Week 6: -1.6 TOTAL: -13.8
I'm really settling in. It's feeling like a lifestyle change! Yay! I'm happy to report a loss this week, but guess what? My points target dropped a point again! Darn... So now I'm down to 29 daily points. Good thing I still get the 49 extra weekly points and my activity points I earn if I choose to use them. I can have plenty of food for 29 points, though.
This week I was challenged most mentally when it came to exercise. I ran 20 minutes on the treadmill without stopping on Saturday! It was awesome. But then Monday I tried again.....and it just seemed really hard. I made it the 20 minutes, but mentally I was REALLY challenged. It just shows me how hard I need to work mentally to tell myself I can do things. My body is ready. My mind is doubtful! But I did 20 minutes two times this week. My goal this week is to do it three times this week and add in ONE day of kettlebell. Just a short workout. I still have some beginner workout routines my sister sent me. Gonna check those out one day this week.
After my visit to the doc last week, I'm trying to incorporate more whole grains. I've known all along it's better for me, but I'm actually seeking to do it more now. I bought brown jasmine rice. Gonna stick with whole wheat pasta from now on. Gonna try to make an all whole-wheat bread and maybe even bagels! I won't be doing this all this week, but I'm slowly transitioning to all whole grains and many more veggies!
How did everybody else do this week???

Amy - this is the first chance I've had to read your blog and I just have to say that I am so proud of you!! You are doing an amazing job and I can't wait to read more about your ongoing journey! Can you share some of the low point dinners you are making that the family also enjoys? I'd love to something new and healthy.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again, it really is ALL mental. Your body can do ANYTHING. It wants to serve you. But your MIND wants to slow you down and hold you back. When you can push those "I cant" thoughts out of your head, then the possibilities will truly be endless :)
