Weight at one week- 230.8#
Pounds lost- 7.2!
I couldn't wait to jump out of bed (OK, I might be taking a bit of artistic license here as I rarely actually jump), but in any case I was anxious to check my weight this morning. The result; I still weigh a lot, but I weigh a good bit less.
As I bask in this success, it is hard not to be daunted by the larger number remaining, but I'm determined to be happy in the moment; one moment at a time, one hour, one day, one week, one month. This is substance abuse that we're dealing with, and the recommended behavioral interventions are very similar. Set reasonable, short-term goals, and only worry about what's immediately in front of you.
My personal goal for the next week? I'd love to see 225#. As a Biggest Loser enthusiast (watch tonight!), I am well aware of the dreaded 'week 2' curse. Drop a lot week one, see it slow down week two. The plan? Just to keep doing as I've been doing, and keep the faith (and resolve).
Have a wonderful day, friends.
Give up self-doubt for lent.
Hi laura, wonderful. Your doing everything right. One day at a time. Xxxooo Aunt Lynda
ReplyDeleteSelf-doubt is a killer. And unfortunately, can be fed my many well-intended people. Week one is terrific, week two will be what it is, good or less-than-hoped-for, and week three will have its own unique character. Whatever the outcome, you will be healthier for your efforts, and that is the primary goal.
ReplyDeleteLove what you're doing, Laura! Looking forward to following your blog.
