Week 1(ish): Down 6.2 lbs!

Week 1(ish): -6.2 lbs!

Pretty good start for a first week, though that is usually the biggest (shocking your system and all). I did really well on my gym commitment, too!

Keys to this week:

1. Going to the gym three times. I want to go more, but it's a very solid start.
2. Resisting the booze damage during Birthday Season kickoff weekend. I only had two drinks on Friday and two on Saturday. Less beer = less beer bellies.
3. Thinking before eating. "Do I really want a hamburger - or will a turger burger be just as good for less calories?" "If I order a side salad, I can always steal one or two of Nick's fries to satisfy my craving without eating a whole pile."
4. Competition. Made a bet with Steve. Loser buys dinner in June.

New things to try this week:

1. Vinyasa Yoga class at BSC.
2. Recipes from Fitness magazine (will post on how it goes!).
3. Minimizing booze damage during Birthday Season
