Carrie Walker - Weeks 2 and 3

I have been hit and miss the last couple of weeks due to my daughter being sick and me being sick. But I've managed to get a little exercise in, but not a whole lot. Most week days, I've managed to at least get 20 minutes of brisk walking in on my breaks, but other than that I've only made it to the gym twice. I must be doing something right though because I have been losing inches (though I'm not sure about weight because I don't have a scale at home, only one at the gym - which I can't seem to get to!)

Week #1: Update, Carrie W.

My First Week:

Since I hadn't really come up with a HEP and I'm not really sure this constitutes one, but I really hate to limit my eating when I first start to try to lose weight. This may seem counterproductive, but if I tell myself I can't eat something I want it. Typically I start out by working out quite a bit (though this is the first time I've really tried since having a child, so I don't have as much time) and then gradually start not eating certain foods. The main thing for my HEP at this point is that I'm avoiding soda/carbonated beverages/pop (whatever you call it - I prefer calling it "soda"). We are also staying at home for our meals and making our own food, so even though it isn't low fat we are trying to eat foods that are better for us because we are making them at home and not eating fast food.
