A first month recap

Well so far so good. I've lost 7.2 pounds so far and am 2.8 pounds away from the 10lb marker. Things have been going very well. I've been in control of my eating, even during a few difficult challenges. It feels good to be in control.

Note to self: Things to do!
1. Watch the veggies and fruits. You need to eat more of these. Hit the 5 servings per day everyday that is your goal.
2. Drink your water. Again be consistent and drink those glasses of water every day.
3. Work out more. The ankle has been hindering this effort but a little will go a long way. So walking even a little more will be great!

Note to self: The things you did!
1. You've been tracking every day. Keep it up, this will help keep you from the mindless snacking that adds up. Each point counts and if you continue to track you will stay within your points totals even during those surprise dinners or events with friends.
2. Being positive. You know you can do this and you remind yourself everyday.
3. You lost 7.2 pounds! You're steadily getting yourself back on track and you are closer to your 10 lb mark and even closer to your 10% mark.
4. Pack you lunch and snacks at work. You've been really good at making sure you are prepared with snacks at work.
5. Make healthy choices when eating out. The points counting has helped you maximize the points by choosing healthier places to eat out!

So month one was a huge success. November will start to see more challenges as the holiday parties and dinners start to get scheduled.
