I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the usual thread for the journal entries. If it is somewhere, tell me!

However, I need to post my journal entries - at least this first week back - as a way to be accountable. Hope ya'll don't mind!

Long day at church with back-to-back programs beginning at 4:00pm, so frozen dinner only good option for dinner. I think I'm going to purchase a lot of chicken breasts, grill, and store either in freezer or fridge for a quick protien option.

I'm actually looking forward to getting started and getting week one under my belt! Hopefully, that belt will be much looser at the end of the week!

Hi Heather,

Yes I was told that the next time I would move down when I get to 175 I would lose a V and I thought she said the portion sizes were a little smaller. I'm getting ready to go into the COD so I could ask again.

Hope things turn around for you soon I know it can get a little frustrating. I think I would be concerned getting to my goal weight of 180 by June 18th if the exercising more slows the weight loss down. I weighed this AM and of course the scale shows 200.2 I new I got to excited seeing 199.8 yesterday. I think my system is testing me to see if I will also stay POP over the weekend I'll catch up more in the other thread later.

I just got back from the center and they did confirm it is 1 less veggie and less portions sizes, but she didn't go into it since I am quite aways from moving down. Hope that helps.

Thanks for asking Barb - Do you ladies think I should move or just stick with gold?? Someone on the other thread mentioned maybe moving to red or maybe purple? Shennie - any thoughts? I'm really only doing around 4 hours / week on the weight training and cardio.....
