Weekly update - 1/14/2008
The scale moved this week, so I am happy. I think I could of managed more weight loss but my eating habits were not that good & my exercise again was non-existent. My husband had an interesting observation this past week… he said,
Vilma, you are NOT going to do good - your heart is not in it.”
He was right. I really don’t know why though, I mean - I know my stuff, I know WHY I have to get fit & healthy but my actions are not showing that. I have & feel this need to eat junk food… it’s like I crave it now and it SCARES me.
On a good note… I’ve been cutting down on my late night eats which is goal #1 that I am trying to focus on right now. I also managed to get to bed at about 1045 pm last night & I probably fell a sleep around 11 pm. That is a good 3 hour improvement! I was nice and fresh as a daisy this morning when I woke up at 5 AM to do a short cardio session before getting ready for work … so, I’m feeling really accomplished! :D I will be hitting the gym with hubby later on in the evening to complete my day #1 challenge workout.
Anyhow, here are the weekly updates for my Friendly Fitness Wager:
Week #1 -Weight Loss this week: .5 lbs
Week #1 - Body Fat Loss this week: .8 %

Hi Vilma,
Good luck and great job sticking with it. I feel your pain with regards to the late night snacking. That’s my biggest challenge as well. It’s amazing how hungry I feel at night and really annoying to know that I’m full but still want to eat.
I’ve been doing low-carb for the last week as part of my diet and I can feel the urge to consume junk food reducing. I’ve read that as you come off carbs, your “need” for them is reduced as well. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Keep it up, I need the competition for our bet.

I think you are doing great! You’ve lost weight and Body Fat and we’re only 2 weeks into the new year! Stick with it! I’m trying to lose 14 pounds myself, but just started this week. So far (4 days into
so good!) Love your blog!

Hi Vilma,
Thought I’d stop by and see how you were doing and it looks like you are doing well. I would say that it’s almost impossible for our hearts to be in this journey 100% of the time, but one thing that might help is to look at your goals again and remember why you want them. I think you wanted to be healthier so you could have a child? That’s a biggie!
I like your plan on the goal snowball, start with smaller goals, master them, work up. That’s what I’m doing these days. Just trying to get back to healthy eating, which mostly I am doing, but not always 5 meals per day, sigh.
Anyway, a friend of mine was saying she needed to lose weight, but couldn’t find any motivation. I think sometimes you just have to keep the snowball rolling and follow the goals. I think it was Tom Venuto who said you need goals you are passionate about, so that you strive for them.
Have a good evening… I need to sign off and get to bed earlier for a change.
