Week 1 is over and the results are this: I did OK. Not the best, but I am very OK with how I did. The good: my calories were in check during the week and I went over on the weekend by a bit. I didn't even track my Saturday which definitely included a couple of cupcakes (friggin wedding shower!). If it hadn't have been for my choice to go for the specialty cupcakes, I would have been close to perfect! SO...I guess that makes me feel like I am not a total failure. I just need to tighten up my resolve. Those cupcakes were worth it though HA! More good? I exercises EVERYDAY, not as long each session as I wanted or planned to, but daily and vigorously. I even have really improved my jogging endurance. I made it 25 minutes today outside as the sunset and I think if I had really wanted to push myself I could have went 30 minutes or even more. I don't want to overdo the jog though, and end up injured or too sore to keep it up all week. SO, to stay positive I want to emphasize to myself what I will do this week to continue making progress.
1. Healthy food choices, stick to 1500 calories, please?
2. Continue the daily exercise and jog 25 minutes every other day.
3. Stay upbeat. Stay positive. SMILE. Be nice to people and laugh as often as possible. Enjoy life.
4. Sleep at least 7 hours a night, that will help the stress.

Oh I forgot to mention...I didn't eat after 8:00 ALL WEEK. A breakthrough!!!! I did on Saturday night though. Oh well. I am ok with that. HOORAY!

Yucky. Today wasn't quite as stellar. I didn't totally fail, but it just wasn't the showing I've had the first part of the week. I weighed self today and self hadn't lost weight, which is FINE, considering I did drop a quick 5 lbs just from SOMETHING good I did, what I am not sure...I ate a little extra today, but I think I'm going in the right direction with food choices, kind of? I know what to do, I know what to eat, I know what NOT to eat and I pretty much know what NOT to do...it's really that discipline thing. Just the making your mind of to DO IT. Well, I would say that the thing that I most disappointed in with myself is that I allowed food after 8pm. I just ate two serving of cup a soup...very light, probably not going to devastate my efforts too much (salty though), but mostly its the thing where I want to get into the habit of not eating at night. It's really, really my pitfall overall. I think if I could CHANGE that habit, I would automatically lose weight without even doing anything else since I eat 1/4 of my days calories usually after that time...but it's usually all extra food on top of already meeting my daily. Tomorrow will be a better day. I will keep it to 1500 and I will try to work out in the morning and evening. For good measure.

Day #2 down. It was another rockstar day for following the plan. No slip-ups, no temptations...I still need to work on choosing better quality foods, but for now, I am happy with what I've accomplished this week. I am right now listening to a weight loss CD. It's interesting, here's are a few good quotes,

"You need to want the weight loss and the new healthy you as much you'd want air if submerged in water for a long time"

"Everything is a CHOICE. Stop blaming. It's not the cake's fault. And it's not your mother in laws fault. It's a choice YOU are making. And you can change those choices anytime you want to reach your goal. Everything that goes into your mouth should be helping you reach your goal. Is this food helping me reach my goal?"

"Belief is so powerful it can change the genes."
"Beliefs are more powerful than we realize. They can change to allow for perfect body weight as we make changes in our environment"
