16 lbs. Lighter

There is less of me and I am so proud. The exercises and food changes have really made a difference. Yesterday, I did not eat much, but I was full.

Today
Weight: 174

For making it to this point, I get my nails done. A mini celebration!

Today was a good day.

Food
broccoli, cheese, & onion omelet
side salad and mashed potatoes
1/2 chicken breast, mixed vegetables, & black eyed peas

Exercise

Saturday, March 21

Weight: 177

Food
broccoli and cheese omelet
1 fried wing, rice with broccoli and cream of mushroom soup
KFC's fried spicy wings

Friday, March 20

Food
Campbell wild rice soup
Tilipia and mashed potatoes
plate of ribs
2 hot dogs

This was bad. I should have stopped on the plate of ribs. Even though the food choice was horrible, I didn't gain any weight.

Eating Right & Exercising
Eating right and exercising has really worked for me. I know how to stop eating when I am full. Taking my lunch to work and fixing breakfast saves money and allows me to eat the things I like.

Weight loss is hard, but putting my mind to it has made me realize I can do anything. Focusing on what is important and putting the nonsense behind helps to stay focused on what's important.

I don't know if I will have lost 25 lbs. by the end of the month. Even if I haven't I will continue to work toward my goal. Healthy living is what I am working toward. Getting into pants I haven't worn in 6 months that is what I am forward to.

I Think Success was My Friend Today

Weight: 177 lbs.

The day was good. My teeth hurt. New wire and power chain for braces, so my mouth hurts. All of the food that I have eaten today has been soft. I don't know how long my mouth is going to hurt, but I am going to seize the moment.

Food
potatoes, grits, eggs, 2 sausage links
chicken salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, 1 boiled egg, 1 slice of bacon)
1/2 piece tilapia, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes

Exercises
40 scissors
40 minute walk and stairs
10 back kicks
10 side kicks

Overall, things are good! We will see what the morning brings.
