Weekly Weigh In

Well, I'm happy to report that I'm 2012 starting this healthier me journey on a good weight loss note!

Week One Stats:

This weeks loss= 9.5 lbs

Total loss= 9.5lbs

I'm very excited about this. I know it was just my first week and most of it was water weight. But seeing the number on the scale is just the kind of motivation I need to keep going on this journey. It took so much willpower to not stop at Sonic and grab a burger or snack at night after dinner when I get the munchies. And I did have a couple of cookies on Sunday, but not the whole box like I might have before. Week one is down and I don't want to turn back.

This Week's Changes


Right now I am doing a 17 day diet, which is a diet set up in phases. I'm only participating in the first phase to get the sugars and toxins out of my body. After this, I plan on joining Weight Watchers again since I lost 30 pounds on it last year before I got pregnant. In this phase of the 17 day diet, it is about eating lean protein and lots of green veggies. I have been much more aware of everything that I am putting in my mouth.

Another thing that has changed is I haven't eaten out in a week. A full week + 1 day. So abnormal for us, since we typically can eat out 4-5 times A WEEK. We have been making things like baked chicken with green beans. Cajun Tilapia with broccoli. Homemade Chicken Stir Fry with lite soy sauce. Chicken Fajitas with a lettuce wrap instead of tortillas. It's all so good, good for us and easier on the budget.

This Week's Goals:

My goal this week is organization. A key for me to not binge is to have my lunch packed and my dinner planned. When I don't know what I'm going to have, I'm more likely to make excuses and eat whatever I want. And probably a lot of it.

Do you have any tips on how to stay organized?
