Today was my weigh in day and I was down over 7 lbs this week. I did figure that my first 10 lbs would be the easiest. Yesterday I had cereal for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly on wheat for lunch, and my wife made chili for dinner. In the evening I had quite a few chocolate-covered pomegranates. I had coffee, one diet pepsi at lunch, and tons of water the rest of the day. I did turn down cake in the afternoon. For exercise I did a couple of different walks around the warehouse.
I didn't really do much unusual the first week. I seriously increased the amount of water I drank. I cut out the regular pop. I stopped eating lunches out and took my lunch to work instead. I tried to cut down on the deserts and alcohol with varying degrees of success. I tried to increase my exercise but I only walked. My second week goals are to *virtually* eliminate alcohol and continue to follow the other good habits from week 1.
Some of you may think by my week 1 writing that I am an alcoholic. Usually I can take or leave alcohol, i.e. beer, but I had gotten in the habit lately of having several drinks in the evening. When I was taking classes last year I couldn't do this so I kind of feel entitled to a good beer. That is going to have to go.
