222! I've lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. Hurray!

Finally dropped after being at 224 all last week. I really only ate 2 meals Saturday and 2 meals Sunday. Plus I exercised at the hotel. But I made it. Good choices!

Today I really want to walk. It's supposed to be warm. My tendon wasn't very sore yesterday and feel OK today. Baked potato for lunch. Not sure about supper. Maybe a salad when I get home from JUGS.

Here's to a good day and a good week!
I promise to me--to make good choices--because I'm worth it.

224

Good day yesterday. I ate what I planned. No uncontrolled eating. 6 glasses water--keep improving! I have a couple of teachers wanting to do the Live Healthy Iowa. I'd like a couple more, but that's OK. I thought I would walk on the treadmill yesterday, but didn't have time before JUGS and was out of the mood after. I'm doing ballgames at WACO tonight. So maybe tomorrow night, unless I go to the music meeting.

Today: toast, peanut butter, milk, salad, chicken, orange, supper? I'd like to take something to eat at the game instead of pizza or popcorn. Not sure what. Water, water, water. Good job!

I promise to myself--to make good choices--because I am worth it.

224

Yay!! 8 pounds gone in 3 weeks. Yesterday was a very good day, especially because I was home all day and still stuck to my plan. 7 cups of water--good.

Today: oatmeal, milk, applesauce. Taco soup, yogurt, orange, apple. Chicken stuffing casserole for supper if I come home. I think I will, then maybe walk on the treadmill. Water!!

Good job these last 3 weeks.

224.5

Yesterday was a really good day. I only ate when I was hungry. No uncontrolled eating. Oatmeal, part of sub from Walmart, banana, sweet potato, chicken breast, tangelo. 4 cups water. I need to do better with that. No walking. I'm hoping I can get some hs staff interested in joining the Live Healthy Iowa 100 Wellness Challenge. It's supposed to start tomorrow, but we can join late.

Today--good meals planned. Toast, peanut butter, milk, chicken/stuffing casserole w/ green beans. Tangelo. Supper? Maybe the sweet potato, yogurt, more veggies and fruit. Water! Walk on treadmill.

I'm happy that I'm down 7.5 pounds from 3 weeks ago. Adding walking will be good. I'm going to look into Zumba DVDs.

Keep with it.

Stay in the present.

224.5

I've had several good days in a row. Making good choices. Yesterday I had a couple of unplanned snacks (peanuts, doritos, marshmallows), but my meals and other snacks were very good. I hope today and this weekend I will do well. I need to start walking. Maybe I'll do the treadmill tomorrow and Sunday. Good soup yesterday and today for lunch. Tuna last night for supper. Tonight I'll eat at the game. Probably pizza. I need to take fruit with me.
