Yay!  I lost 4lbs this week!  I got in my exercise daily, which felt great!  I didn’t feel deprived since I still went out when I felt like it (picking more responsible items off the menu), but I didn’t limit myself to “health food.”  The reality is I’m not going to “diet;” I’m simply focusing on cutting calories and I’m not going to be overly-concerned about where every single calorie comes from.  For me, that just makes weight-loss to much of a chore and my mind begins bargaining with itself (risk vs. reward), and inevitable the downfall comes.  So this time ’round, I’m only going super-strict when absolutely necessary (ex-the unavoidable plateau).  The rest of the time, I’m going to live my life normally, but more consciously.  My goals for the coming week are:

-1500 calories (or less) daily

-25 minute (minimum) on Wii Fit daily

-250 calories burned (minimum) on tredmill 6x

-Drink 2 bottles of water daily (out of my large water bottle)

-Take my vitamin daily

-Break out of the 170’s (currently 171)

I realize I still need to cut about 300 calories.  I had a pretty big dinner tonight (700 cals), but I’m not going to beat myself up to badly because it’s all about improvement.  The last time I went to Ihop, I’m sure I ate well over 1,000 calories.

Takin’ it one day at a time!
