Trying to change the blog

So I'm not posting pictures of my food anymore since I made a worksheet to track what I've done. So I'm hoping to start using the blog to talk about my progess and feelings etc. So hopefully I will post often so I can remember this process!

Post Week 1 Summary

So week one is over and week two begins today. Here's a little recap of thoughts, feelings and results.

First item: my weight!

So one thing I'm not sure I like about the game is that is makes me a little obsessive about my weight. I'm trying to remind myself that it is more important that I am getting healthier and making better choices and losing the weight isn't the most important thing. With that said here were my weights this week:

Mar 22 (starting weight) 149.8
Mar 24 148.0
Mar 25 147.8
Mar 26 147.6
Mar 27 148.6- Okay coming back to this later!
Mar 28 148.4
Mar 29 (today) 146.6

Net pounds lost - 3.2
Percentage of weight lost -2.1%

So coming back to Mar 27. This really got me down. This wasn't after a day off or anything. I had eaten properly and exercised, but still gained a full pound in a day. It really got me down. I had worked super hard getting a perfect score all week. So after that was my day off and I lost just a little bit. This is where I really had to have a heart to heart with myself. I know that I want to get down to 135. I think that is a healthy reasonable weight for me. But I also know that I am seeing differences. I can tell my stomach- which is the area I am really unhappy with- is getting smaller. I've had more energy. All that is good. But I of course felt WAY better when I lost that pound and then some this morning! :)

Okay so it's day one. First meal-breakfast. I made

(carb) 1/2 cup oatmeal

(fat) and 8 almonds.

I also had my 1 glass of milk freebie.

So how was the first meal? Umm the milk and almonds were delish! Hehehe. Yeah the oatmeal was edible but barely. I will definately try something else tomorrow!

Before Pictures

Okay so this blog maybe a little graphic! But it is the reality! Here are my before pictures that James so kindly took. I was smiling at first but he says that you aren' allowed to smile in before pictures. So he told me to think fat thoughts! Yeah thanks honey!

I love Biggest Loser and decided that if I really wanted to SEE the results I needed to really SEE the before. So here are my "biggest loser" befores.

Yikes!! Yes this is my TROUBLE spot!! Thanks Sariah and Ben!!
