I totally have neglected my blog!!! The importance of beginning this blog was not to gain followers, not to have a certain number of hits, etc. but to journal my innermost thoughts on losing weight. Now that I have seemingly "left the building" for a few weeks let me recap the last few weeks. I lost 3 lbs during my detox phase. I was somewhat disappointed but realized I wasn't going to drop a big number for a few reasons:
- I did not exercise 5 days a week as I was supposed to - it was more like 2 days a week. This is probably the #1 reason I didn't lose more.
- I don't weigh that much to begin with. I am not minimizing my weight by any means. I am overweight (yay for moving out of the obese category!) and I understand that. But for most women in my weight category, losing between 1-2 lbs per week is normal.
That left me at 171. I then entered Phase II of the diet and was doing really well, but then I left my parent's home and returned to school where I live alone. Once I got back to my apartment, I did not have any food so I was eating out for a few days, didn't get right into exercising...yet again, and had a few "treats." That being said, I did not gain any weight, but I did not lose anything either.
Now fast forward to today and I weigh 167.0 lbs! YAY! So in one month I have lost 6 lbs. Not bad, but could be better. I am definitely back on my game, eating extremely healthy and I have began exercising regularly -
FINALLY! I will give more details on my diet and exercise regimen in a separate post! 6 lbs down, approximately 1/5 of my goal!!!! Gotta celebrate the little victories!
