Day 6...still going strong!

As I come to the end of day six of my first healthy week of the year I am very pleased with my progress. I feel good.  I will weigh in tomorrow- it won't be a full week, but it is easier to weigh in on Sunday than Monday. I will do my measurements tomorrow also so I can track my progress in inches.

I have stayed at or under my calorie range every day but one and I went over by less than 100 calories on that day!  Today I went over by 3 calories.  Pretty good considering that I probably have been eating double my suggested calories on a regular basis. I am looking forward to weigh in tomorrow - I really expect to see a loss. I  worked out for at least 20 minutes four days this week. I need to drink even more water and start adding time to my workouts little by little.  See you tomorrow to let you know the score!!

BTW...Hooray...Ravens won!!!!!

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...
I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds!  I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster.  I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today.  If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me.  Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet.  Exercise is one key ingredient to my success.  Total Gym. here I come!

Weigh in day! One month with SP

Today marks my one month anniversary for being back on track with Sparkpeople and my 49 day on this blog challenge. I lost three pounds! I feel great, eat good food and exercise regularly, but I don't over do it! I look forward to another good week. I am not falling into that trap of 'treating myself' on weigh in days, I have to eat as healthy today as I did every other day. I don't want to eat anything that will impede my weight loss and good health!
