Week 3, Day 1

I was down 1 lb last week. I know I would only have a small loss due to Aunt Flo and working night shifts. It was really hard for me to keep up with my healthy eating when I was eating at such off hours. Anyway, I still had a loss none the less!

This week am down 1.8 lbs! I am converting back to day mode - and I also had some very trying days with a sick child. I really need to learn how to cope with stress....in a method that doesn't include food!!

When I'm bored, I eat. When I'm sad, I eat. When I'm mad, I eat. When I watch TV, I eat. I have to break my habit. Food is meant for nourishment....not as a companion. Why do I turn to such a nasty, nasty "friend". Junk food is not my friend. What kind of friend would do this to me??? I need to learn to end our friendship.

START Photo

I am going to take a monthly photo. Here is my start photo. I might need to keep looking back for motivation. I should write a list of all the things I see here that I am going to change.

Week 2, Day 1

I am down 4.4 lbs for my first week!!!! OMG!!!!!

I really thought that the amount of calories that fitday.com told me to eat was too much. I was thrilled to not feel like I was starving myself, just felt "AWARE" of what I was putting in my mouth. I charted everything I ate...well almost! LOL There were a few sneak Halloween chocolates. I need to get these out of my house!!!

Day 1 - November 8, 2009

1. I am going to find a program online that I can access from my phone. I'd like to keep track of calories online. I think that might be a good idea for me to start a "visual" of what I am eating. If it's accessable from my cell phone I can imput any time, anyplace.

2. I am going to walk or do some form of physical activity at least 3 times a week.

3. I am going to bring a water bottle with me everywhere. I will drink 2L of water in one day.
