Back To Work

I am in my second week back to work.  I was so worried about going back to work because of issue with the chocolate, chips and pop.   As I work in a discount store where it is really cheap it is very hard to resist.  I will remind you, I used to have a 591ml of Coke and a king size mars bar or twix.  Plus whatever food I would eat in the food court.  So far I am doing well.  I have not eaten in the food court.  I make it a point to pack a lunch.  Once in a while I will treat myself to a coke zero and a dark chocolate bar, regular size.  Yes, I know diet pop is not good for you and that is why it is a treat.  One thing that is cheap is bottles of water.  So by the time I finish work I usually have 2-3 bottles of water drank.  

Tonight I had pizza for dinner, and for once I did not enjoy it.  Since starting to take PGX daily I find that my body does not handle junk food very well.  

That is all for now!

5 More Down

February 24, 2013

Yesterday was weigh in day).  I am pleased to see that I lost 5 more pounds.  Taking PGX has been amazing.  It helps a lot.  The thought of taking pills to help me lose weight really did not see appealing.  After all the research and found not one thing wrong I decided to give it a try.  So the day I started I stood on the scale to get my starting weight.  Reset my starting weight on My Fitness Pal.  So now I know exactly how much I lost.  To date I have lost a total of 20 lbs.

This weekend is weigh in day.  I do not seem very optimistic I will have lost that much,  Last week I had a really rough week.  I have been dealing with a lot of stress.  

Now I am back to work and one of the biggest struggles when I was at work everyday on my break I would have 1 king size chocolate bar and 1 bottle of coke, and sometimes even chips.  That has been my biggest fear falling into that trap again.  Eating in the food court was also an issue too.  So far so good.  I did allow myself to have 1 normal size Dark chocolate bar.  Less sugar, less calories and they say dark chocolate is better for you anyways.  I still stayed way under my calorie count too.  I make sure my lunch is made and packed, so I cannot go to the food court.  Honestly, we cannot afford to do that anyways.  I have been really working at cutting back on sodium.  That is the worse thing for anyone.  The biggest change is I drink lots of water!!!! I have discovered that the main thing with weight loss is drink water.  I have really cut back on my coffee.  Working on drinking green tea more.  When I first tried it, that was yucky!!!! Now it is good!  

I am really looking forward to getting this weight off and become a healthier me!
