I’m still up above 215. As of this morning, I weighed in at 217. But I know that it’s still not a bad situation. I DID go to at least 2 parties this weekend (where…uh…food…it was served). I also haven’t changed my diet yet. On a good note, this past Friday while walking, I realized that my body had gone through a change. With only one week of daily walking (with the exception of Wednesday), I no longer felt pain and a swelling of my hands while out there briskly walking. In fact, it felt good! It felt like it used to when I was in shape and got my heart rate, breathing, and sweating up. Not too bad for a 34-year-old with only one week of regular exercise under my belt! Then again, watching the show “The Biggest Loser” did inspire a little this past week.
This week I start my 5 daily meal diet. I want to thank Widgetchick for her suggestions last week. We hit up the grocery store armed with a new list of items. I’m drinking straight water this week (I normally like drinking half water and half soda at room temperature). I was pretty amazed at just how cheap those budget gourmet meals are! We got 10 for $10 at our local (overpriced) Albertson’s in Rosamond. Amazing; lunch for one dollar! I think this is going to help me lose weight and save money at the same time.
So even though I’ve not seen a massive plummet in my weight as of yet, I’m still pretty excited about the changes I’m going though. I’m also grateful for my wife who is sooo supportive of my decisions lately. Not only with my desire to start my own business, but with this weight loss plan. Even with our tight finances this month, she’s willing to do whatever we can to make this plan work -and for that I am very grateful.
