Minor Setbacks

Well after doing my diet for two weeks, I am sad to announce that nothing changed :( My weight didn't go down, my measurements didn't change, and I am pretty disappointed about it. I know occassionally I cheated by having oatmeal here and a sugar free cookie there but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it did. Maybe I do need to get my thyroid checked or something because increasing my workouts to 7 a week and eating less didn't make any difference. On the flip side, maybe it is just taking my body that long to get used to the new regimen? I have decided to stay in Phase 1 of the diet and see where it takes me while still maintaining my workouts. This really is a demoralizing process but I need to pull it together and I will accomplish my goal.

Second Week of Diet

So far so good, this week is the last week of phase one and I believe it seems to be working. I have cheated a little bit on what I ate this weekend (two cocktails, two pieces of bread, and 3 pieces of pizza) but I will just have to make up for it this week. I get measured on Wednesday I hope to see some progress. I haven't weighed myself since last week so I don't know where I am. The running and gym workouts have been great, we are improving everyday with our runs and starting tomorrow we are going to add a half mile to our current course and maintain that for 2 weeks.
My goal is to lose 20 lbs by the end of the year and another 15 lbs the beginning of 2011. In October I am going to Las Vegas for a sorority sisters birthday and I want to have somethings to show for all my hard work.
Everything in my life seems to be going good right now, all my credit card debt is payed off, I am saving money for Vegas, DH is doing awesome with all his training, and I should be finishing ROTC in the spring, then hopefully starting law school in the fall of 2011. Right now I am enjoying working, making money, and being able to spend time with those I care about. After the Vegas trip, I am going to California to visit family and friends and go to Disneyland. Can't wait to see how everything turns out!
