-1.5

It is weigh in day for me, and I am down 1.5  pounds. I am very happy with this number for multiple reasons. In order to reach my ultimate goal, I need to lose 2 pounds a week. It's only 1.5 pounds you say??? Well... I started on 2/10. During my first week the only thing I did was drink water and get rid of soda. For my first week efforts, I lost 0.5 pounds. Now, the reason I am so happy with my 1.5 pound weight loss is because I didn't put everything together until this week Monday. So since Monday I've been staying in my calorie range, drinking at least 8 glasses of water, and incorporating exercise in my plan. ALSO, last weekend we had hosted a game night which I ingested plenty of pizza, soda, and wine. So, a 1.5 pound loss for basically 3 days of work puts me in a fantastic mood!!!

I know that it's only been 3 days of putting together the whole package, but I am finding that it's not difficult to do. As long as we have the right kind of food in the house, the rest is simple. It's just finding the motivation to workout everyday. The better I feel and the more progress I make will definitely keep me motivated. I am a worried about plateaus, but I can only deal with the present so I will cross that bridge when I get there!!

My eating habits are going well. I am staying within my calorie range. I have been eating about 1580 calories a day, which is keeping me full and satisfied. I am doing zumba once a week, and I am planning on adding at least 1 more night of it. My hubby and I are joining a gym this weekend, and my plan is to go at least 5 days a week. They offer a bunch of classes also, so I am hoping to find other ways of exercising that I like to do. As many of you know, I used to be big into sports... I want that back so bad!
