Hello Again

Well, I met all my goals last week. I set up goals at the beginning of the week. I also discovered 2 things:

1. Carb blocker pills may work, but they really mess up the plumbing, which is not cool.
2. If I drink my regular pop before 3PM I am better off.

So, with that in mind, this week I am off the carb pills and drinking my regular pop with lunch instead of supper.

I exceeded my goal for weight loss last week. I had a goal of 3 1/2 lbs and I lost 5 1/2. I also had my period, which as we all know, causes a little weight gain, so those numbers may not be completely real. Some of that may be water weight.

I already messed up this week. I ate McD's for lunch today, so I need to be extra good all week. Tonight is a light supper. I also have not worked out very vigorously this week so far. I took the whole weekend off and I am disappointed about that. I need to start doing something on the weekends no matter how bad I don't want to. I am thinking about doing my walking workouts on the weekend. They are not too hard and I have a few different ones.

Anyway, I am still moving ahead. Having a scale that is correct really helps me stay accountable. I also realize that I know a lot about losing weight. I took this personal trainer quiz - to see if I could be a personal trainer and I got a 97%m which is pretty dang good seeing that I have no formal training. It was all about exercise and diet questions. I have the knowledge, but I just need to put it to work. That is the struggle. I have to learn to say no to my inner voice that tells me to eat and to slack off.
