Well it is the end of the first week of my getting on track and getting healthy.
It does not compare to the first time I lost weight...like 6 or more lbs in a week...but I am happy and feel I am doing it the right way and since my exercising has been limited somewhat...not bad.
I lost 2.6 lbs this week. Down to 229.6 lbs. and I lost 2 1/2 inches. 1 from my boobs , 1 from my waist and 1/2 from my thigh. So pretty successful week.
I got up and did 30 minutes of mild exericse and stretching. Gets the blood flowing a bit more.
Yesterday, an ok day with eating. Hard to eat on the road. I had a luna bar and skim milk for breakfast, 3/4 of a 6 inch sub and 5 cheetos (oops) and then I had for supper (bad place to eat) a hamburger with all the vegetables at Culvers and 1/2 of my fries and ice tea. That is all I had to eat. I am sure not enough calories or a healthy diet but didn't feel stuffed or anything.
Well on to the secon week. Wish me luck.
Very good job for your first week. I agree that even though it might not be coming off as fast as the first time around, taking it slow and easy is awesome. You are doing a good job Mom! Way to be proud of yourself. You should be! I am proud of you too for getting back on track. :) 2 1/2 pounds in a week is a great start!
ReplyDeletemy estimate for calories is 1225-1300 so you got plenty especially since you were sitting most of the day. I am sure you know this but nutritional information is available online for most every fast food restaurant. When i was losing weight, I printed off the nutritional info and just had a pile of it. That way I could make informed decisions....also stuff isn't as tempting if you know how many calories are really in it.
ReplyDeleteI personally think 2.6 lbs is excellent. Keep it up!
