Well, completed week two of my eat well & be active challenge..
Today was weigh in day and lost 2 more lbs.. not as good as last week but, i know the losing will be smaller now each week and i'm content with 2 lbs, better than gain!

i wasn't as active as i was the week before either, due to my crazy work hours and been busy with life of course but working it in when i can! hehe..

Picked up my challenges for this week..
Eating challenge : is to eat no chocolate all week long
Activity challenge: 25 mins of activity a day (we get 2 points for it) and then 1 point for every 15 mins..
My personal goal challenge: Is to work on smaller portions for my meals, fitting it onto a small plate, rather than a big one..

Of course , i have to keep up with my previous challenges for the last 2 weeks as well.. which have been:
7-8 servings of fruit & vegetables
eating a healthy breakfast every morning
drinking 8 glasses of water each day (no sodapop and no sugary juices)
not to eat a meal after 6pm & to eat 3 meals plus healthy snack between meals.

i was well known for skipping meals, and of course, binge eating.. so getting control on my making sure i eat healthy meals and not getting myself to t he point i want to binge is a big step for me, quite proud of myself these last 2 weeks.. Also, the portion control now will be a big one for me..

This week we were given a small notebook to use as a food & activity journal as well.. This is something ive been saying i would do but never did follow through so will be a good thing to try..

i'm really enjoying this challenge, i will be pushing myself for more activity this week too! THANK YOU to everyone who left me the encouraging and VERY sweet rep with my weight loss last week... i am also very lucky to have supportive people in my life who encourage me along as well.. this has been the absolute best i have ever done on my self journey and this really has me SOOO happy, i'm very very happy with myself!!

YAAAAAAY!
hope you are all doing well - i miss reading tips and updates and the chatter in this thread, sooooooo much ♥
