Yesterday began my 6th week on my new lifestyle change, and I have to say it is getting easier. Using the LostIt! app really helps. I think about everything I am eating. I ask myself if I am really hungry or just bored or thirsty or if I really want to "spend" 100 calories on empty calories.
Exercise is becomming addictive too. I am wanting to move all the time, and there are so many things I want to try. I have started the Couch to 5K program and started attending spinning classes. What great workouts!!!
I need to get a tape measure so that I can take my measurements, that is my goal for this week. I have lost 16.2 in those 5 weeks, and that includes a week where I stepped up my exercise and gained 4 pounds back. They are gone now and 2 more with it.
I know the rate of loss will not continue, but I am happy with my results now. I am not feeling deprived in any way, and I know that as long as I am honest with myself, and continue to do what I have been doing, I will get the results I am looking for. This coming Christmas I will have one more reason to celebrate. I will have met my goal and will be much healthier and thus much happier because I will finally be the Mom and wife I have always wanted to be, and the one I see in the mirror every day!!!
