My unofficial weigh in this Monday morning is 163.8. While this is great news, and what most would consider healthy weight loss, I can't help but feel a tad bummed when I read that other members in the group have already lost 6 lbs in their first week. If I made that much progress, I would already have won my part of the diet bet. Then I have to remind myself that my weightloss issues are not their weightloss issues. They may have more to loose than I do. My loss is not insignificant. I only have 5 lbs to go. I've been drinking more water this week, and stayed away from the soda. I have made some great headway in eating healthier and cooking more. I have increased my cardio. So, rather than looking at others' results, I am going to focus on what will help me continue loosing weight.
Goals
I am going to incorporate more weightlifting into my workouts. Cardio alone isn't going to cut it.
I still need to work on upping my veggie and fruit intake. I rely on carbs too much.
While I made progress with the sugars, I still need to watch it- I had a bottle of smart water at a movie instead of soda, but that thing had 39 g of sugar.
I need to keep up with the food logs- I did not track my weekend very well.
