Weigh-In Wednesday

I missed posting my weight-loss progress last week, so I'll pick back up today.

Food: I've been doing quite well with staying within my calorie limit and eating pretty healthy with the exception of a few days where I've gotten off track. The great thing with counting calories is that I can still have a small dessert or treat on occasion and can work it in to my daily allowance. I just have to make sure that I don't have too many treats! LOL!

Water: I haven't been drinking enough water this week. :-(

Exercise: I've been running close to a mile 3-4 times a week and then walking with the kids or dog the other days. Either way = exercise!

Successes: Staying on track pretty well while I was gone to the women's retreat. The meals provided were generally quite healthy with a large salad served at each lunch and supper. So it was pretty easy to eat right. I ate a bit more sweets and snacks than normal but I had planned not to be too rigid so it worked out well.

Challenges: Staying on track on the weekends and drinking enough water.

Plans for next week: Try to get more water in!

Weigh-in: I'm down one pound from last week. Woo-hoo! Last week, there was no weight loss (or gain), so I'm glad for losing one pound this week! 7 pounds down, 13 more to go! Almost halfway there!
