Week 1: I Really Did Try

I'm going to be completely honest. I don't think that this was the right time for me to decide that I wanted to try lose weight. Meaning that with the Labor Day holiday and a few of my family members coming into town, I should have held off until this week. At this point in my quest for a healthier lifestyle I'm wasn't strong enough to be unwavering against the temptation of barbecue and all kinds of cakes and cookies. I probably drank a gallon of soda, ate I don't know how many bags of chips, and snacked on at least four candy bars. I did manage to squeeze a little fruit into the menu ... it just had a little whipped cream on top. Exercise was absolutely out of the question. The only exercise that I have been doing so far, is the walk from the kitchen to the dining room table. I know that 80% of getting in shape mental. I'm going to have to do better. We'll see what happens in week 2.
