Day 38: I am going on my 6th week of dieting. And each week it is getting a little easier for me. Last week, I had a pretty poor week in regards to my emotional state. I did stay on my diet plan but I only excised one day last week and I seemed to be in a bad mood pretty much every day. But this week, I have been feeling a lot better. I am in a much more positive state. And I am having a great week so far. I have already exercised twice this week and have plans to do more exercising as the week goes on. And I am finally starting to feel small changes in my body. So, that is helping to motivate me.

This week my goals are to:
1. Continue to exercise (At least 6days out of the week).
2. Continue to watch what I eat and how much I eat (Three 300 calorie meals a day and two 150 calorie snacks for a total of 1200 calories a day).
3. Continue to drink water throughout the day (Drink at least 64 oz or more of water a day).
4. Continue to think positive thoughts (Continue to improve my determination and strength).
5. Eat more vegetables.
6. Be patient with my back pain.

My back pain is getting better. It almost feels normal most days and I have been able to reduce my dosage of Aleve, which I am grateful for.

Another thing I want to start to do is each week is to list a reason why I have chosen to change my lifestyle (reasons other than the typical and traditional to get healthier, which I want too). This week my reason is: fit better in the bath tub. Let’s face it, big girls don’t fit so well in a bath tub and I would like to be able to take a long hot relaxing bath and not feel like I am in a sardine can.

In closing, I will leave you with another quote I found on FS that inspires me this week. “Believe in yourself and all that you are. And know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle”. Hope everyone has a great week.

Finally remembered what my 6th goal I wanted to add for this week was.

This week my goals are to:
1. Continue to exercise (At least 4 days out of the week).
2. Continue to watch what I eat and how much I eat (Three 300 calorie meals a day and two 150 calorie snacks for a total of 1200 calories a day).
3. Continue to drink water throughout the day (Drink at least 64 oz of water a day).
4. Continue to think positive thoughts (Continue to improve my determination and strength).
5. Eat more vegetables.
6. Be patient with my back pain.

I am coming to terms that my back pain is not something that is going to go away over night and that it is going to take awhile before my back feels normal again. Still not sure what I did to hurt it but I am taking it day by day. I am still on my Aleve regimen and switching between the heating pad and ice packs throughout the day. Some days it feels better and some days its feels worse. I am just going to learn to be patient with this back pain and hope that it gets better sooner rather than later. And I have also come to the realization that my back pain is not going to hold me back from my exercise plans either. I read on most health sites that continuing to exercise will help your back heal faster than just resting all the time. So that is exactly what I plan to do.

Day 31: I had a great time camping with my family this past Labor Day weekend. I stuck to my diet all but one night when we all went to Sconyers Bar-B-Que in Augusta, GA. But I did exercise while camping. My mom and I walked on the trails in the state park and my little nephew, Eli, kept us pretty busy chasing him around. I did not lose any weight this week, but I also did not gain any weight either. So, I am happy with that. I know that there will be periods of time during my weight loss journey when I don’t lose any weight for a week and that is normal. So, I decided that I am ready for a small change in my diet. I have decided to decrease my caloric intake to about 1200 calories a day by decreasing my two snacks to around 150 calories for each snack. I am still going to aim for three 300 calorie meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition, I have decided to incorporate more vegetables into my diet, which is going to be a hard thing for me since I only like a hand full of vegetables; but I am going to try. Other than that, I am going to kept everything else the same. I am going to “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming” (as I saw on someone else’s post today).

This week my goals are to:
1. Continue to exercise (At least 4 days out of the week).
2. Continue to watch what I eat and how much I eat (Three 300 calorie meals a day and two 150 calorie snacks for a total of 1200 calories a day).
3. Continue to drink water throughout the day (Drink at least 64 oz of water a day).
4. Continue to think positive thoughts (Continue to improve my determination and strength).
5. Eat more vegetables.
6. There was one more goal I wanted to add this week, but I can’t think of it now. Will add it later.
