Okay, so it's been tough all around. I am finding it tough to report to this blog on a regular schedule, it's tough converting everything I put in my mouth into a point, then planning out my day around making sure I don't go over my allotted amount. But, as tough as it is, I am doing it. I managed to lose 6.2 lbs this first week on eating alone. I found the P90x a little too tough to commit to every day. I am going to start a walking plan and going back to the gym schedule first. When I feel stronger, I will venture back to the videos.
Lisa Michaels (a swim mom of 2 SFSC swimmers), asked me yesterday what was the hardest thing I have had to give up. I was quick to answer bagels. I haven't had one Brugger's bagel this whole week.) I could have one, if I saved the points for it of course but I am staying away for now.
If I could re-answer her question, I would have to say the biggest thing you give up is time. I no longer randomly choose what to eat for breakfast, or snack, or even what drink to buy at a gas station on the fly. Everything requires thought, planning, calculating and decision. Which for now, I like the freedom to choose what I want to eat or drink. It's the time it takes to do it all that will continue to be my biggest challenge. It can be brain overload.
