Only the Beginning

So I weighed in today at 270.6, that's down 6.6 pounds from Monday! Yay! This week I really focused on writing down all of my food in a food journal that I drug around with me in my purse. It seemed to help. I am also doing the 21 day Vegan Jump start diet, or I should say my version of this diet. Vegan is a little extreme for me, and the only dairy I've had this week is a little Parmesan cheese on my whole wheat spaghetti, mushroom and spinach spaghetti sauce. I did have a little sushi on Thursday, this is what I mean by "my own version". I feel great! I have not felt sluggish all week long and I have had great energy and decent sleep. I think cutting out dairy has really helped me with my energy level. I haven't done a whole lot of exercise this week, I went swimming once, but I'm hoping that next week I will be able to work this in. I've got to start using the Wii fit or Dustin is going to kill me, besides the Wii is super fun.

Goals for next week:
Exercise at least 3 times
Continue journaling
Keep with my own version of 21 day kick start!

  2. Carrie, are you also tracking on Livestrong or just in your notebook?

  3. That is AWESOME Carrie! Go you!

    I think that modifying the vegan 21 thing is great. That way it fits into your life and you're more likely to feel good about it and stick with it. I'm glad that it seems to be helping! I agree, when I don't eat dairy, I lose weight faster (although the medical background in me is saying make sure to take a calcium supplement).

    And sushi - yum. I think that's what we're doing tonight. :)
