The First 21 days: Progress Report
Well, I think it was kstubblefield who mentioned that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so I figured now would be as good a time as any to do a roundup of the last 3 weeks and see how I've come along so far.
Starting Dress Size: 16
Current Dress size: 14
Starting weight: 200.5
Current weight: 191
Total loss: 9.5 pounds
Average calories per day: 1260
Average nutrient ratio C/F/P: 46/32/22
C25K program progress: Week 3
30 Day Shred progress: Week 2
I am feeling pretty positive about my progress. I don't really fear 'falling off the wagon' or anything, and the grocery store isn't scary anymore (I used to get uncontrollable cravings for bread and sauces and heavy food when I was there, not to mention ice cream and chocolate.) The chocolate craving is still there, but it's manageable.
Out of 21 days, I wasn't in complete control for 3 days of them, which is pretty good for just starting out I think. The best part was that on the weekend, when I wasn't completely in control of what I was eating, I still exercised portion control pretty well. It was weird but awesome to go home that night and input my estimated calories and they still weren't that bad.
These next few weeks I'm going to still count calories, which was the hardest part of the first part but is now becoming pretty routine, and instead push myself to exercise more frequently and more meaningfully. The last 21 days have caused me to rethink a lot of my priorities and now one of the most important goals I have isn't being thin and fragile but to be healthy and strong, whatever that looks like. I think that's a step in the right direction.
I really think I couldn't have done these important 21 days without the support of my buddies on here. Thank you so much for making what I used to be ashamed to admit I needed to do a fun and exciting mission! I can't wait for all of us to reach our goals and help the next group of people reach their goals as well. :)
