Checking In

So, I have been on my weight loss program since last Thursday and I have lost 2.7 pounds! Very exciting indeed!!

There have been a few challenges. It's hard to go to a restaurant and try and find something "healthy" to eat. But, I have done it and have also been at a friend's house for dinner and successfully just said no to pizza. One part of losing weight that is always important is water intake. I seem to have no trouble in that area. Some people don't like it, not sure why.

I do miss my usual coffee routine though. Decaf with no cream is just not as fun! I did try caramel truffle decaf, it was good the first cup... Now don't quote me on this, but, I may just give up the whole coffee thing (is that blasphemy??).

My husband said, and, he's right (not very often mind you...), "losing weight is so much easier one day at a time." It does help to know what you are eating for every meal and keep track of it. It helps you see what your actual intake is. I know, that is not news to anyone!

Notice, I have avoided the "exercise" discussion. Not sure why, but, I don't feel ready to get back into Jazzercise. I will though. Perhaps I need to do some walking first. It's so beautiful outside, how could you not want to get out there??

It was exciting when I went into the center today to check in. One of their customers (I guess that is what you would call them) who lost over 100 lbs., was chosen to be the national spokesperson for Physicians Weight Loss Centers. Her husband came in and they were waiting for her arrival to tell her. Talk about encouragement!! They had a video going of her start and now, and, it truly is amazing. The transformation she made. That is my goal, no, not to be the national spokesperson, but to transform myself. To be a stronger, better me.
