It's Working!

Since I started January 6th, I have lost 7 pounds.  I am very happy to say that my weight has been going down each day!  So, why is it going down?  What makes this time different?

Well, I do have to say, that the pressure of having to go and "weigh in" is gone.  Sometimes I felt that if I ate something unhealthy, I would just give up because it was going to be bad anyway.  I know it is just a number.  I know my health coach was not judging me.  I was giving myself an excuse to just give up.

I have been planning my meals, and making sure I have what I need to eat.  I ran out of extend bars, which is slight problem, but I have been doing ok.  I have been alternating lunches with ff greek yogurt, raspberries, and almonds, with a big salad.  This way, I have something that is quick to put together, and I can make sure I will stay on plan.

Another thing that is huge, is that I have been making it my own.  I am not keeping carbs out of my diet totally.  If I go out to eat and I have a roll, I am not going to say, forget it and eat a bunch of crap as well.  It is all about finding balance.  Making this work for me, so I can change my eating habits and make this a lifelong healthy lifestyle.
