Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day. Thank God for me it wasn't. On this lovely cold chilling morning, I woke up, headed for the shower, but before doing so, jumped on my scale to do my weigh in. My scale only goes up to 504 pounds, so for the past few weeks, I was only able to weigh myself at the clinic. Until Today. 498.5 pounds. You should have seen the look on my face. I have to admit, I was estatic. Not estatic for the weight loss or the fact that I can actually weigh myself at home again, just happy at the fact, that whatever I am doing right now is working, and most of all, I am sticking to my plan this time. I know it's only 2 weeks, but 2 weeks is better than nothing. Right now, 2 weeks is better than anything I have done in over 4 years.
Now it's ok to be happy, but I haven't really done anything yet. I have lost over 20 pounds since the beginning of the month, and you know what, I can gain back all 20 in 4 or 5 day if i don't watch myself.
I just keep reminding myself of my favorite rules, that I will be noting here from time to time.
1. Eat less ( 10 to 15% less)
2. Choose wisely
3. Be active
4. Stay mentally strong.
They really do work you know. Especially the eating less and choosing wisely part. It's a no brainer and I challenge anything looking to lose weight to try it. You can go wrong. The only thing for me now is to step up the be active part. I haven't done much activity this month, I have been really sick with cold and cough, so it's taken away from exercise. I am feeling better each day now and this cold is almost gone.
