So it has been two weeks since my first post and so far I am successful. I have lost 4.6 pounds. I am very happy with the that. That lose comes mostly just from not eating after supper. Instead I have just been drinking water. Lots and lots of water. Seems to be helping. This week my challenge to myself is to do at least 15 minutes of exercise a day. Whether that is skipping rope or using my elipitcal while I watch tv or just lifting weights while I sit on the couch. Something has to be better than nothing. We shall see what the results are at the next weigh in. I tell ya, even though it has only been two weeks of changing the way I eat and the way I think about food, I feel so much better. It is amazing how good you can feel and how much more energy I have. It is addicting.
Be back soon.

p.s. I read one of the best quotes the other day. I can't remember who said it but it goes "Don't reward yourself with food. You're not a dog." So true. Especially for me, when I am trying to lose weight I always say...'once I lose 5 pounds I will reward myself with _______ (fill in favourite snack here). Now I am going to reward myself with weight lose not food.
Have a great week!
