Weekly Weigh In

Today I weighed in at ...

176.0 lbs

Which means I am 1 pound away from losing 10 pounds!!! 

I honestly can't believe it. For so long I have been trying so many things to lose weight from dieting, to trying to be religious about exercise multiple times. FINALLY, I have found something that is working for me! I started using myFitnessPal on May 25th, so I have lost 9 pounds in just a little (4 days) over a month.

I think that the reason that this time it's going so well for me is that this has definitely been a LIFESTYLE CHANGE vs a diet. I count my calories every single day. I have laid off the unhealthy snacks and junk food, and totally cut out eating out of boredom and/or stress. The other night I felt like a snack later at night (around 9pm) and instead of grabbing chips and Oreo cookies that were in the pantry, I got an apple and some grape tomatoes out of the fridge. 

For exercise, I haven't done much. I walk my dog a few times a day for maybe 10/15 minutes a walk, and that is basically it. I know I should probably be doing more, but at this point I am happy with where I am. One of my major goals though, is to start using my Couch to 5K app on my phone. I'll get there eventually! Can't wait to hit 10 pounds lost!
