On to Day 2. I did it. I stepped on the scale this morning. Pre breakfast, post pee. My scale is actually 5 lbs off so I always have to add 5 lbs to whatever number my scale comes up with. My scale read 149 which means I weigh 154. Officially that is only 4 pounds over the recommended weight for my height. Doable. Totally doable. I can do this. Ideally I would like to lose 20-25 pounds. Even 14 pounds would be better than where I am now. So here I go on to day 2.
My goals for today are simple:
1). Step on the scale (accomplished).
2). No binging. Eat reasonably
3). No eating at my friend's house. I am going to babysit for a friend of mine today and I know where she keeps her not-so-secret stash of candy. Usually stocked with M&Ms, one of my weaknesses. Usually I end up in a binge at her house eating more than my fair share of chocolate goodness. My goal is to not eat at her house while I am there today. At all.
4). I should add on here to go grocery shopping, but I don't know if I want to solidify this one onto a list. But looks like I just did. OK, Grocery Shopping is officially on this list. Man, how I HATE grocery shopping......
I'm afraid my activity goals for this week may not be achieved. Its a busy week with lots of work days which makes squeezing in additional exercise a little difficult. But I am not giving up all hope yet. Besides, if I can just work on my eating habits, I'll be doing something that is even more successful for me than exercising since I generally do a decent amount of exercise.
Alright, stay tuned for Day 2 updates. My new favorite thing to do is to update my blog on my progress throughout the day, and I think this has been one of my most favorite tools of accountability. It was pure brilliance to make blogging a tool for my weight loss. Brilliance I tell you!
