I posted previously that I had decided to make a few changes and I hate that lil 4~letter word, but DIET. I've never been good with diets before, except for Weight Watchers, years ago. I know WHAT to eat. I just don't DO it. One week ago today, I weighed in at 194 lbs....and 194.6 if we're going to get technical. I was amazed at the response I received and all the support from my readers. You'll never know how much it means to me and I'll be here to support those who have also decided to make their own changes. I was so excited this morning to weigh and see if I had lost anything. Trust me when I say, it would have been my luck to "put myself out there" by posting how much I weigh only to end up losing NOTHING the first week! I woke up this morning and pulled my scales out from under an end table where I keep'em handy. What is it able scales though? Almost everyone that comes over, if they see the scales, they HAVE to weigh. I think it shows just how much that little (or big) number means to us all. So, I weighed....drum roll please....... 191.2 lbs I lost 3 lbs ! I know it ain't much and should have been better but it's a start in the right direction, I hope!
A few of the changes I made last week were: 1. Drink more water! I hardly ever drank water before and it's definitely NOT as good as my RC's, but I know the benefits from drinking the water will far outweigh any pleasure I THINK I'm getting from drinking an RC soda. 2. Cut down on my fave foods but not cut them out entirely. For me it's about portion control and I've found that using a smaller plate at meal time helped me tremendously. There's just something about a regular plate and seeing all that empty space where there's no food because of the portion control, so for me, a smaller plate was the answer to that problem. I know, it's all in my mind but whatever works, right?? 3. MOVE...do something..anything. So, I washed walls this week. It kept me busy plus I'm sure a few calories were burned off in the process. Now next week, I'm not sure what it will be, maybe yard work everyday if the weather is gonna be good. 4. DRINK MORE WATER!! All in all, I'm happy with my 3 lb. weight loss for this week but I'm not going to lie, I was hoping for more but I know I need to "step up the game plan" and add exercise to my daily routine. ( I REALLLLYYYYY need a treadmill or bike!!) But just can't afford one right now. My mom has also been on a diet, we both started our diets at the same time. She weighed in this morning and lost 3 lbs. I'm so proud of her!! As for Hubby, he weighed in this morning also and lost 5 lbs...dang his hide!! I knew he'd lose more so I was ready for it...Men alwayssss lose more than women and it's so not fair. But he did good and I'm proud of him. I'm proud of him but I could also wring his neck right now, cuz, you want to know what I'm faced with tonight?? He just HAD to try out a recipe he seen or concocted on his own... A CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! :( OH Lord, please be with me and keep me from temptation because you KNOW how weak I am!...Amen!! Thanks for stopping by and good luck again to all those who said they were making a change also! Let me know your results next week! Be good and be pretty and as always..... ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
