First official weigh in, January 11th, 2010

Good Evening :)

So, today was my first official weigh in of 2010. I am down 2.4 lbs. I am well on my weigh. This week was a good one. I concentrated more on the food aspect than anything else. Starting tomorrow I am going to add in exercise. Bobby and I both greatly decreased the number of times we ate out. Most of our meals were home cooked. I have had only a couple sodas this week which is an awesome thing for me. I am just taking it one day at a time. One thing that has changed is our "weigh in day meal". Before, we would use our weigh in day as a free for all pass. Like calories didn't count or matter. We would eat huge meals which in all reality made it more diificult and contributed to us "failing". We have changed our way of thinking. We did go out to dinner tonight for our "weigh in day meal". We went to Logans Roadhouse. I will admit, I did have a couple rolls. My meal consisted of grilled chicken with a small amount of bbq sauce, baked sweet potato NOT LOADED. it just had a little bit of cinnamon on top, and a side salad with fat free ranch. Oh yea, I had ice water to drink. It may not be the best of meals BUT it is a major improvement compared to my past "weigh in meals". It all starts with little changes. :) Well, I would type more but I am so tired. 6am comes way to early. Thanks for all of your support, encouragement, and most of all friendship. I am here if any of you need me. After all, isn't that what this group is all about?
