Week 1: Small Victories

"Any step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction."

It's time for my first weekly report! I wish I could say I lost a lot of weight this week, but the truth is, I really didn't.  I am down just 1/2 pound from last week. Despite not quite reaching my goal of close to 2 pounds/week, I'm not really disappointed. Here's why: Last year at this time, I was stressed, eating tons of fast food, and getting no exercise.  This week, I ate healthy foods and exercised 6 days! My body is getting used to eating only healthy foods as well as to exercising more vigorously again.  So even though the scale didn't budge too much, I experienced a lot of small victories this week. And that's worth celebrating!

My one downfall this week was a Mexican themed potluck I went to last night.  I did much better than I might have done previously at such a party, but I still ate way too much! But yet another small victory, even though there were lots of yummy looking desserts, I ate just half a donut hole and I was done! Go ahead, be impressed!

Here's to another week of exercise and healthy eating!

Pounds lost: .5
Pounds left to lose: 29.5

Love,
Candace
