Weekly Weight Progress, 11/15

About a month ago I realized I needed to once again get my weight in check.

The pounds were creeping up, slowly, but still uncomfortably. Since having my youngest daughter 5 years ago, I have mostly stayed within a few pounds of 175, which is about 20lbs. overweight for me. Well, after losing a job in April, I consoled myself with food…until October rolled around and the scale read 190. I did not like that number, not one bit, and that’s how my current weight loss journey began.

This week’s progress:

Today I’m happy to report I hit the 10lbs. lost mark!

Starting Weight: 190

Current Weight: 180

This week’s slips:

I got into the kids’ candy buckets, as chocolate is my biggest weakness. I didn’t make time for my one hour on the treadmill once all week, which is disappointing. Also, there were a few day where I forgot to take my fiber.

This week’s successes:

I drank more than enough water, kept a positive outlook, and increased my vegetable intake. I was also more active during the day, even though I didn’t participate in planned exercise.

Goals for next week:

Remember to take my daily fiber, use the treadmill at least 3 times during the week, limit sugar/candy (thankfully the Halloween candy is gone now), and keep my positive outlook. If I can lose 10 pounds, I can lose 20 more!

What are your goals for this week, and how do you plan on reaching them?
