On Monday we reached the 21st day of the year.
In that 21 days I have:
-Weighed myself every day (for me this is a necessary evil - I've never been successful with losing weight if I don't and quite the opposite, I start to gain weight)
-Not bought my lunch and/or drank soda
-Gotten at least 10,000 steps every day
-Tracked/journaled my food - while I am not putting in weights and measures at this point, writing it all down is definitely helping
Am I giving up after 21 days? Heck no! Going for the 90 day lifestyle (not that I will stop then either!) - Bring on April Fool's Day
So far the week is going pretty well. Monday I didn't have a holiday but the rest of my family did. But I did work from home because it was 0 with a feel of -16 in the morning. For the first time this year I did drink some calories with a coffee/hot chocolate/fat free creamer combination. And I got in FOUR 20 minute walks. Yes I didn't eat my "normal" work food - I had some pasta leftovers and a small brownie at lunch time (but still ate my carrots I had prepped over the weekend) and dinner was homemade pizza. Me and the kids split a pepperoni pizza made with 1/2 the store-bought dough so there wasn't a lot of pizza per person and I made a salad.
Tuesday I left the house for the first time in 3 days! I got to the grocery store at 7:30 am because we were out of produce! I was very busy for the 4+ hours I was in the office so I barely got in any steps, but prior to my C25K session I got in another 10 minute walk so I was able to hit the 10K steps during C25K (Week 5, Day 1 - so 3 5-minute runs). Dinner was everyone for themselves - I made myself 4 oz of Barilla Plus spaghetti and had leftover salad and some grapes.
