down 5 more

So I weighed myself again today after one week.
I am happy to report that I lost another 5.5 pounds.
I officially weigh 255.7...WAHOO!
I feel so...accomplished.
I love the feeling of knowing I am doing something about my weight.
My goal this week is to walk 10,000 steps a day.
Yes, I am the nerd wearing around a pedometer.

Eating is a challenge for me because of my living circumstances.
I don't have many of my cooking dishes here.
We eat out or frozen foods a lot.
When I eat out I try to order the most healthy/lowest calorie option.
Or I just eat only a small portion of the meal.
When I eat frozen foods I eat a serving size that is 300 calories or less.
When you start reading labels you'll be amazed at what has loaded calories and what doesn't.
I eat fruits, yogurts, and string cheese as my staples or snack foods.

Exercise is key for me.
I've noticed the days I don't exercise I don't feel like eating as healthy.
I also feel more motivated and energized when I do exercise.

I would love to hear your measurements and weights on this blog. It's the 8th and I'm the only one who has posted this month...hint hint
