One week down

Well I stepped on the scale this AM and this is what I saw: 206.7!  That is 4.7 pounds.  I'll take it!  Small wins occurred throughout the week:
  • Not eating popcorn at the movie with Ryan and Henry
  • Getting my behind back in the gym.  Goal: Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat
  • Not eating the chips and salsa at dinner with my girlfriends
  • Drastically increasing my water consumption and reducing my diet soda consumption
  • Climbing stairs at work with my friend
  • Avoiding the candy jar at work and bringing my lunch with me
  • Discovering Green Monster Smoothies - delicious!
I am sure there are more but those are a handful I feel good about that I can remember off the top of my head.  This morning was a first for me in a long time - went to the gym at 5:15am to get my exercise in before I started the day.  I still need to figure out the whole 'food in my belly so I don't feel faint' thing but I'm sure I will get there.  Just happy to be making the gym a priority after not making it a priority for a very long time - too long!

yay! way to go! I get those Jillian Michaels emails and she always gives a tip on how to keep on the "healthy" track and one of the things she mentioned last week was pick one unhealthy thing and start weaning yourself off of it...like no diet soda for a week...I was like...start small with a week? How about going one day without it???!!! :) Baby steps! :) I need to wean myself of diet soda. I am down to about one a day but then I drink coffee in the morning as a substitute. That's probably NOT good. Love your blog. :)
