Okay, after week 1, writing it all down, I lost 7.6 pounds! I am so excited, but don’t want to get ahead of myself. I have the challenge this week of keeping up the momentum. I want to write it all down this week as well, also add at least 1 day of activity. This weekend is my parent’s 30th anniversary party, and between the planning for that and working on testing prep at school, it is going to be busy. I just need to make sure that the healthy options are available and handy. Also I need to make sure that there are easy dinner options this week or fast food will creep in. I am still feeling optimisitic, but with some reservations. I think that it is only normal to feel that way at the beginning of a long journey that has been started many times and abandoned. This time I am working on completing the journey.
