So with week 1 finished I've lost 4.1 pounds. Not bad for a holiday week and ahead of my goal (though the first few pounds always seem to come off pretty quickly when you stop eating all the junk food).
Today was my first day back to work from the holiday break too, which added some new challenges. I was in such a hurry running out the door that I forgot to take a lunch and then ended up with 10 minutes to grab a quick bite. Not much choice there but fast food, but I think I was able to make a reasonable choice with a grilled chicken sandwich and apples at McD's. 560 calories is reasonable for a quick lunch like this.
So far so good. I'm not happy with the level of exercise I've been getting since New Year's day, but I'm working from home tomorrow, so I'm going to try to fit in a trip to the gym again.
Getting back into the work routine without falling into the routine of Starbucks for breakfast and junk fast food for lunch will be the real key. I'm not really making any other significant diet changes this week beyond avoiding fast food and attempting to make healthier ingredients and better portion sizes.
I'd like to be down 5 pounds by the end of the week and be getting good aerobic exercise at least 3 times this week. That's my plan, time to go make it happen.
