Week 1 and 2 Check-In

Week 1: The Beginning

Scale Movement: 

I lost 5 lbs. 

Non-Scale Victories:

• I went to the gym 6 out of 7 days.  
• I drank at least 64 ounces of water a day.  Some days I drank wayyy more. 
• I logged every calorie/carb/fat gram/gram of protein I ate.
• I resisted the cute little children fundraising with junkfood for their swim team at our gym.  
• Instead of turning to food, I turned to the gym or talked about my stress.
• I am now caffeine free. 
• My insomnia has disappeared.  I do wake up for about an hour in the middle of the night every night though.  Not sure what that is about, but I've started using that time as my quiet time with God and for prayer.

Goals for this next week: 

• I want to go to the gym 6 days.
• Continue to log every calorie I eat.
• Try one new recipe.  Things are starting to get old fast.  ;) 
• Set up a visual aid for my progress. 

Week 2: Crash

Last week's goals:

I want to go to the gym 6 days. -Only made three.

Continue to log every calorie I eat. - Did for three days.

Try one new recipe. Things are starting to get old fast. ;) - Actually did two!

Set up a visual aid for my progress.- Not yet.   

Scale Movement:

I lost 2 more pounds.  Total loss: 7 lbs

Non-Scale Victories:

• While dealing with Solomon's croup we didn't go hog wild with emotional/convenience eating.  I did gain a bit of last week's loss back and then relost that PLUS two pounds.  So not too bad. 
• I got back with the program on Monday.  Over the weekend we were still dealing with alot of sickness and mentally processing what just happened.  So I started fresh on Monday. 
• I went to the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.   
• I drank at least 64 ounces of water a day. Some days I drank wayyy more.
• I logged every calorie/carb/fat gram/gram of protein I ate from Monday on.   
• Instead of turning to food, I turned to the gym or talked about my stress.  This week, I was blindsided by working on our taxes and looking over reciepts from Annalise's failed adoption.  Instead of eating my disappointment and sadness, I went to the gym and lifted weights. 
• I am now caffeine free... again.  I went back to caffeine when I was in the hospital with Solomon.  (Hellooo?  45 minutes sleep one night between staying up with Solomon and pumping like a dairy cow.)

Goals for this next week:

• I want to go to the gym 4 days.
• Continue to log every calorie I eat.   
• Find a breakfast I am happy with, since we think Isaiah is having issues with the eggs I was eating every morning. 

We have alot going on this next week so I need to be realistic.

Thank you for your support!
