Well....I've definitely had some ups and downs my first week of really, really trying....but all in all, I'm quite proud of myself (as I pat myself on the shoulder)! I lost 4.5 lbs. Even though I know that it's probably all water weight, I don't care! I can say "I LOST 4.5 LBS!!!!!"
I made it to the gym twice this week. That's twice more than in the last month. I did an hour of cardio on Monday and then today I did an hour of weights. I know I should've gone more, but my "excuse" is that we had a major heatwave here and it was too hot to go to the gym. But now, the heatwave has broken so I have no more excuses...
Foodwise....I could've done better....but I've also done a lot worse! I cheated on Sunday when my husband brought home Ben & Jerry's. One for me & one for him. So I made him share his with me Sunday night and then on Monday I ate maybe half of mine and then let my son eat the rest. Not good, but considering that in the past I would eat one by myself no problem, I am quite proud of myself! I also only had ONE Dunkin Donuts coffee....and that was Sunday as well. And then yesterday I met an old friend at the mall and we started out at Starbucks...at least my dirty chai was nonfat. But I don't think the half of a brownie with M&M's was. And we won't even talk about what I ate at Friendly's!
But all in all.....3 bad days and 4 good days is a definite improvement over 7 bad days!!!! Now let's see if I can do 2 bad days and 4 good days next week!
The point of this blog is to put my attempt at losing weight out for the world to see. I’m hoping that by being painfully honest in my attempt, from the good days to the bad days, that I’ll be successful. This blog will be my diary but it won’t be private. My entries might be in spurts. Every time I cheat or go to the gym, you’ll hear about it. I no longer have any excuses. I’m going to make mini goals & give myself rewards. And if you want, you can be a part of this journey with me!
