lose one pound a week

I did a countdown on my calendar at work to show my goal weight each week.

There is now a 13 lb difference between what I weigh and what I had planned/hoped/wanted to weigh this week.

Very disappointing.

I need to get on this.

I think this is a reasonable weight-loss goal. I would be setting myself up for failure by trying to revamp my entire eating and exercise plan and then not being able to stick with such an extreme change.

So I’m going to try and make moderate changes and lose a small amount of weight over a long amount of time. Walk more. Drink less alcohol. Eat fewer sweets and more veggies. Nothing crazy, just small steps to make a healthier life.

17 weeks, 17 pounds. I think it’s possible.
beginning tomorrow (or Monday) I will cut out:

Icecream (especially maple almond)
Tostitos
KFC (of any kind)
blueberry muffins…(maybe once or twice I can have just one)
coleslaw
gummy bears (ok this one i’m eating is the last i swear)
fries
spare ribs
fried chicken
bacon

wish me luck
