Tuesday was a fairly good day... got in some walking but forgot to carry the pedometer; managed to eat 75% whole foods but had a fast food meal (which was probably over half my calories for the day - good thing most of my other foods for the day were fresh veggies and very low cal).
I'm fighting a fibro flare so everything is taking longer. Big weekend is planned so I really need to pace myself better.
Still keeping my goal in mind from time to time. :)
Today is going to be busy - shopping to do, packing to start, phone calls to make, and a house to get clean, plus catching up all the laundry. I'll be eating only at home today so at least sticking to my plan should be easy.

Monday! A week so far
Week 1 and I'm down 3.7 pounds!!! WOO HOO!!!
That is way more than I expected but what a great boost! This has been a challenging week in lots of ways that have nothing to do with losing weight. I was sure any loss would be meager at best because I've not been able to even get on the gazelle, I have had 'fast food' a few times, and even at home I've eaten more of foods I know I should keep to a minimum. I will not say "avoid" because what I'm doing isn't about deprivation, it's about changing my life, having a new lifestyle! So, if I want something high fat, decadently sweet, or fulls of preservatives and other non-food additives that are more and more being found out to add on the pounds, then I will have it ~ but the key is in having a smaller amount of it. The key is to have just enough to satisfy but no more than that.
The only thing I can say that I have done every day this last week is this:
I have, at least once each day, actually thought about what I did or was doing that day to stick to my goal of losing 2 pounds per week.
So I believe keeping a conscious level of thought about your goals throughout your waking hours is an important step to meeting those goals.

Day 2
Didn't do too bad yesterday - 50% raw, organic veggies & at least 64 ounces of water. Still working on the exercise thing - too much pain yet. :(
So far today... started out good... but then had a bit of fast food and not feeling too well since then.
But I have a meeting tonight that I won't miss just from a mild tummy ache. So, dinner will be all raw veggies... and more water, only had about 40 ounces so far.
