- Week

                                                                              301.9

I am still moving down on the scale and that is a great thing!  I am a little nervous about next week since it will be my special time of the month but hopefully any damage will be small.  I am a little late on the weigh in but that is because we were unexpectedly blanketed with snow last friday and I have been at home with the kids since then.  I am so close to my first mini goal that I can barely stand it and it is taking all my will power not to get on the scale everyday to see how I am doing. I have to limit myself or it starts to dictate my moods and what I eat.  So I am a once a week weigh in type of girl. 

Week in evaluation:
1.  Getting better at the whole water thing.  I noticed that I am able to handle more water in the evenings than the mornings so I have adjusted my drinking schedule. 

2.  I discovered that if I eat it really slowly then I can have a piece of turkey sausage for breakfast in the mornings.  This is helpful and also keeps me full until lunch.  I was having a problem with the shakes not keeping me full for as long as solid food does.

3.  Pushing myself harder- I need to get better at pushing myself harder during workouts.  It is so easy to convince myself that once I hit a certain time I can get off instead of going just a little longer to extend the time I am doing cardio.  I am going to start working on that. 

4.  I am getting better at slowing down while I eat but it is still a task that I have to focus on.  I am hoping that over time it will become a more natural thing to chew, take small bites and wait between bites.  That has to be the most frustrating thing so far.

Overall, I am still doing pretty well since the second fill.  I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and even though that kind of loss doesn't last long it was still a great leap off of that plateau that I was stuck on for so long.  I am hoping to keep a 1-2 lbs weekly loss.  I just hope that my period agrees with me.

  1. great job on the weightloss!!
    the chewing is such a big obsticle for me. I always forget until right after I swallow my food and then I sit there and hope that it goes down. It takes a while to get used to.

  3. You are almost down 50 pounds.....so close. I bet that is a good feeling.

    Dont beat yourself up if your period doesn't work with you, remember our bodies usually hold onto water then.

    Keep up the good work (evaluations and all)!
