The first month has been quite a journey. First off, it started off really slow. If you recall I took the first week of this off of work so that I could concentrate on becoming healthy.
The first two weeks I was trying to use someone else's plan. This included a meal plan and workout routine. I only lost 1/2 pound those first two weeks. That was enough for me to say, "Screw this! I am doing it my way!" I buckled down these last two weeks and lost 8 1/2 pounds. I really watched what I was eating and began walking every evening.
Today officially the end of my first 4 weeks (month), and today starts my 5th week. I have updated my blog with new photos and measurements to reflect my changes since I started this journey. The pics are embarrassing (I am heavy #1 and no makeup #2). However, it will be nice once I hit my "transformation" to be able to look back at my before pics.
I weighed in at 195 this morning. I am down 3 1/2 lbs from last week and a total of 9 pounds in a month. I have 60 more lbs to go to hit my goal weight of 135. I am dropping the weight but not the inches. This concerns me because I consider true weight loss to be measured in inches lost.
I am going to workout this evening before going to bed. Admittedly, I am so tired from this weekend that exercise feels like "work". However, I know that eating less will not get me the results I am looking for. I need the exercise to tone my body and mold it along the way.
I hope everyone else is doing good on their weight loss journey. As always....Good Luck & Stay Healthy!!
