2007 Resolutions – Week 7 Results

I lost 0.2 pounds this week.  So far I’m down 11.4 pounds for the year and 27.3 pounds overall. 

I am surprised to see I’m down this week.  I didn’t work out that many days, I ate out a lot, and I ate things I don’t normally eat – specifically ice cream twice!  Yet I did lose some weight and my blood pressure was under 120/80. 

A lot has been written on blogs lately about this being the danger zone.  Two months into the year is when most people start falling off their resolutions in droves.  I don’t want that to be me.  I have upped my conversations with my coach and I have recommitted to taking only Friday’s off of exercise during the week.

For eating, I have been focused primarily on two things, and I haven’t compromised on either.  First, I eat oatmeal for most breakfasts.  Second, I don’t eat two hours before I go to bed.  Everything else I do is just be sensible.  Most people know what’s good and what’s bad to eat.  Most people know when they are overeating and should cut back their portion size.  I quit both counting calories and even keeping a log of food.  But those two tweaks sure made a difference – thanks coach!!
