Well it’s about the end of week 1 of my 21 day challenge. And so far it’s been pretty easy going. I’m pleased to announce that as of my last weight check this week I had lost 2-3 lbs. It’s difficult to tell exaclty how much because I have an analog scale and it is a bit difficult to tell exactly.
The benefits I’ve noticed so far is that I have much more energy during the day. Also, some of the “jiggle” seems to be fading a way.
The best thing I’ve done is go see the dietitian. The simplicity of the plan she provided me is so easy to follow. I’ve even gone out to eat several times this week and I was able to choose meals from the menus that conformed very closely to the 1/2 plate of vegetable, 1/4 of carbohydrates, and 1/4 of protein.
We’ve been so busy this week that I have not had a chance to exercise much. However, I have taken a few walks at lunch time at work.
I’m going to weigh myself on Sunday and see how well I did over the weekend. The weekends up at my mom’s are the most difficutl, because she makes so many of the dishes I LOVE so much from my childhood…I tend to over eat. This weekend we, in addition, we are having a cultisac potluck so there’s some added temptation.
My mini-goal for the next week is to get on my ellipitical at least twice.
How have you done this week?

Wow, was it expensive to see the dietician ??? I am so proud of you with all the stuff you have going on and just the daily ins and outs of working, kids, and the list goes on; let alone being able to put everything aside and still be able to do something for yourself. Impressive.
