Everyone had a great week! Everyone lost weight, which is awesome! Seeing all of you guy sticking to your goals is helping motivate me. There were a few days at the gym this week that I wanted to stop my cardio before I had reached my distance goal. I mean - it's not like you guys would know if I lied. Right? But I would know. And you guys deserve better. So thank you, all of you, for helping motivate me to keep moving! Now lets kick some ass in week 2!

Natalie

- SHARE: I need to stop eating junk. I worked entirely too hard this week to only lose 2 pounds. Flozilla was in town, but that was not enough to cause this low number. I will do better next week. The scale went down - I guess that's a win, right?
Congrats Everyone, great week! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd Natalie, hey, you should congratulate yourself instead of this "only lose 2 pounds" talk! I mean losing 2 pounds and 6 exercises with all goals met is a great result, so stop beating yourself and give yourself the praise you deserve :-)
How can we help you do a better job of monitoring what you eat? I've been reading your blog for months, and it seems like you are having problems avoiding the junk. Do you keep a food diary or count calories? Do you plan your meals and snacks at the start of the week and only buy the ingredients that are needed for those meals (and don't keep any other food in the house or allow yourself to stop at the grocery or restaurants for other items during the week)? Maybe some of the other followers have more suggestions?
