Discipline
So yesterday, the plan was to have homemade pizza for lunch and a light supper.
The plan did NOT work. I did have pizza for lunch. Homemade. Whole wheat crust. homemade tomato sauce. Sausage. Cheese. 3 small slices.
then, I had 2 more slices for dinner.
too much pizza, too many calories ... and now, no pizza left for today.
and, I'm weighing-in at 176.5 -- the same as last Monday, despite having gone down in weight all the way to 174.
Now, if I lose 2 to 2.5 pounds this week, I'll just be right back where I was last Saturday.
Discipline is key.

Today's Weight
I LOST 1.5 pounds since yesterday.
The intense workout and higher protein/lower calorie supper clearly helped.
I'm on the right path... and heading toward 170, which is my short-term goal.

How I'm getting smaller...
This is my blog.
I am overweight.
I weigh 176 pounds.
I know, that doesn't seem like a lot...but i have higher than normal cholesterol and elevated blood sugar.
So, i'm losing. 10 pounds or more to start.
And exercising.
Each day I will post my morning weigh-in weight. And I'll try my best to post my meals each day.
Plus, I'll let you know what kind of exercise I'm doing.
So, today, I weighed 176.
So far, I've eaten two Kashi GoLean blueberry waffles, a bag of Orville Reddenbacher's Kettle Korn popcorn, a glass of cranberry juice (100% juice, no sugar added), a caramel latte (non-fat milk) and 5 circus peanuts.
