Week 6 Update

I'm a little behind this week - did weigh myself Wednesday morning but had not had time to sit down and write a quick post. The week went well with a few bumps but handles them well.

Week 6 - 2 lbs lost
Total - 5 lbs lost
May 1st Goal - 12 lbs to go

Continuing same goals this week - watch portions, drink at least 48 oz water and increase activity (hopefully it will quit raining soon)

Have a great week,
Mary

True Confessions

Time to confess and move on. Its been hard to focus on my goal and I strayed not to far but far enough to put back on 3 pounds over the past 10 days. It is so hard to loose but boy does it find you fast.

Week 4 & 5 - + 3 pounds
Total - 3 pounds lost

Time to get going again and focus on the basics. Get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, watch portion sizes and increase activity level and post much more often.

I need not look at the long journey ahead but smaller goals to achieve.

So here is my 1st goal - Loose 14lbs by May 1st

Wish me luck on staying focused.

Friday Update

Missed my post yesterday - but the day went well. Started the day with high fiber cereal, then onto a lean cuisine veggie pizza, then last evening I made a Low Fat Shrimp and Pasta Skillet.

Easy dish to make - 3/4c fat free Italian Salad Dressing, small onion, 2c mushrooms and quarter artichokes - cook over medium heat for 3 minutes then add 1lb of shrimp and parsley - cook for 2-3 minutes more. Then add cooked liguini pasta (I measured 6oz dry), toss and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

Today is a work day for me and I'm closing - so a pretty easy day to stay on target. Meal plan for today is steel cut oatmeat with dried cranberries/apples and milk - lunch will be a protein drink since I will be driving and then dinner will be a salad and tuna salad problem on triscuits followed up with yogurt. Snack wll be an apple and 2 graham crackers with peanut butter and a steamer to end the day.

On to the day,
Mary

Week 3 Update

OK, week 3 was a little tough towards the end - definitely a stress eater. Had to work this weekend, had to travel through pouring rain Saturday and Sunday until the snow hit - 1 1/2hr to get home on Sunday. Pool cover collapsed and didn't make into work on Monday, etc.

Week 3 results: 1lb gone!
Total: 6lbs gone forever!

Not sure if I should relist my goals but I am going to concentrate this week on portion size and water intake and trying to blog daily updates to keep me focused.

Yep that's what I am going to do.
