Week 1 is finished

Week one is over and I weighed in today. I was actually shocked to have lost any weight at all, but I did--1 1/2 pounds. Not alot, but certainly better than nothing.

I'm still trying to follow the 8 keys to eating from "Thin Within" and still reading the book. I really like the book, but I'm struggling with not having any "rules" to follow. It seems too simple to just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm satisfied. I guess that's how God intended it to be though.

Today I had cereal for breakfast; shrimp & fries for lunch; and chicken and rice soup for supper.
I'm getting tired of cereal every morning, so next week I need to alternate with some other breakfast foods. I only ate about 1/2 of my food at lunch, but I was still too full.

Next week, I want to cut out more sugar (soft drinks, tea). I don't know that I'll completely give them up, but I do want to drastically limit them. I plan to continue following Thin Within and hope for a bigger weight loss. I know that I over ate several times this week while we were away, plus ate the donuts:) I also plan to start exercising next week; didn't have the energy today.
