I have had an "on again, off again" kind of week, but I am finally making progress. I am down about 14 pounds!! I am noticing that my jeans are a tad looser, but when I look at myself I am not seeing much of a change. I have been pushing myself to stay on the treadmill longer and to jog more of the time I am on it. I have cheated on my eating several times this week, but instead of punishing myself I just got back to eating right the next meal. Today I got on the treadmill shortly after getting up, before I ate breakfast, just like my new book on weight loss says to do. I pushed though to 450 calories and stayed on for 1 hr. I do notice that if I work out before breakfast that I am not very hungry afterwards. So even though it is baby steps towards getting healthy it is working.
