My Journey Through Life

Okay, so my actual goal it a little higher than the goal on this blog, but my whole idea was 50 pounds in 50 weeks so here we are....tomorrow will be 17 weeks and I am half way to my goal!!! I only lost 1 pound in the previous two weeks, so this past week I decreased my workout time and voila! 2 pounds down in one week!! I got advice that if anything, I needed to increase my workouts...I knew from what Sparkpeople was telling me and from the amount of calories I was eating that I needed to increase my calories or decrease my workouts. I adjusted the number of minutes that I am working out so it will adjust my alloted calories up a little. 2 pounds a week is great progress, I wouldn't want to lose any more than that (okay, I'd be thrilled if I lost 5 pounds in a week, but I think that is too fast!) I am very happy with my progress...I have lost 25 pounds! I was watching a woman on Oprah the other day talking about how she was so obsessed with other people noticing her weight

Weigh in day is tomorrow and I am sure hoping for a loss. Last week I was feeling bloated and 'gassy'..I think that is a term my mother would use...it sounds funny, but if you have ever felt that way, you know what I mean!! This week I feel much better so a loss would be great! I had a few days last week when I just wanted to eat everything...not feeling that way this week. I even bought some cookies for my mom and didn't eat any when she offered them!! Made a good low calorie supper tonight with lots of veggies...YUM! Still feel like eating and I have some calories left over, so I better get a snack in before it gets too late. I know that eating late doesn't cause you to gain weight, but it effects digestion and I don't need that! Happy Easter!
