Big News! And Photos!

This week I stuck to my plan. I photographed everything I ate and I used my fitness app to track my workouts. No special diets. In fact, I ate pizza and fast food a couple times! But I remembered to eat only when I was hungry and stop when I didn't "need" to eat anymore. I also made an effort to drink more water.

The result? I'm down to 212 and holding steady there!! AND I bought a couple new shirts and was able to buy mens MEDIUM for the first time in years! I remember when I was an XL-XXL. This is amazing! 


Everything that went in my body this week:

• Small portions of fast food
• Some really good salads
• Lots of coffee and crystal light
• A little diet soda
• Oatmeal
• Soup
• A couple of sandwiches
• A little chicken and beef
• A couple of sweets
• Water
• Small portions of potato chips
• Milk

My workouts:

I made it to the gym twice this week and one karate class. I didn't do enough that I'm hurting, but it seems to have been enough to help! I'm following a light routine where I complete a little cardio followed by some rapid weight lifting at weights that aren't difficult for me, and then I repeat. 

We now have a balance ball at the house and I am going to start supplementing my workouts by doing that at home. 

All in all, very motivating and a great start to what I hope will be continual improvement :).
