Welp, looks like I finally lost some weight! I've been working hard this week. I worked out three different times, which was my goal, and charted my food throughout the week. The weekends, I am learning, are where it's tough. I can't seem to stick to a set number of calories. I didn't gorge or anything like that, but I could have done better.
The balance of weight and yummy food is so hard for me. For so much of my life, food has been such a huge part of my social existence. Fairs, football games, BBQs, date nights... I just love food, but obviously I can't eat like I used to, and I am finding it hard to balance good food I want to eat and still maintain a healthier diet. My momma's southern cooking was delicious, but definitely not healthy.
That's the struggle though, I think. The balance. Plus balancing work, school, homework, our pets, Joel, all while trying to maintain a healthy and spiritually strong existence. Guess this will be my big challenge.

Good job!! See weight come off even a little at a time is exciting. :)
Nice work! That's great. I feel ya on the southern cookin'. I was doing well with my fitness until my Mimi got back into town and started cooking for me a lot. Now, I'm in trouble! ;)
Progress! Congrats.
I love that image. I find it difficult to find balance as well. This week I've been breaking up my workouts so that I do them all throughout the day. I don't have a gym membership, so I rely on my own body weight and creativity. Walking lunges while I'm walking my dog, calf raises while I'm brushing my teeth. A 5 minute ab series while I'm watching TV.
In terms of food - I don't follow a diet. If I want BBQ or chocolate or ice cream, I eat it...but I don't gorge myself...I really savor the food and eat consciously. I'm a firm believer that you really can eat whatever you want as long as you use portion control :)
good for you. my problem is exercising. no time! but i need to make time.
