WOW I’ve had a great week! Exercise was non-existent but I’m ok with that for right now – it was week ONE after all, and I didn’t want to over do things and get discouraged. Here’s what happened!!!!
1. I PLANNED each meal a DAY in advance and wrote it down!
2. I packed my lunch bag each night, and had my breakfast, lunch & snack for the next day at work in it ~ and it’s such a CUTE bag my DH gave me in my xmas stocking, kind of pink with ‘60s retro flowers on it LOL, very “barbie world” I love it!
3. Drank all the water required (ok this is cheating as I always did that anyway heeheh but I thought I’d take credit for it anyways
Pretty simple stuff – but that’s the first time I ever made that effort, and it paid off!!! I didn’t go off track ONCE, wasn’t temped even, AND I used to walk thru cash like crazy ($6 or $7 at McDonald’s 3 or 4 times a week easy! Not to mention the coffees and muffins for breakfasts! geez) and I have about $35 in my wallet that I’ve NEVER had at the end of the week before! Crazy! and pants that were so uncomfy to sit down in are now fitting fine! I have a pair of "goal" pants hanging over the bedroom door to remind me that i've got a long way to go, don't stop now silly girl!!!
This is the first “on track” weekend coming up, so I’m going to plan for that just as hard! Not an earth-shattering week, but I’m pretty happy with the whole thing
My MELT moment of the week: DH said to me “you can change anything you want on the outside, but don’t ever change anything on the INSIDE” ugh…melt!!!! After 14 years he still makes my knees weak
How are other “newbies” making out?? Planning? What’s working for you all ? what’s not working so great? I downloaded a copy of “walk away the pounds” has anyone tried that??? I’m too embarrassed to walk outside if you can believe it – like everyone would laugh at “look at the fat lady trying to be thin like us” ridiculous LOL
