Week 1.

Well I made it through week one.....barely. And I totally do not mean that barely lightly. I wanted to quit MANY times but I kept doing what I was doing and it paid off TONS. Here's my numbers:

Starting weight: 270
First week weight: 258
Total loss -12 lbs!

I'm so excited for the weight loss!!! It's nice to SEE the numbers after so many years of just working my butt of to have it barely move, or worse not move at all. I really want to follow through this for at least a month. I want to be healthy (and skinny) badly. It's worth the sacrifice now. But man that first week was rough. It helps me NOT make a bad choice. I was reading on one of the blogs and they said that by calling when you eat a food you're not supposed to as cheating it creates a negitive thing in your mind and can be damaging, which I agree, so I won't be saying "cheating" but instead saying I made a bad choice. I did make a bad choice once and I regretted it so much because it set me back with everything I had worked days for. After first TSFL (Taking Shape For Life) is hard because you're so not used to the lack of calories or the taste of the food or anything.

I'm planning on starting to work out on Monday. I'm going to start with just some walking, and by some I really mean A LOT. My goal is to be able to run a 5K by summer. I really want to do it this year! How many times have I told people I'm running a 5K only to never do it. I've done one 5K in my life many many years ago and the accomplishment I felt at the end was AMAZING! And I only walked it. I want that buzz, the high again. So that's my goal. SO off to another week!
