HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD!
After struggling for the past three months to lose some weight, I have finally succeeded this week! I was practically holding my breath as I stepped onto the scale this morning. I "felt" lighter, but wasn't sure if it was just a fluke. But no, I am actually 3 whole pounds lighter this week!
I am happy. Very happy and excited that this is finally happening. It took a major attitude shift and an iPod app to help me out, too. Thanks to that iPod app, I'm keeping track of my calories consumed and calories burned during exercise. My daily goal for calories is "1200", which goes by VERY quickly. I've cut down on the amount of food on eat and even the type of food I'm eating; I found out that my bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios at breakfast and 2% milk was nearly 500 calories, so I switched it with some yogurt instead. Now, I have 180 calories for breakfast. I've also been eating the Tyson's Dino Nuggets for lunch; 10 nuggets is only 360 calories. My biggest meal is dinner, which I try to be good with. I've stopped going to coffee shops to order my fatty drinks and have instant Folgers coffee with (2) single serve creamers instead. I bought pre-sliced apples with caramel for snacks. I make it a goal to burn at least 500 calories each night at the gym.
All of these changes -- and more -- have helped me drop the weight this week. I'm excited to see a change and look forward to seeing how much more I can lose. I obviously can't meet my goal by June, so I took off the deadline and have just had my goal as 130 lbs. I know I can do it, and if things keep progressing the way they are now, I could very well hit that goal by June 4th like originally planned!
