I made it through my first week of my Body-For-Life Challenge. Honestly, it wasn't as hard on me as I thought it would be. I thought the mental aspect of it all would be the hardest part for me to overcome. I had myself convinced that I needed to drink a Coke in the mornings to wake me up, or drink one when I was stressed. I made excuses all the time for not working out, and told myself that when I did have free time, I should use it resting instead of working out or walking. And since I wasn't working out, there was no reason to eat healthy. Now, I've changed my way of thinking.
I've started out with small changes. I've quit drinking Cokes, and started drinking more water, juices, and nutritional drinks. I've replaced high-calorie, high-fat foods with lean meat, and more fruits and veggies. I am now taking vitamins. I've even began my workout regimen. It's still in the early stages, but at least I'm up and moving around!
I lot 4 pounds last week! I am really excited about my progress, as I wasn't expecting to lose that much the first week. I know I won't always lose that much, but it's a nice start and great motivation!
