Week 57: Three Big Steps Forward

I was pretty excited when I stepped on the scale this morning. This is the third week in a row that I've lost weight, this time almost a pound. Ya baby! I feel like I've taken three big steps forward. Yes, I know the step back is coming, but I'm OK with that.

What's working? Well, I continue to keep track of my consumption and stay within my daily allotted calorie totals. I'll be honest that some days I go slightly over, but I try to offset those by going slightly under the next day.

I just need to keep up the discipline. The hard thing about weight loss is that the process never stops. Now that I've been smoke free for almost two years, I rarely think about smoking. However, I think about food every day, morning, noon, and night. So, although quitting smoking was tough, this diet thing is even tougher.

I give a lot of credit to those who have lost weight and kept it off. It takes a true lifestyle change and ongoing discipline to achieve that. Cheers to you!
