First Week Success - Down 4 Pounds

So, this morning I got up early to make it to a 7:15 am meeting time. I was going to be out of the office and not near my usual noon meeting place...and had another committment during the evening meeting time...so, I committed to getting up early...how is THAT for dedication.

I knew I would be successful because I had really stayed on program and exercised, etc. My first week's success story...I am down 4 pounds! A great way to start out a weight loss program...I'm already a BIG LOSER! (and that's a good thing) Now that I have so many friends behind me and supporting me, I feel a little more accountable, which was really the goal of sharing my story so publicly. I know you have to be motivated from within to be successful at these sorts of endeavors, but a little extra can't hurt.

No real challenges to speak of today...we did eat out at a local eatery known for "home-style cooking" at lunch which could present some challenges. I thoughtfully ordered the veggie plate and had two small bowls of pinto beans and a bowl of green beans. I did enjoy a slice of cornbread which along with the pintos is a serious comfort food.

So, I wanted to invite anyone who gets to this blog and wants to add your weight loss experience or share a tip or recipe, to feel free to do so...I'd love some interaction.
