Weigh in today was 283, which is down 1 pound for the week, and 8.8 pounds total. So far I've lost at a rate of about 1.6 lbs per week. I'd like<\/i> to lose faster, but I'm just delighted that I'm losing at all. Especially considering the somewhat halfassed way I've been doing this.<\/p>\n
Portion sizes: I'm doing pretty well on this part. The times I have larger portion sizes, I'm aware of it and I count it. I've found that reasonable portion sizes really aren't that bad at all! I used to always get a foot long sub at Subway – now, I get the six inch, and it truly is enough. Tuesday after the WW meeting is my Subway day. Five points and so yummy.<\/p>\n
Water: I need to get more consistent about water intake. Half the time I'm fine, the other half I forget to drink water at all. I think if I get more consistent about drinking all<\/i> the water I'll see better results.<\/p>\n
Exercise: Ahem. Next?<\/p>\n
Vegetables: I need to eat more. My favorites, natch, are the starchy ones: potatoes and corn. But I've been eating green beans with dinner for the most part. I'm really picky about vegetables, unfortunately.<\/p>\n
Fruit: I need to eat more. Why I don't, I really don't know. It's not that I don't like<\/i> fruit, I just don't seem to ever eat any!<\/p>\n
Milk: I'm actually drinking at least 1 glass a day, and even 2! This is very<\/i> new for me, as I don't really like milk. I'm finding that I don't mind it so much these days. I don't know if that's a function of tastes changing, or that I'm actually determined about this whole weight loss thing.<\/p>\n
Bubbly sugar water: I've only had about 3 or 4 real sodas these past 37 days, and I've been pretty good about not drinking diet soda (Pepsi One) like water. I'd like to drink water like, er, water.<\/p>\n
Challenges: Aside from the whole more water\/more veggies & fruit\/less carbs deal, my biggest challenge is eating my target point value, and eating throughout the day rather than not eating until 2 pm or so.<\/p>\n
Goals: I have two goals right now – my first 10% which I expect to hit in January, and I will lose 15 pounds by Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
