New month, newer me! So since Christmas I have lost 8 pounds. Since the Fit42 Challenge began I have lost 5 pounds. It is amazing what support does. I am learning portion control. I am learning to find my motivation to get moving. I now understand the relationship between physical fitness and general wellness. And how this affects metabolism and weight measurements. I have started using a measuring tape to keep more accurate records of my progress. My waist is actually 2 inches narrower then before. Still got a long way to go. But at least I have the car on the right road.

Today's physical activity included scraping the ice off my car before coming home. What a horrible way to spend the afternoon! When you are tired after a long day at work this is just not what one needs. But I guess I should look on the bright side. I had a job to be coming home from. I had a car to eventually take me home. And I did make it safely home in order to post this blog. So life is good... if just ice cold.
Today's meal logging:
Breakfast, Cream of Wheat
Lunch, Salad greens with a few nuts, cranberries, and chicken strips
Dinner, 2 McDonald's Cheeseburgers - yes, needed a treat after scraping that ice
The problem with the treat box at work being refilled by a coworker is then I know that it has been refilled. I tried keeping it empty for awhile. Now I just need to make myself believe that it is empty. But at least I am learning portion control. This is all that I had from the box. And I am learning to be honest with myself. I logged it in my digital food journal here and in my calorie counter there.
So although today involved a few treats on a yucky day, I kept things in control. I burned 2158 calories and only consumed 1363. Yes, I have learned to look up what I eat and track that calories and other values. And did I mention that I lost another pound this morning bring me to 8 pounds less!
