Week 1 is done!

Woohoo I competed my first week. It was def a challenge in regards to getting started but I am glad I started. In the first week I lost 8.2 pounds, that's amazing! I understand not every week will be like that and I always tend to lose a lot of weight right off the bat then I slow down. I have been sticking to my food plan and staying on track. The one thing I think has kept me on track is writing EVERYTHING down in my food journal, this way I know what I've already eaten and what I have left to eat. I like to fill it out the day before and plan my meal for the following day so I know I have everything on hand. I can't wait until I can start to feel/see the results vs just the numbers on the scale, can't wait until my appearance starts to change. My husband has promised me a shopping spree for new clothes when I meet my goal....I have a long ways to go but I am going to hold him to that promise. Here's hoping that week 2 goes just as great!
