The First Week

Well, I have no complaints about week 1.
I'm thrilled to be heading the right way... weight-wise, exercise-wise, health-wise.
I learned that I need Vitamin D, exercise, and to just continue with a positive attitude.  I know that the first week I went nutz keeping to a very reduced calorie intake (no appetite helped).
 
This week: I want to lighten up a bit on my food choices.  I will include more "usual" foods on occassion, knowing my weight loss won't be as dramatic as week one anyway.  I will continue with focusing on training for my trail race April 25.  And I think...I may try not to weigh daily.  I'm not sure about that though.
I noticed last night that my appetite has returned a bit.  So "thinking" about portions and desires is more prominent.  I think it is more "real".  If it gets to be too difficult to restrain, though, it may be time to up the pill dosage (I'm at half a pill).
 
Goals for next week:
Weight loss
Continue exercise 4-5 days a week
Most days great food choices (allow for some "not so great" food choices)
 
Strategies:
Take multi-vitamin, additional Vitamin D and meds.
Stick to my workout spreadsheet plan (excel is wonderful)
Focus on veggies, proteins, and fruits.  Work in carbs twice a day only. 
Continue with eating every three hours.
 
Let's see if this works.

Hehe!

You know...I've been reading so much about Vitamin D these days.  If you're deficient, it can affect your mood, aches and pains, and weight loss.  Hmmmm..... Glad you were able to find out about your deficiency.  Now you can "fix" it. 
 
Sounds like you have a really solid plan going.  Keep up the great work and stop by my blog anytime.

great

sounds like you're doing nicely so far. be sure to keep your diet full of normal foods...cheeses, proteins, fruits, veggies, and the occasional sensible treat. you will set yourself up for failure by restricting food intake too much.
awesome job! and don't weigh yourself every day. weight fluctuates so much daily, that it's not a good indicator of where you are really at.
