Non-scale victory of the week!
I started an exercise plan. I'm cautiously optimistic. We will see what happens.
What do you feel you could have done better this week?
Not eat the Danish Krinkle and bag of Lindor Chocolates. That being said, I acknowledged it and moved on instead of wallowing in shame and guilt, which always leads further failure.

Some of my older clothes are fitting better. Still a little tight, but not ridiculously tight now. Lol
What do you feel you could have done better this week?
Exercise. I say that every week. I'm not perfect with my eating, but I make an effort. Exercise takes more effort. 1. You have to fit in into your schedule. 2. It sucks when you first start. Everything hurts, the experience is dreadful. 3. Inertia. A body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion, unless others acted upon by an outside force. I need to be that outside force, but I need to be at a place where I WANT to do it or it won't stick. That being said, I'm fortunate in that I used to be in shape so I know the amazing benefits. The flip side of that coin is when I start a regimine I realize how out of shape I am in, and how long and hard it will be to get back there. But is IS worth it. So I need to be my own outside force and get my butt off the couch.

Girls weekend last weekend. Ate all weekend, but made decent choices and didn't stuff myself too much. Didn't gain a gazillion pounds like I was expecting.
What do you feel you could have done better this week?
Ate poorly a few too many times. Didn't exercise as much as I should have. I did some considerable walking but tapered off on the stretching.

Add in cardio exercise towards the end of the week. Try and figure out a routine for some elements (stretching).

Clothes are fitting better, face slimmed down a bit, I'm not feeling deprived, and I have more energy.
What do you feel you could have done better this week?
More exercise. I did stretch, and I'm enjoying that, but I need to start adding the dreaded cardio in.

More stretching (get a exercise ball to work on my upper back), add cardio in, vary my diet a bit more (try some new dishes, add fruit as a snack).

Non-scale victory of the week!
There were a few small victories this week but I didn't meet any of my goals. I did pass up junk food this week. I wasn't hungry and didn't want it, so that was good. I was also good about getting enough fiber.
What do you feel you could have done better this week?
I should have met my goals, and didn't. I was decent about only eating when hungry until the end of the week, but then all that peopling added up and I started emotionally eating (to relieve stress and decompress/shed everyone else's energy). I think I need to try keeping it more simple. Pick one goal, one simple goal a week, and then slowly add new things over time. This week, stretching once a day.

Long-term goal weight
150 lbs
What do you find most challenging in reaching your long-term weight loss goals?
To lose weight the proper way there is no instant gratification, no quick fix. I want to wave a magic wand and be thin and in shape again, but alas it's going to take a lifestyle change in regards to food and exercise. My health is worth it though. So onward I go. Slow and steady wins the race.
