1st 10lbs. goal met!
Thursday, February 28th 2008
I've been sufficiently motivated this week, although I was "coerced" into going to dinner the night before last. I still came within range of my calories, though my entire meal may not have been the best use of my calories. My official weigh-in was yesterday and I've now lost my first 10lbs. - making my February goal. I'm pretty excited, more so because I really feel good about the choices I'm making in my life. I need to strive in everything I do and I everything that I am to glo...Nicht viel neues (Not Much New)

I really had a good weekend. I didn't get as much rest as I would have liked, but it was a successful weekend. I woke up Saturday morning and decided to go over to the pool for an hour. My motivation was two-fold: I actually wanted to go get some exercise (weird, huh
) and I also knew we had a standing dinner engagement Saturday evening and after church lunch on Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that after logging all my food, I came within cal range and was pretty balanced on m...

I was VERY sluggish today. Just couldn't get up enough energy to much of anything. I did, however, want to make sure I got in my exercise, so I did make my exercise goal. My weekends are usually quite busy so I know I don't have too much time to exercise then, so we wwim Mon-Thurs, 40 mins. each evening. I didn't even want to do that. I'm going to chalk it up to pending ovulation. Since we're trying to conceive, I keep pretty good track of my cycles and I feel that I had a hormonal shift ...

I feel like I'm eating all day long. And it's not because I'm hungry, either
. It's funny, I feel like I'm eating too much at 1675 calories, can you imagine how I felt the first week when CK told me I should be eating 2000! With establishing a regular exercise routine it's hard to eat back all my calories. I mean, I know I could eat a cookies (which I did last night 
) or some other high calorie food. But higher calories almost always means higher fat, which makes it hard to keep my dia...

Today was a good day. I did slip in a piece of homemade pound cake (I'm my own worse enemy) and a small scoop of icecream. But I was still motivated to take a walk last night with DH. I'm finding that walking with him has done wonders for our communication. Amid the hustle and bustle of working and commuting (we both drive almost an hour - in seperate directions
) we just don't spend a lot of time together. Plus my MIL is living with us for a while 
LOL. We've been trying to conceive fo...
