It's been 4 weeks. And what are my results? I've lost 10.5 pounds! I'm so excited about that. I've only had the opportunity to work out a handful of times during these 4 weeks (which I need to be MUCH better about). It's mostly been about my diet. I had set a goal for myself to lose 2 pounds a week. I'm averaging 2.6! What is the diet? Slim Fast and Special K breakfast protein shakes. I'm careful to track all my calories, especially for dinner. And I have had splurge days. But overall, I have to say I am loving the LoseIt!® app. It has made tracking my calories so stinking simple. Both for food and for exercise.
So I'm starting the next 4 weeks today, at 216.5 pounds. Still a ways to go, but I am seeing results. And that is all that matters to me!
I'm a little worried about the next two weeks. Thanksgiving. Sigh. I so love the food traditions that we have as a family for that holiday. I think I may need to hit the rower a few times before next Thursday.
So how am I feeling? I am feeling good. I had to go down a size in my pants. I am loving how easy it is. BUT, I miss eating. I do not like being hangry most of the day. That part is no fun. I miss chewing all my meals. While the shakes are simple and fast, I do miss chewing. I don't know how long this will last, but I'll take it while it's working. Because for the first time, I'm continuing to lose a consistent amount of weight each week. And that's a good thing.
