Day Seven – First Week in Review

I’m not always going to do this. However, for my first week, I have lost 7 pounds. Yay. However, I think, it has to be water weight. Now the real work happens. 

I fell off the wagon a lot this week. Ate things I shouldn’t have. I had a lot of nighttime food. I ate stuff in emotionally fits. It wasn’t pretty. I didn’t even exercise. So, I now know what I have to change up. 

I need to, instead of eating my feelings, exercise my feelings out. I don’t mean full blown tedious exercise. I have made jokes in the past of ‘dancing out my feelings,’ but that is exercise. I usually put on my favorite fast songs and dance like no one is watching (because no one is…I hope).  Along with the elliptical in the morning, I should start getting my exercise on. 

I have a few challenges coming up this week. I have a retirement party at work that will have cake and drinks. I have a luncheon at work to celebrate Fall. That might be easier because its a menu that looks very light and it will be easy to pick though. The heaviest thing that interests me is the pumpkin ravioli so I can have one or two and feel full. I might have a super light breakfast and dinner on that day too. 

So, yeah. While I sort of downplayed it, I did lose 7 pounds. To think of the positive…my pants do feel looser, and I don’t feel so heavy right now. I hope to keep that feeling going through the next week. 

So…here is to another week! My week two weight loss goal? Two pounds down. Writing it here. Visualizing it. Let’s do it!
