I am one week into this challenge and am down 2 pounds on the scale which is encouraging! Still have a ways to go, but am feeling motivated still at this point. I attended classes 5 days last week at Sslsa City, increased my daily water intake, and have been more mindful of food choices and portion sizes. I’ve also found it’s so much easier for me to stick to routines on weekdays when I’m busier than on weekends when I have more time available (to eat, lol!). I didn’t eat out at all last week which saved both money and calories.. I’ve also needed a wake up call on portion sizes as my idea of a serving size is usually waayyy off base 😂
I should keep it real by saying I’ve started out strong in the past before with weight loss and then let my motivation fizzle after a week or two, so it’s still taking a big daily effort to stay with this.
Anyone else care to share how their first week has gone and any pointers that have been working for you?
I’m sorry I missed this earlier! Eating eggs, Greek yogurt, and coffee are def staples for me. Also I wake up waxh morning to freshly squeezed lemon juice which I know I really like and have heard it can boost your metabolism but I’m not sure if it has but I do like at string my kidneys out with something really Good for cleansing! But the other three things reeeeally help me with appetite control as they are so filling and full of protein and the coffee is just a good suppressant while I’m in my fasting-ish window lol but seriously the days that I don’t have eggs or I run out of Greek yogurt I almost always end the day feeling hungry and reach for something more carbs because those cravings haven’t been abated with those other proteins. If I eat at least one of those each day I’m satisfied: but all that being said idk what you’re talking about you look fabulous! 😅🥰
