Ready . . . Set . . . Go: Week 1
Today marks the first week since I wrote about my plans to get in shape. I started of week one pretty well. I went to the local gym and spent some time on the treadmill and working with the weights. I went walking outside, breezing through a quick three mile walk while listening to some of my favorite music.
Walking toward the scale this morning was a bit scary because while I did exercise . . . some, I did not eat all of the right foods. I was certain I had gained a pound versus lost anything. Taking a shaky breath, I stepped on the scale and watched the numbers waiver back and forth. Eventually they stopped at 200 pounds. This means I lost 3 lbs in one week. Is it likely that most of it was just water weight and therefore, not relevant? It is possible, but I won’t dwell on that. IT was a loss, which means I have motivation do go out and try harder to keep seeing the numbers go down. Just in case you want to know, here’s an overview of what I ate last week:
Buttery Popcorn
Cherry Icee
Soda
Water. . . lots
Manwich with ground turkey
Hibachi Chicken & Shrimp w/white sauce
Seeing this poor accounting of a food diary reminds me that I need to be diligent about recording my food this week . . . . .
Oh, well! Here are my stats:
Starting Weight: 203lbs
August 18 - August 25: 200lbs
