Turning_Hopes_to_Habits

I just turned 42. I'm on week 3 of getting back on the horse. I joined a long time ago, slipped and stayed slipped, and am now on week 3 of trying to turn things around. I'm feeling good, but am a little hesitant to really jump in since I've failed before. But I remind myself that I quit smoking quite a few times before I quit quitting and just stayed quit, you know?

This is my first day joining the boards. I do have my diary turned off, but it seems that most people leave theirs open, so I'll probably change that setting.

I'd love to make some friends. I'm a little shy here yet, but once I get acclimated and have a little more time under my belt (ha, ha), you won't be able to shut me up!

I'm really starting off slowly, but the trade-off is that I'm enjoying myself. I'm only aiming for 1 lb. a week for this first month. That's given me a chance to add in healthy foods to substitute for less healthy foods and concentrate on changing WHAT I'm eating and on the discipline of meal planning and cooking from scratch. I've also started walking in the past week and a half and am getting used to that routine. In a little over a week, I'll shoot for two pounds a week, which will cut calories by another 500 per day I imagine.

After only three weeks, I already have more energy and I haven't had an upset stomach once since I started. I get scale-obsessed, so I'm planning on weighing myself once a month. Oddly, it's counterproductive for me to weigh myself every day.

So, that's me. 42 years old, was 268 my first day three weeks ago, and am trying to keep expectations low and concentrate on how good hope feels. At least when we're trying we feel optimistic and hopeful and have something to look forward to. So much better than feeling defeated all the time. So, here I am .... again .... and I'd forgotten how nice it feels to be making progress. Here's to us! :flowerforyou:
