Week #2
This morning the scale read 223. Not bad. I lost 2 pounds since last week. I would have loved to hit 220 but we would all love to lose weight faster.
I ate out a lot this past week, but I ate sensibly. Mostly water for my drinks at dinner and I chose the most sensible thing that I could. Yet, I did not sacrifice my lifestyle. I enjoy going out to dinner with friends (or lunch) and one of my friends had a birthday party this past weekend and I enjoyed myself there. I admit, this is one day where I know with 100% certainty that my calories were well beyond my limit, but I just decided to pick it up the next day.
I exercised only 3 times, I think. My memory is fuzzy about that. It was atleast 3, possibly 4…. but probably 3. Between all these factors, I know exactly why I lost less weight. But that’s fine because I am still moving along and I know I am going to succeed. I am not discouraged at all. I am very excited to lose this weight.
I ran outside for the first time yesterday, and it was SOOOO much harder than the treadmill. I ran with Eric, actually. We got through a mile without stopping and then did intervals of walking and running for the rest of the time.
That’s my update! I will let you know what happens this next week!
Good job Ellen. Sounds as you had a very positive, balanced week!! That is what long term weight loss is about. Keep it up.
