The old lady's still hangin' on

Well, it took me a while to figure out how to post again, but here I am and yes I'm still sticking to my diet.

The fourth was hard, as you all mentioned, but while everyone was bar-b-queing steak, I was eating chicken and green salads. No potato salad for me, uh-huh! But I have to admit I did sneak a handful or two of carmel popcorn. I didn't think it was too bad.

I've also been exercising very regularly. I even got my running distance up to 1 mile then walk a block and run 3/4 of a mile. Not bad for a starter. I think I'm taking Saturday's off of exercising so I am looking forward to the weekend. For me it's the eating thing that I can't loosen up on.

Good idea Jill about writing everything down, I eat without even thinking about it and this will make me more aware.

My goals for the coming week are-Cleanse half days every other day and keep my total calorie intake at around 1000 calories. I am not weighing each week either, that bumms me out when I haven't lost as much as I think I deserve to. So I'll weigh after the first 2 weeks and then see how things are going.

Keep it up girls, you are keeping me motivated.
