I'm a week in! And thank goodness I have seen some results, otherwise I think I would feel so discouraged. Its been a lot of work and changes in my lifestyle, but as long as it works I can stick with it.
Diet
I haven't made any kind of radical changes to my diet where I am eliminating any foods or anything like that. I am counting calories. I bought a kitchen scale and extra measuring cups and spoons. I am calculating EVERY SINGLE THING that I eat or drink. It takes time, but once I get it figured out then I know for the next time. I haven't been starving (except for Monday - but I blame that more on the fact I didn't get a good night's sleep so I was just cranky in general).
Exercise
I got a treadmill. Its a manual one, not electric, therefore its always at an incline. I don't know if we put it together wrong or if its broken, but the computer part isn't working to tell me how fast/far I have gone. I can tell you this much though - I did it for the first time Thursday evening. I was on it for 15 minutes. I thought I was going to die. I have been working at it and now I'm up to 25 minutes. I go fast enough that I can't have a conversation with you and when I'm done I'm completely drenched in sweat and have to shower immediately. Exercise isn't something I have ever really done - so I'm very out of shape. Although, can you be OUT of shape if you weren't ever IN shape?!?! LOL
Lifestyle
In the last week I succeeded at going out to eat both Friday and Saturday night. I made sure to scout out the restaurants online before we went and figure out what I could eat and stay within my calorie count for the day. I'm super motivated right now so I don't mind doing the extra work, I hope I can stay this way for a while.
