Week One

Oh me! Well it has been a hard, interesting week. I never knew how much I really ate until I started looking at the calories and figured out that I shouldn't be eating that anymore. I started a My Fitness Pal account and it has actually helped me more than anything. All I have to do is log in how much I eat and how much I exercise and it calculates everything for me. In one week, I have lost 4 lbs. Those were the hardest 4 lbs. of my life I think. I had told a few people that if I didn't lose like 10 lbs. within the first week I was just going to quit. Well, I'm not. I can't. In one week, I have learned how to count my calories and to not starve myself. I even learned that I don't have to give up everything that is good. I can still fit good food into my diet. I have a lot of support that I never really knew I had, and for that I am truly grateful. Let's pray and hope I lose more than 4 lbs this next week :) I sure am trying. I know this is a shorter post but I hope to update by midweek this next time. Thanks everyone for reading and supporting me as I continue my "Journey to a Dream."
