So! This is the end of my first week. I weighed myself, and measured myself today. The inches were pretty much the same, but I was down FOUR pounds!! That was a great start for me. I don't expect to lose that much every week, but I'm happy for it.
Some ups from this week:
~Going to Japanese and getting teriyaki chicken instead of tempura, which I love.
~Walking with a friend to Dairy Queen and not getting anything.
~Finding that a salad for lunch, with fruit and veggies as afternoon and morning snacks actually does satisfy me.
~Losing FOUR pounds!!
~Exercising four times this week.
~Actually staying on track ALL weekend. A miracle for me.
Some of the tougher parts:
~Headaches the first few days. I joked that my body was detoxing from all the junk I've been putting in for six or so weeks.
~Dealing with hunger, especially before dinner. But willpower has arrived and I've done pretty good.
~Um, saying no to tempura. I highlight at the end, but was hard at the time.
I'm thrilled. I feel healthy and like I'm actually taking care of myself. I think my mini-goal to lose 20 pounds by the end of August is doable, if I keep it up. I already talked to the friend who's house I'm going to this weekend about how I'm eating!
Some numbers for you:
Tuesday 5/30 (day 1): weight 211.6; 1465 calories; 10 glasses water

Wow. Good going GIRL!
I am proud of you for resisting Tempura - I think its yummy too - and you COULD sort of say, "Well, it is VEGGIES?" but that'd be like the Chocolate Covered Bananna incident...
Good job, and way to set yourself up for success by preparing your friend for your new dietary requirements :-)
Paige,
That is AMAZING!!! I know that this is a struggle for you, but I'm thrilled that you did so well this week!
It's so much easier to stay on track when the scales are cooperating. WAY TO GO!!
