Day Thirty-One 1 Month Mark!!!!

So ladies & gentlemen, I have made it through my first month. Dropped the kids off at school, went to the gym & did 31 minutes of cardio w/ 2 minutes of running. Man I worked up a sweat!!

And I tell you what, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Today at work, I was visited by our massage therapist's son who used to be my personal trainer. I told him what I had been doing and he was so proud of me. It always feels good to get that little pat on the back. I have really noticed that when I first told people what I was doing, it was really tough. It's tough to address my weight & lack of exercise. But now, it has been so easy- I am more proud of what I am doing.

Now, I know that on my first blog I said that I would weigh myself every Monday, but I read on the BFL website not to weigh so often. So I decided to wait until I hit the 1-month mark. With my husband and my old personal trainer in the other room, I decided to get on the scale to see what has happened. Drum roll please.....................318 lbs. LOST 10 LBS!!!!!!! Yea me! So it looks like I am averaging 2.5 lbs per week, which is a good steady weight loss. That is so awesome!! I am so pumped. The past couple of days, I was worried I was going to get burned out, but seeing the loss, I am pumped to keep going!

So here is my food journal entry for today:

Breakfast
Special K cereal
Coffee

Lunch
Chicken Noodle Soup
Crackers
Water

Afternoon Snack
2 big slices of pineapples
Coffee

Dinner
Chinese- Rice, egg roll, suateed green beans, chicken & broccoli, General Tso's Chicken (some off my hubby's plate), Sweet & Sour Chicken (some off my hubby's plate)
4 glasses of water w/ lemon

It looks like looking back, I had a lot more coffee than what I planned. I need to work on a cup in the morning & try and not have any the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is lower body, so I hope I can walk after I am done. I am ready to keep going & I will talk to everyone tomorrow!!!
