So far this year...
Beginning on January 2nd, I renewed my efforts at
weight loss. I started cutting out many carbohydrates (including white bread and
potatoes). You would be shocked at how much bread and potatoes was a staple of
my diet! But I have successfully avoided them for over two weeks
now!
I started out this year with the goal of losing 52
lbs this year. So far, I have far surpassed my expectations!
TWO WEEKS WEIGH IN: 5 lbs lost!
STRUGGLES & CHALLENGES:
There are two major challenges that I have
faced...
The first, is that it is expensive to eat fruits
and veggies! It is going to have to become a priority for me to figure out how
to save money in this area or my family is going to go broke.
The second is that it has gotten more and more
difficult to talk myself into exercising. Mind you, I am only walking the dog at
this point and I always feel great after, but the time that it takes and the
lack of daylight hours do not help excite me for the journey.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- I have actually gotten out to walk three times a week, which is currently my goal.
- I have maintained a reduced carb diet.
- I tracked my food.
MILESTONES:
I have lost my first 5 lbs.
REVELATIONS:
I finally understand that being healthy is a
choice.
NEXT WEEKS GOALS:
- Lose 1 lb.
- Walk the dog three days.
- Spend 20 minutes on the elliptical.
- Track my food everyday
- Weigh myself only twice
