I just figured out that I will have to loose one pound a week for the next 12 months. That to me sounds like a lot! I have never dieted for that amount of time. I know what you’re thinking. “It is supposed to be a way of life, not a diet.” I have heard that many of times. I just can’t seem to give up everything I love for…..well….ever. I can’t help but feel like it’s forever anyway. I am sure once the weight is gone, I will be able to eat what I like again. Of course that is all in moderation. It will definitely be hard but I think I can do it.
After talking with my husband, he encouraged me not to think of it long term and just take it week by week. I think this is good advice. Baby steps right? I got on the scale this morning and I am happy to report I lost 2 pounds. YAY!! I know it isn’t a lot but it makes me happy. I have been working out everyday and keeping a journal. I write down what I eat, drink and how much exercise I do. It not only helps me be accountable but, I think it will help me to look back at what I have accomplished. I think it is a good tool to look back and see what worked and what didn’t too. I would recommend this to a friend anytime!
Bye for today!
