3 lbs down

3 pounds lighter from the first week. Doesn't seem like much until I check out how much three lbs weighs holding a weight. I am glad to have that weight off of me! Tournament in Pennsylvania this weekend so perhaps another three lbs can be shed prior to it! The less weight on me, the faster I move right?

Off to a great start!

My first post didn't seem to show, reposting it to see if this works!

One day down and on the way to achieving the weight and health that I want.  Eating out is perhaps the biggest obstacle as I spend most days networking in my regional offices (various restaurants and meeting places).  Meeting at three restaurants today and should easily ace all three.  If only every day of this challenge were this good!  One of the main reasons I chose Lighten Up is to help me on my path of reaching black belt status with my son.  Happy eating! 

Another day, another victory

Day 2: Had 3 appointments at three restaurants and managed to stay within calorie limits! Woot! Overall great day!

Day 3: Staying in the 1500 calorie range again. Italian shredded pork stew for dinner, AMAZING plus low calorie! The only thing that put me over was popcorn for my daughters princess ballerina show she put on at home. That's ok, sparring tonight should even that out and them some!
