2 weeks is up

Well folks, it's been 2 weeks since I started my "Lose 2 Inches in 2 Weeks" dealio. And the result!.....Drum roll please!!!!!!!!!!!.............

I don't even think I lost half of an inch. Now, now. Before you start saying "See..those stupid things never work," I would like to make a confession. The first week I did EXCELLENT. I wouldn't eat one itsy bitsy scrap I wasn't supposed to. I walked 30 minutes (sometimes 60 minutes) every single day for that week, and I completed the exercises I was supposed to do every other day. I was forcing myself to eat the foods that I would rather skip and everything. It was quite a challenge let me tell ya. Now the second week is when it started going downhill. I allowed myself to have different foods that were low in fat and mostly ignored the foods I was supposed to eat. I didn't walk every day like I should have, and I skipped my exercising. I guess after one week of "torture," I let myself slide a little bit (or a lot).

I did, however, get something out of this. I have been better at choosing what kinds of foods I eat and better at eating smaller portions. I find myself getting full quicker! After not having bad foods for a while, I don't even have a desire to eat fast food. Like tonight--I went to McDonald's with a couple people and chose not to order anything even though I had already officially "quit" the program (I hate saying diet). I haven't been eating as often. I find myself wanting to take walks now insted of feeling I have to. So I guess there were some benefits--even if I didn't lose the 2 inches I was hoping for.

We all know the saying.

LIFE GOES ON......
