Weigh in Wednesday #6 of 2017

So one of my 2017 goals is to lose 40 pounds by the end of the year. This is a necessity for me, as in the last few months I have gained 15 pounds. That is not good. I want to be healthier and feel better about myself. 

In order to keep me accountable, I am hoping to come back each Wednesday to share my weigh in and my successes and failures from the previous week. So let's hop to it and see how I did this past week, shall we?

SO HOW DID THIS WEEK GO??? 

My official starting weight (on 1/1/2017) was: 242.0 pounds!

My weight last week was: 237.2 pounds.

My weight this week is: 236.0 pounds. 

So a loss of 1.2 pounds!  :-)
Total loss from 1/1/17: 6 pounds 

I felt that I had a good week eating wise. I ate more veggies than I normally would. I have been making an egg scramble (look for the recipe on Saturday) that has been helping. I still need to get back to drinking more water. When the weather is cold though it is hard for me to really want to drink water. Anyone else have that problem?

On the exercise front, between work and kids being sick and trying to catch up on housework, last week stank. I didn't get anything in. That is the way of the world sometimes I guess. I just need to prioritize it better I guess.  

• Wednesday: Nothing
• Thursday: Nothing
• Friday: Nothing
• Saturday: Nothing
• Sunday: Nothing
• Monday: Nothing  
• Tuesday: Nothing

So there you have it. It has been a crazy week, with 2 kids being sick and being super busy trying to work and keep up with housework, etc. On weeks like these, if I can do well in one area then I feel like that is good. This past week, I didn't do too bad on the food front, so for that I am grateful. Now to just continue that momentum. I keep telling myself that I didn't gain the weight in one day, so I am not going to be losing it in one day.

If you are trying to lose weight in 2017, how is your process going?
