Change comes slowly

After a rough week, I am feeling surprisingly good! I was not feeling very optimistic during the middle of the week because I was tired and eating crap and making excuses.
Despite all of that, I still managed to reign it back in, cut back my calories a bit and step up my exercise for the last 2 nights of the week. And the turn around paid off, I lost 1.5 pounds last week. Doesn't sound like much, but it is healthy rate and I know I will have bigger weeks and lower weeks. I am proud of that loss and it was just the fuel I needed to carry into this week and conquer, well...myself!
Thankfully I have some help! I have been using a calorie tracking app for a while and I found out that a friend of mine is using it too. That is great because we can track each other, encourage each other and participate in challenges! The competition aspect really gets me going! I don't win things very often, but for some reason, if its a competition, I try harder! Thank you Stephanie for inviting me to a challenge!
Here's to having a great week!
