Well, the first week did not go as spectacularly as I would have liked, but I still managed to rid 1494 calories, which should equal about .43 lbs. I'll take it. I still have about 9.57 lbs to lose, but half a pound in a week is not too bad.
I encountered some good and some bad, but over all I felt pretty good. My biggest problem was the mini getaway my boyfriend took me on. We went to Lake Geneva, WI and had a wonderfully indulgent time! Luckily I was hard core calorie counting during the week or I would have been way over my calorie allowance at the end of the week.
Difficult Times:
-Super hungry after a few days
-My boss and my boyfriend decided to gorge on french fries right next to me!!
-Eating out really takes a lot of calories (even on healthy selections)
-I'm a sucker for champagne... my boyfriend bought a couple bottles to celebrate my birthday.
Good Things:
-Veggies really help out in the hunger department. They are filling and have so few calories.
-Eating small meals throughout the day keeps energy up and hunger down.
-I'm already feeling a little more room in my jeans
-Stringently watching calories during the week gives extra leeway on the weekends.
So I have 33,506 calories to lose to hit my goal. The key to not starving yourself is exercise. It takes a lot to get me in the gym, but I love food and wine and if having those means an hour in the gym then let's do it!
