Ten in 10 Week 2

Hope you have had a good week. How did you do for week 2 of Ten in 10? I didn't do so well. I failed big time. Notice there is no list of foods I had or how much I walked. Yeah it was bad. I went way off this week. I'm happy to say that tomorrow is another day and a brand new week! I have 8 weeks to get back on this train and lose weight! For week 1 I ate better. I had salads for lunch, cut back on food intake, and walked. During this past week I didn't do hardly any of those. I ate junk food, didn't walk at all, and ate what I wanted. I think part of the reason I failed is that during week 1 I had a root canal. I couldn't eat much for about 5 days and what I could eat was nasty soft foods. It helped me lose 5 pounds during that first week but then when I could eat normal foods I just stuffed them in. I craved them. Like I said before I'm happy that tomorrow is a new day and a new week. A chance to start fresh! That is just what I'm going to do!

Here is my plan for week 3:

• Go back to having a salad at lunch. Put some turkey or chicken on it, a few nuts, and a boiled egg.
• Start walking again. I felt so much better when I was moving.
• Tuesday I'm joining a weight loss challenge group. This will be my fourth. I have gotten 2nd and 3rd place before and now I want to be 1st! I know I can do it! I just have to set my mind on it and go!
• Keep a food diary to post next week.

One new thing I did this week was to add a weight loss counter at the bottom of my blog. I have to say I didn't want to put it up. I think having it there where the world (and me) can see it will help encourage me to want to get this weight off so I can take that thing down!

I didn't want to get on my scale this week but I did. I knew I hadn't lost any weight. I could feel it. I was right. I gained 2 pounds. Yuck! This next week I want to get those back off and lose some more! I hope you all have a great week and good luck!
