Weight Loss

It has been 3 weeks since I started my "get healthy" goal. I must say I'm quite proud of myself. All I'm doing is counting calories, writing down what I eat, and going to the gym 1-3 times a week for about a half hour each time.

At first, it was rough. I had a hard time staying away from the junk. I got super close to my calorie limit for the day, but I still stayed under. A couple times, I went over, but the circumstances were unavoidable.

As the weeks went by, I started feeling satisfied with the food I ate and I didn't feel such a strong need to binge and snack. Though I still have unhealthy cravings that I indulge in, I'm finding it easier and easier to stay well below my calorie limit. On days I go to the gym, I burn about 350 calories and while home, I'll eat maybe 200 calories per meal. By the end of the day, my net calories would only be 250 which is about 25% of my calorie limit for the day.

Thusfar, I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. My goal is to lose a total of 30 pounds by Thanksgiving. Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it's possible. Woot!
