One week in to my new new eating and exercise plan

Drum roll please  . . . . . .

Last week on Monday my weight was 220. This morning it's a definite and official 216!!
(I'm also starting to track my waist measurement - one inch below my belly button - today it's 44".)

Four pounds!! I have a lot to lose so I know that although I can pull off 4 pounds a week for awhile, I won't be able to do that as I get closer to my goal weight. I am very happy to make what is significant progress down a very long road.

So, in addition to everything I outlined below, I threw in a 24 hour fast over the weekend. Had only coffee on Saturday morning and didn't eat until Sunday morning.

My calories all week averaged about 1250. Exercise was:

M - Walked 1 hour
T - Walked 1 hour
W - Walked 1 hour
Th - nothing :(
F - Walked 1 hour
S - Biked 1 hour
S - Biked 1 hour alone, then 3 hours with family

So, very happy with the results. I'm also learning more and more how to avoid wasteful calories and not give in to temptation. At this point, I don't want to risk my progress by giving myself a reward. Not yet.
