Okay, completing my first week getting back on track. The weigh-in brought good news. I lost one pound. Fifteen more to go! I think I did very well this week. I worked out twice. I did get some good cardio in. We went this weekend. Walking in the snow is a great workout if you don’t have snowshoes–and especially after you did a workout with a leg emphasis!
I’ve also done well with my choices. When dining out, I did not order a burger and fries. My fare consisted of a salad (dressing on the side) and soup or chili. Those beans are power foods, man! So, I’m pretty proud of myself. On to the next week!
If it were easy, everyone would do it. You won’t know until you get “there” (where ever that is), but when you begin to feel better, have more energy and begin to appreciate your new look — you’ll be hooked. Think of it not as a diet, but a lifestyle change. A “diet” is just a phase which won’t provide you long-term success.
