Today was the official weigh in for week one. I am the type of person who is highly motivated by numbers. I have tried every fad diet that exists and if I don't post a large number in the first week, I know it's not going to be something I stick with.
I am very excited to report that I lost a total of 10.6lbs in week one. The goal I had set for myself was to lose 40lbs by the end of the 60 day challenge and this is a fantastic start. A tiny bit over 26% of the way there! I know that first week loses are usually larger than the following weeks, and I'm okay with that. But this is just what I needed in order to feel motivated enough to be just as committed for week two.
I had a non-scale victory yesterday as well. I'm trying to keep reminding myself that these victories are just as important as the weight loss. I had to run to the grocery store to pick up a few things we needed. Last month, they opened a Tim Horton's kiosk in our local store. I love ice caps and I love honey crullers even more. As I passed by the kiosk, the baker came out and added a freshly baked tray of the crullers. I would have given anything for one of those doughnuts. Anything except losing track of what I'm trying to accomplish. So, I didn't indulge.
All in all, a great week.
Wow, great job M!!
