Day 2: Numbers

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!
