Lynn's Week 1 Review

This week I weighed in at 226.8, I weighed in on Monday because I forgot to on Sunday. Last Sunday I was 230.9.

I went to the gym twice at the beginning of the week. I kept meaning to go later in the week, but didn't. This week I hope to do better about committing to the gym and making it a priority even if things are crazy around the house. (i.e.-two teething one year olds)

As far as my eating habits last week, I feel that I did much better than I was before deciding to lose weight. I was conscious of what I was putting in my mouth and made an effort to pick healthier choices. I did slip up some, there was about a 24 hour period where I ate like crap. Normally when I eat bad, I will just say "screw it" and make the decision to start my diet over the next day or the following Monday. This time, I realized where my eating habits were going and starting eating better with my next meal. I'm trying to get out of that "all or nothing mentality"

Another thing that I worked on last week was cutting out that glass (or bottle) of wine or mixed drink in the evenings. It used to be something for the weekends, and then it kinda turned into something to do to relax at the end of the day and alcohol has a lot of empty calories!! Those drinks add up, and I'm also more likely to eat bad when I'm drinking and less likely to go to the gym the next day if I've been drinking at all. So, last week, I replaced my alcoholic drink with hot cocoa. I have to have something to sip on in the evenings and usually I need a snack, I hope to eventually get out of that habit, but for now, I'm just trying to replace my bad choices with good choices. This week, I hope to drink hot tea in the evenings instead of hot cocoa. (or switch to fat free cocoa)

That's pretty much how my week went.
