So far I have not last a pound :( , fell off the wagon a bit over the weekend but managed to drag myself up out of bed before work 5 days in a row! So all in all, not so bad of a week, I can't expect anything major to happen just yet!

This week I plan to:

Snack on all the "healthy" snack foods I bought over at Trade Joe's this week rather than not eat snacks until I binge at lunch (studies show maintaining a constant blood sugar level and keeping your metabolism constantly burning is most effective).

Continue to wake up to squeeze in 20 min of exercise before work each morning.

Stop eating when I feel about 80% full.

Eat more grains, chicken, fish, and veggies but sneak in a small treat here and there, because no one lasts on a super restrictive diet since you want what you can't have more in the end anyway. For example, Weight Watchers breakfast sandwich and coffee, apple and peanut butter for a snack, sandwich and whole wheat pretzels for lunch, whole wheat pasta and chicken for dinner and a ONE small cookie for dessert as a treat.

STOP STRESSING! I have a stressful job and often bring it home with me. It affects my son, my husband and me, and my weight. So I am evaluating that in itself but also going to bed earlier and taking deep breaths more often.

Current weight: 131 lbs

Goal weight: 120 lbs (I'm 5'2", so this is actually ok for me).

Keep checkin back for updates, ladies, and maybe this will work for you too.
