Progress

Week 3 – Aug. 24-30, 2010

This week I:
– Gained 0.6 lbs.(304.6) 🙁 My fault. Need to clean up my eating and be stronger in the face of temptation (1 cupcake, 1/2 piece of cake, lots of white bread and WAY too big portions)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– Went to the farmer’s market (wheat shell pasta, wheat fettuccine pasta, pesto and a bunch of tomatoes)
– On the plus side, I started wearing pants I’d called “too small” 6 months ago.

I still need to:
– Clean out my fridge.
– Start collecting clear/glass containers for storing stuff in the fridge to make stuff easy to identify.

I think I started to get a little complacent. If this was going to be easy I would have done it by now. I need to be more vigilant about my portion sizes and to stop eating when I’m full. I also need to stop eating sweets just because they’re available.

Ducal is coming up this weekend. I’m worried about that. I need to work out food before we go so I’m not tempted to just graze.
