ThickFit Weigh In

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on my fitness goals.  As many of you have already read, I weighed a little more than 197 pounds at the beginning of my journey.  Since then, I have been a bad girl, indulging in unhealthy foods as I celebrated my fiancé's birthday as well as my own.  I spent an entire week (from July 15th - July 21st) binging on steak, pasta, fried foods, cake, ice cream, and the list goes on.  Definitely not a great idea when you are trying to lose weight.  I'm pretty sure my body hates me right now!

Even after this gluttonous period I managed to drop a couple of pounds.  I weighed myself this morning, and was so excited.  I am down 3 pounds!!! Yay me!  

In order to reach my goal weight, I intend to be more disciplined.  I am going to continue to workout 3-4 times a week but I am also going to increase the amount of time that I spend at the gym.  The biggest struggle that I will focus on is watching what I eat and limiting my portions. 

So exactly how did I lose the weight?

I honestly thought that I would have put on more weight after all of my bad eating habits.... so it beats me.  What I have done though was exercise and limited my consumption of juice and pop (soda). The Elliptical has become my new best friend; I burned over 500 calories in about 35 minutes. Hopefully with the added component of portion control, I will drop the rest of the pounds more quickly.
