Yesterday I finally got a scale! I am so glad, because now I will be able to track my progress more accurately, and I think if I can see the actual progress being made, then it will help to keep me motivated to do more. I am sure my weight when I started this plan was above 180. Now, after 10 days of calorie counting, I weighed myself this morning. 177.2! I am so happy. My goal for mid-November is 160, and I really think I can do it! I used a calorie calculator online, I don't remember where, but it said how many calories to eat to lose a certain amount and when you should lose it by. Hopefully by March I will be 140lbs! I really want to keep at it, and it is not as hard as I thought it would be. If I keep posting here on the blog and keep myself actively thinking about it, then I think I will be perfectly fine. Go me!!!
Also, for dinner I ate out with my boyfriend again and I stayed in my calorie range. That is the nice thing about Indian, you can dish as much curry and such as you want onto your plate. So when I finished, I put my knife and fork down and realized that I actually am full. We had a cup of chai for dessert, and it was fab. Very yummy dinner!!! I have been trying really hard, and I am proud of myself for not splurging.
Tomorrow is a busy day, and I have been having trouble falling asleep, so I hope after eating a good meal and some tea and some unwinding that everything will be good! I got some black tea from Trade Aid to mix it up a bit instead of just my green tea, and I walked a fair bit today. I had a lot of energy today and I that makes me so happy. I have just been so lethargic and bleh. But it isnt too difficult and I really believe I can make these changes even during the holiday season if I bake stuff myself and spend time with my amazing family!
Keep positive, no matter what! You can do it.
Love,
Erica.
