This past week was my first major obstacle as I traveled away from the comforts of home cooked (controlled) food and to Los Angeles for the week. I did the best I could throughout the entire week making sure to watch my calories and what I eat while being able to exercise on the treadmill (35 minutes of brisk walking) 4 out of the 7 days. Unfortunately when I stepped on the scale last night I had only lost one pound, making my weight 354.
Needless to say I was pretty discouraged last night. I thought I had done really good and the hard I put in was for 1 pound. My first reaction was this cannot be right so an hour later I got back on to see the same result. Discouragement set in for the rest of the night.
Not wanting to get down to far I woke up this morning and shrug off the discouragement and kept going. As I told Jenny I feel so much better over the course of the last couple of weeks (due to the way I am eating) so I know I have to be doing something correctly. 8 pounds in two weeks is just fine for me. I am changing my life - not trying to win The Biggest Loser.
This week I am in town and will hopefully be joining Gold's Gym and be able to establish a solid workout routine. Next week I am back on the road to Boston, but only for 3 days. Hopefully I can continue the workouts and continue down the road of changing my life.
Thank you all for the continued support and encouragement - it is relaly what keeps me going through this all.
