There was a change in the number on the scale today. Even though the game started today, I started my calorie restriction yesterday. I don't trust the first drop in weight until it has been consistent at that weight (or close) for a few days. I tend to retain water so my weight usually fluctuates -+5lbs.
I ate more than yesterday (very light breakfast, small lunch and regular dinner with a little dessert). I am still under my calorie goal for the day. I feel happy that I was able to eat a little more than yesterday without going over my calories. **Thank you vegetables for your low calories :)**
I went on a long walk with the dogs. The weather was beautiful after work. I reached all my goals on my fitbit and I am proud of that. I wish every day were like yesterday and I could reach my fitbit goals by 7pm. I will try a little harder tomorrow.
I am very excited to be doing this game. I know that 4% of my weight in a month is an attainable goal. I need to take one day at a time and sometimes I need to focus on each minute, each half hour and each hour to make sure I continue making smart decisions.
I did not do well with my water intake today. It is so hard for me to drink water at the office. I do slightly better at home but I am not even close to my goal.
To succeed I need to do 4 things: stay under your calorie goal, meet or exceed fitness goals as per Fitbit, meet water goal and get enough sleep.
- I will try to do beter tomorrow.
