In the first week of my new health diet, I lost 2.8lbs. I exercised everyday (albeit only 20 minutes per day) and tracked everything that went into my mouth. Tracking my intake made me more aware of where my weaknesses are. I had to concentrate on cutting sweets, increasing fruits and veggies, cutting portion sizes, and making wiser choices. I DID have sweets everyday. I just planned for them. The small vanilla icecream cone at McDonalds is low fat and very low in calories. If you are WeightWatchers, they are only 2 points! I had to make sure that when I had sweets I took the time to savor them.

I'm a loser

So, I have taken a challenge from some Napa buddies to be a "big loser." Perfect timing since my 30 year class reunion is in 2 months! I am starting out at 159.6 pounds. In the last two days I have exercised and tracked my food intake. So far, so good;-) I want to be at 150 by August 8th.
