Week 2

Well ladies, self control was no where to be found this week! Hopefully it was because he was so busy at your houses he forgot to visit mine. ;) It was a pretty bad week... let's just say, I had my cake and ate it too, several times! That is the bad news.

Now for the good news. Despite my terrible week (I don't think there was one day where I didn't eat after 7, made cookies 3x and exercised maybe once), I did not gain any weight! Of course, none was lost, but I am very thankful that I maintained in inches and weight.

I have made a new goal for myself this week. I find that sometimes when I look at the end goal it can be a little discouraging. I have to lose 60 lbs! It's a little overwhelming. SO, I have made a short term goal. I would like to lose 15 lbs by my birthday in 7 weeks. I can do 15 lbs! My husband and I are planning a get away for that weekend (since this weekend for our 10 year anniversary will not be possible) and I'd like to be slimmed down enough to fit into some of the more attractive outfits I have in smaller sizes.

SO here are my goals this week:

Do not eat after 7 pm
Drink lots and lots of water
Eat less and move more

My challenge for each of you, is to set a short term goal w/ a reward at the end... new outfit, trip to the hair-dresser, special night out, whatever motivates you! If you reward yourself periodically, I find it's a little easier to keep it up.

Have a good week ladies!
