Daily Chart
You can find this chart and other useful info at: http://www.flylady.net/pages/body_clutter_main.asp

Starting weight: 276.8lbs
Today’s Scale Reading: 272.6lbs
Gain/loss: -4.2lbs

Attitude:
Alright, we're going to semi-ignore the scale number as I'm a firm believer that it is only part of the story of weight loss and getting healthier. I think I still need to weigh, but I don't put all my hopes and dreams on that number. The number that is more important to me is the body fat % and I have mine measured every month at Curves. That is around the 16th give or take a couple of days. Also inches lost is a good indicator of success and that will be measured once a month as well. But still, while the number went up today (ever so slightly), looking at the big picture, a 4lb loss in one week ain't half bad! :o) It's not in my best interest to lose quickly anyway. So, one week down and still sticking to it which in itself is an accomplishment. I've started this eating plan numerous times and the longest I did it before this time was 3 days. I'm cruising now!

5 things I’m grateful for:
1. a body free of injury so I can MOVE!
2. An HHT who LOVES me
3. Supportive atmosphere like Curves
4. Being over carb withdrawals
5. Reaching a full week of sticking to it

5 things I did right:
1. worked out
2. woke up on time
3. got dressed to the shoes
4. sorted the mail in a timely fashion
5. haven't got discouraged
