In just four short days, I have lost four glorious pounds! Count them....1, 2, 3, 4!! I decided to weigh myself today (and will again on Wednesday) just for the hell of it. Glad I did. It was that tiny little reinforcement that I needed to keep on keeping on.
The app for my phone, Myfitnesspal, really makes it easier. It gives you a calorie goal, it counts calories, and you can make informed decisions about what to eat. Last night I had over 300 calories by the end of the night and I wanted a snack. Enough for ice cream if I so chose or enough for a different snack. I opted for a different snack of popcorn and hot cocoa (and I still had calories left over). A week ago, I would have eaten BOTH snacks and then some.
It also helps that half of my work place is now using that same app and we are all acting as cheerleaders for one another. Having a buddy system does help especially when you see everybody else's success: it makes me want to succeed that much more.
Keepin' On.
