also. I am also going to try and keep better track of my water intake!
Good luck, everyone!!
