Week 1 = Success!

I promised an update and here it is. This week was hard. The end.


I kid.

This was a difficult, stressful, busy week. I could have very easily said I would start fresh next week when things calmed down. But, I didn't. And I didn't even really want to. Saturday was the hardest day and I'd be lying if I said no emotional eating took place. But I kept it mostly healthy, if you don't count the pizza (no one felt like cooking) and got through. I gave up soda and chocolatey, sugary, no good snack food this week. (You may have read my post about that, haha) There were times better choices could have been made, like relay for life's fish and fries. I have gone back to using myfitnesspal.com and only barely went over my calorie goal one day. That was a night I stayed with my grandpa and was up over 24 hours, so I don't think that even counts really. I was never hungry between meals or snacks this week and I continually prayed to God to help me. This is the only way this is getting done, through prayer.

I have not exercised once yet. But I do have more free time now so there are no more excuses for not doing something at least three times a week.

After only one week I feel better. Each week I trust God to help through this journey will get me one week closer to goal. Only through prayer, scripture and accountability will I see my goal accomplished.

So, want to know my week 1 weight loss total?

4 pounds!

(Hoping there is no week 2 curse weigh in like they have on the biggest loser. Seeing those numbers move is so encouraging.)
