Ok, so the first month was all about being virtuous - not eating anything I shouldn't be eating, giving up the majority of the junk, sugar, french fries, milkshakes... And it worked well for me. Eating more fruit, tripling my salad intake, beginning to do a little exercise... It was working.
This new month seems to be all about trying to avoid temptation - and for the most part not doing very well with it! I'm doing ok on the exercise thing - I rode to work yesterday after my break (i.e., I only did 2 of the possible 4 miles), and again this evening, so that's good. Although the fashion statement I made on my way home - dressed in bright yellow coveralls & a bright yellow jacket over my jeans, t-shirt & sweatshirt jacket - was definitely a sight to behold!!!
But oh, I could about eat everything and anything in sight - in fact, yesterday I gave in and had both a twix (230 calories all on its own!) AND a cup of hot chocolate - hence why I biked back to work my break! Plus eating in the evenings - lots of fruit, a bowl of popcorn yesterday evening, a Fiber One bar tonight... The first week of this new month is over, and the weigh in was neutral for me - I didn't lose anything, but I didn't gain anything either, which was the saving grace of the weigh-in!
So we shall see... I fear I shall be paying a fair penny next Thursday into our Heifer account. Not sure what to do next to continue losing weight. The first 11.5 lbs went fairly easy. Now the real work begins! I think I need to up my exercise program - definitely time to get out that Biggest Loser Workout DVD Eileen lent me - and to ramp up my willpower to not eat the wrong things!
