Day 1

So here I am on day 1. I have decided to make Wednesday my weigh in day. I will try to post once a week and track my weight loss. Maybe more if I need to pep talk myself.

This morning when I weighed myself I was at 161.6

I am going to try to only weigh myself once a week, but I just can't keep away from the scale sometimes.

This is technically day 2 of this leg of my weight journey, but for the sake of posting I'm counting today as the first. Yesterday I ate healthy all day, and even resisted the container of cookies sitting on the table (cookies are my weakness). I drank... almost enough water, and went running for about 45 minutes. Today my legs are sore and I feel bloated. I did drink a can of diet coke yesterday and today, but I drank my last one today, so no more! I am 33 ounces away from a gallon of water today, and none of the other restricted items have entered my body, and I'm about to go work out now. So far I feel I'm doing good! I'm feeling really motivated and encouraged. Let's hope this determination stays.

I'm always trying to find quick fixes and easy solutions to lose weight, as I'm sure almost everyone is, but the hard truth is that diet and exercise really are the best way. I'm just super impatient. I know that this works though. I just have to make it a lifestyle again. I'm feeling good!
