I wanted to give the update about my resolution to lose a pound a week. This week was my first time to fail on that goal (damn Super Bowl party). I gained .6 lb (I like the precision of our scale). I am glad I built in a safety clause to the goal, giving myself 12 weeks in the year to not lose a pound, so I don't have to give up on the whole goal because of this one defeat. But overall, January was a great month (I know I have to give some credit to my "-itis"-filled adventure in Korea). I lost 12 lbs. from Jan 1 to today. I think cutting out soda and beer was a huge part of this. As Jillian from Biggest Loser says, "We never want to drink our calories, people." I don't expect as big of numbers the rest of the year and expect I'll have to work harder for the pounds I do lose. I haven't exercised as much as I would like - partly because of the weather, partly because of figuring out the new semester's schedule. But with only one car I have done a lot more walking, which is a great thing.
So, my goal for this week is to be more careful with what I eat, get a little more exercise, and take off that 6/10s of a pound (plus one)!
