So I cheated a bit today and weighed myself a little bit early.  I’m down 3 pounds. Only 7 more pounds till my mini goal.  Very excited.

 

I’ve decided that a huge problem that I have that has contributed to my weight gain has to be my portion sizes.  I feel like getting this issue under control will kind of be killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

If I take control of my food and control my food portions I will avoid eating places that I dont’ have control of the potion sizes, hence I’ll eliminate eating out. I’m thinking the will not be too hard to accomplish, mainly because a lot of the fast food that I had been eating was making me feel ill. I just would rather have food I prepare.

My biggest problem and huge downfall will to stay out of the cafe at work.  I’m not even sure what they put in a lot of the food, so it will be hard to decide how many calories I’ve consumed.  I just know I have to stay out of there.

And my next hurdle will be to get some exercise.  I figure doing something, even if its small amount of exercise it will be better than not doing anything at all. I know this will be hard to believe but I’m definitely not totally sedentary as most will probably think. Only a few years ago I had a job that I walk probably 10 hours out of my 12 hour shift.  I gained almost 60 pounds in a year when I went to a job that I probably only walk 3-4 hours out of a 12 hour shift.

So first the portion control, then a little walking for exercise and hopefully goodbye to those next 7 pounds.

 

But first, I need some sleepy.
