MEASURING UP

It's been one month since I started on my quest of losing 100 pounds, eating healthier and exercising. How did I measure up?  To be very honest, it's not been an easy road to travel.  I think it's going to take a long time to change at 55 year habit.  I'll be doing really good, staying on track, when out of the blue I will be eating a cookie or cracker or something that I really don't need.  I get so upset when I give into my weakness.  It's not that a cookie or a cracker will harm me.  It's just that I really FEEL like I'm out of control, when I eat something that I really don't want to.   When in actuality, I am still in control, I'm just making poor choices.
Now that I have the 'feeling sorry for myself' rant done, lets go onto my successes for January.
~I've only given into those moments of weakness 4 or 5 times.  This is really a big step up for me.  In the past this would be an everyday occasion.
~Most days I've drank all the water in that I need to drink. That is a lot of water!
~The one thing I'm most proud of is that I haven't skipped one planned day of exercising.  I exercise 6 days a week, only taking off Sundays.
~I lost a total of 22 pounds & 7 inches.
When all has been said and done, It has been a successful month.  I know that February will not bring the same results, but I'm okay with that.  I keep in mind my starting goals, 5 pounds a month.  Slow & steady wins the race.
