Yay! First week working toward my goal was a success - 2.1 pounds down. Whoo hoo! I love watching the scale move in the right direction. A few goods and bads from this week:
The Good:
1. Cooking at home saves money AND calories. We used to be BIG out-to-dinnerers, like 3+ times per week. Last week, with it being the holiday weekend, we had cookouts Saturday and Sunday, so we only went out for dinner on Friday. We saved lots of cash, and I felt much lighter and healthier at the end of the weekend. Go us!
2. Cookouts don' t have to be healthy eating landmines. Choose fruit salad and fresh veggie dishes rather than the potato salad and macaroni salad, which are loaded with mayo. If there's something you know you can't live without - have a bit of it. Don't fill your plate with it, but don't feel deprived just because you're trying to lose weight.
The Bad:
1. I could have possibly lost more if I got my butt in gear and exercised. I am really struggling with my motivation in that area. Hopefully I can get better this week!
So there we go - 2.1 pounds down. On to week 2!
