4 weeks later...

I know I have discontinued by food and exercise logs - they proved to be a bit tedious and my internet access hasn't been all that reliable. Jeff and I will be going to the beach to celebrate our 5th anniversary this weekend so I doubt that I will be strictly counting points until next Thursday. I really have been counting although I haven't been journalling.

Today marks 4 weeks since I began this new diet. It has been a rough 4 weeks with very little weight loss. I really feel like my body is resisting this every step of the way. As of today I have lost a total of 3.6 lbs in 4 weeks. I still have 21.6 lbs to lose - that's still a lot. My exercise for the first 2 weeks was great - 4 times a week. I also only lost 1.6 lbs in those first 2 weeks. Then I fell on my stinkin' knee and haven't been able to run. I will start back at the gym this week and hopefully be running while we are at the beach.

Anyway - Just wanted to post my 4 week update. My entries will most likely be weekly updates with possibly some challenges and highlights during the week. Stay tuned...

Log for Tuesday, October 24th

Notes on yesterday: I feel myself really falling off of the diet. Yesterday was a HORRIBLE eating day - so much so that I didn't even finish my food log. I am just really stressed out right now and it is taking it's toll since I am truly an emotional eater. Hopefully today will be a new day and I can get back on track. If I would lose some weight then I would have at least a little motivation but my weight is basically staying the same or going up...very frustrating.

Notes on yesterday: I felt like yesterday was a little out of control but, after writing it all down, I don't think I did too bad.
