STAYING OPTIMISTIC

Okay, the results of the bathing suit weigh in are in:  

I lost another pound.  That makes me -7 overall.   

I'm a little disappointed, because I was good all week, except for that one day that I went to the movies.  I have to say that right now, it is hard to go out and be good at the same time.  I was hoping for three, but any loss is better than a gain, so I am happy with it.  I'm still going in the right direction. Thirteen until the first twenty.

The popcorn was still worth it.

DAY ONE...READY, SET...

READY, SET....

I have finally begun, weighed myself this morning, etc.  I did not gain weight over vacation, surprisingly.   I have gotten rid of (or used) all the bad stuff in my refrigerator and pantry.  There are snacks for the kids, but I will not...I repeat...will not be tempted by them.

My plan is to eat less carbs, less sugar, less dairy and more protein, fruit, and veggies.  Beer and wine are only allowed on special occasions (It's the weekend!  does not count as a special occasion).  I will take my vitamins every day, drink more water and exercise.

All in all it was a very good day.  Eggs for breakfast, soup for lunch, and dinner was one serving of pasta with tomato sauce.  I had popcorn for snack later on.  I drank water, took my vitamins and walked for about 20 minutes.  Also did some cleaning at work.

Time for bed.  I made it through day one :)
