EveryDayQB Challenge: Week Five Update

I’m back on track! I lost 2lbs this week, down from 270lbs to 268lbs. It feels good to be under 270 and working towards my goal of 245 by August 1. I think it had a lot to do with a disciplined eating schedule this past week. While I didn’t spend a lot of time in the gym, I was out in the wilderness and doing physical labor around the house, so that must have helped. I was triumphantly disciplined this weekend at a camp retreat that I spent some time at, there were opportunities for brownies and smores and I passed on both of them! (Although I did have a few cups of hot chocolate).

I will post the list of foods I have eaten this week (as promised) later today!

Keeping track of what i have been eating as helped to be more aware in the evenings when I have had a tendancy to overeat. Furthermore, knowing the approximate amount of calories I have consumed has been helping. I have also tried to ‘graze’ every 2-3 hours with lower calorie foods like carrots, apples and yogurt, and in doing so curb my hunger around meal times. As I have done so, I’ve found that I am craving less and less those other ‘sweets’ that add many calories and pounds that I don’t need and am trying to eliminate.

So now, the next step is still to get into a regular workout routine to be healthy and balanced. I keeping telling myself that ‘starting tomorrow’ and I’ll begin. Well the final time I make that statement is today! I will try posting my workout schedule on here as well to see if that externally motivates me to work out when I’m feeling tired and lazy.

Thanks for reading and for all of your support!
