Today marks the beginning of my 8th week on the program. On the other programs I've done ( Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers to name just 2,) now is usually the time I start to get bored with the whole recording everything you eat, timing the food, the exercise, and the junk food deprivation.
Strangely, not this time and not on this program.
I think the reason is because for the first time in my adult life I am actually eating real food - not diet meals, or prepackaged portions - but REAL honest- to- goodness everyday food.
With the simple changes of HOW to eat that I've made on this program, I am noticing changes in my skin, body, energy level, and how my clothing fits. I have not been on the scale since my plateau last week, and I think I am going to avoid it for another week, just stick to the program and do everything I am supposed to do. March 1 is next monday. I think that will be a good day to weigh and then possibly weigh myself every 2 weeks or even monthly if I am sticking to the program religiously like I want to.
I will continue to blog since having eyes watching my progress is good for my soul, and my motivation, but I will forgoe the drama and stomach-pains of weighing myself weekly.
At the beginning of the program I was not allowed to weigh myself for the first three week. That turned out to be horribly hard, but worthwhile, because the first time I setpped on the scale after that, I had a loss.
And I hope to have one again next week.
Until them: the goals remain the same - 3 FOODLOVERSFATLOSSPLATES daily, with snack every 2-3 hrs; 12 glasses of water every day, sleep 7- 8 hrs, and get some exercise.
I hope you all keep coming back for progress reports.
