Week One

Day 8

This is Veteran's Day, you know the 11th day of the 11th month, and originally the 11th hour. My sincere thank you to all of our service people, both retired and active. I truly appreciate all of the sacrifices you have made so I can live the life I do in a country that is still free.

Ok so I have one week down, of the 21 weeks until my birthday in April. This morning I weighed 190.8 which is 8.2# less than last week. About six weeks ago, I weighed in at 190.2 and immediately ballooned back up to 199. The scale has never been my friend, but I intend not to waste this 8.2# gift I have earned by maintaining the daily calorie count I have chosen. I know that an 8.2# loss in 7 days in not something I can count on every week so this weeks challenge will be not to gain anything back, continue with my daily calorie count, and get to the gym at least 3 times this week.

I have not talked much about physical activity yet but I do work out. Some weeks I get to the gym 4 times and then I might not get there more than once the next week so I have to work on a regular schedule, but exercise has never been my problem, it has always been overeating. But the odd thing is that I eat very, very well. I do lots of fruits and veggies, not a lot of meat, whole grains, etc. But after I eat very healthfully, I eat candy and pastries. I have come the the conclusion that there is not enough candy in the world to satisfy me. Sugar, sugar, lovely sugar. Yuck!!

Anyway that is about all I have to say today.

I can, I will!!
