Week 1 Completed!

So a little disapointing.... I only lost 1 lb, so my weight is now 169. However, Im not worried about it because I know I did everything right:
I was honest with myself
I worked out a total of 5 days, 3 hrs 15 min total
I ate healthy
I know if I keep this up, the weight will come off. There is no turning back. I am feeling better since I got the exercise ball rolling; im sleeping better, i have more energy and i have a little more self esteeme. Why quit now?
I got this book called 100 Days of Weight Loss which has journaling for the first 100 days or so of trying to loose weight.

DAY 1:

I used to be that way, but now i'm different!

1. Make a list of any fears or negative behaviors that have hurt your weight-loss success in the past. Read each one out loud and then say, "I used to be that way, but now i'm different."

• Life getting in the way
• falling of the wagon...quit exercising, quit tracking
• blaming lack of money for quiting
• getting 20 lbs off and never hitting my goal thinking that is good enough

2. Then write new endings for them by completing the statement above.

• I used to blame life for falling short but now i will put me first and life's issues second.
• I used to fall of the wagon, but now, no matter what struggles I have, I am going to keep exercising even if it is for only 10 minutes and continue writing down all my foods. To me, a healthy life style is the priority and weight loss will come naturally.
• I used to blame not being able to afford the necessities of weight loss (memberships, healthy food, ect) but I realize that the long term, not being healthy will add up to be much more.
• I used to think falling short of my goal was "good enough", but now i know "good enough" is not the standard I deserve; I deserve to reach my all my goals in every aspect of life.
