One month in...5.8 lbs lost. 5.8...really? Only 5.8?!
I have to admit that I'm a bit dissapointed at that number. Maybe a lot dissapointed. I've been working pretty hard and have made a really big change in my eating habits as well as exersize. It is, however, a step in the right direction. I guess.
I've made sacrifices, but I'm a bit in denial about 1 thing I need to sacrifice a little bit more of: alcohol. Sigh.
I'm German.
I come from a family of drinkers.
I haven't met much of any alcohol I didn't like.
I like to drink.
Beer, wine, vodka, cognac...
But...there's HOW MANY calories in that?!
Sigh.
I told myself I was going to limit alcohol to Friday and Saturday nights. Then, I remembered football season was starting. No beer on football Sundays?! Blasphemy!
However, in an effort to make more progress...and win a weight loss contest against my son's father (first to lose 20 lbs wins), the alcohol is going to have to be limited more.
Sigh.
Becky,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations on getting results from the positive changes you've been making! That's more than one pound a week and even though it doesn't sound like a lot you're more likely to keep it off if you lose slowly. Fast weight loss from crash dieting really just leads to yo-yo-ing badness. You are being successful AND smart. :)
