Week 1!

So the first thing that I did this morning (besides wondering why the heck I was up at 8 am on a Saturday . . . ) was weigh myself.  Good news people!  I was down 5.4 pounds!!!  Wooohoooo!!!

I attribute this change to two things.  First, I went from a very sedative lifestyle to a semi-active one.  Going from working out never in a week to 2 or 3 times a week makes a big difference.  The second thing is watching what I eat.  I've cut my breakfast and lunch portions nearly in half, while eating a healthier dinner.  (Sometimes.)

I was not perfect this week, and I will dare to say that I probably never will be.  But it is encouraging to see those kind of numbers after just one week.

  1. Yay! Way to go Mindy!
    You are so awesome. I had a similar bad time at the doctor last week and I am also going to try to make this a year of weights loss. I think I will try your reward idea. Thanks
    P.S. I am way to chickeny to do a blog like this, so thank you for being brave and a wonderful example. I can't wait to read more.

  2. Thanks Liz! It's the only way I could figure to keep myself accountable (besides joining WW again, and I don't have the money for that. . . ).
