Week 2

So here I am eating my Greek yogurt and pretzel crisps with hummus wondering how I got to this point. Ha ha. I am literally shaking still from my workout and I probably didn't eat enough before the workout so I feel all jittery... Like jello? Yes jello. 

I have made it a week! It was hard and although I did indulge in a snowcone and a brownie throughout that week I feel very proud of myself. I weighed myself yesterday at work (same scale I weighed the first time) and I couldn't believe my eyes. I was hoping to have lost around 2-3 lbs based on my eating, cutting out dr pepper, and exercising.... But to my suprise I had lost 6! 6 whole pounds! Now I know that it will not be that much every week. But I am so excited to see some results. Although it's pretty sad when you are overweight enough that I physically can't see where I lost the 6 pounds. But my jeans don't feel as tight so I'm hoping it's from that area. ;) 

Is it me or does it seem when you are trying to lose weight the first place you lose it is in you your bra? Just a small observation I've made. I mean I don't mind, I don't really care much for the things but really...... How about my butt or my stomach. :) 

Anyways this weekend was hard to stay on track. I think this was mainly due to my sweet sweet husband who is eating whatever he wants (and can get away with it). I just want to do what we normally did and enjoy a post korvers bedtime treat or go on Saturday for our drink run and get a cookie from fabulous Freddy's. But I stayed strong (minus the snowcone) and I feel good about it. I'm slowly starting to not crave soda anymore, only with certain foods really...like Mexican food. Mmmmmm. But I still do miss that sweet "treat" after dinner. 

Being healthy is hard. I sure do hope that with time it just becomes second nature to reach for the wheat bread or whole grain pasta at the grocery store instead of the white. I hope I can learn to like more vegetables than just a sweet potatoe and broccoli. 

Until then I will just keep working and trying to remember that this is for my health and my family. :)
