Happy Friday! I weighed in this morning and have lost 4lbs! I'm very happy about it, but I need to remember that I won't lose that much every week since I'm just starting out, and it's normal to lose a lot in the first couple weeks.
I went walking every day this week except yesterday, we usually go a couple miles and I try to jog a little but I'm just not into running unless I'm being chased. I figure it will throw my body off a bit though even if I only do it for a few minutes so hopefully it will help with the weight loss.
Challenges have been lack of sleep which is making me crave a Mountain Dew, it was my crutch during the first month after Melanie came home, and then I stopped caffeine all together to see if it would help make Melanie less fussy. It didn't really work, but I decided to try and keep caffeine out of my diet. However, I may cheat here and there.
Another challenge is the kids, I rarely get to just sit down and eat, I end up scarfing my food down because someone needs me all the time so that is also making it hard to get all my points in before its too late in the day.
My goal for this next week is to try and plan ahead a bit more and take 20 minutes in the morning to enter everything I plan to eat for the day into the WW website so that I can try and be done eating by 7pm. I'd love to lose 2lbs this week, but will be happy with any loss at all.
Overall I'm happy with how the week went and I am feeling positive about the upcoming week & that I'll be able to continue making good decisions. Having Erik home to go with me on walks is awesome, I don't think I'd be going as often if I had to go on my own. I'm also really enjoying trying out new healthier meals, many I'm finding on pinterest which I'm newly obsessed with, so thats helping as well. I will try and post links to some of the things I've made if I can get time. As for now its late, and Melanie is finally asleep so goodnight!
