Progress Report

I can not tell you how many times I got all hyped up to get something going....and fizzled out in the first couple of days.  Well, not this time.  I made it through the first week - not a perfect week but I didn't give up and I kept my focus!  

Let's start with the pros:
■ Got out and walked 5 times this week!  No less than three laps per outing
■ Consciously made some wise eating choices
■ Barely had any soda (only when I was getting a headache and felt I may need a caffiene boost) - but drank almost ALL water
■ Didn't quit!!

Now the cons:
■ Still need to work on my meal planning!
■ Two people brought in donuts for the entire accounting department ---- by the end of the day I had eaten THREE donuts....I felt really guilty about it for a while - then made myself snap out of it
■ Missed my walking goal of 18 laps by two laps.  I was planning on walking five laps on Sunday night....but after 2.5 laps it hit me that I was not immune to the nasty stomach bug Emily and David had.  I barely was able to finish that lap....NOT FUN!

End result of my first week: -7 lbs!  WOOOHOO!!  I have a long way to go but I am at least 7 lbs closer than I was when I started!

I have not gotten the pictures back from our photographer for my official "Before" picture...but I did take a quick picture of David and I this weekend after Emily's Christmas performance.  

Much Love,
Heather
