Week 2 Day 1

I guess it's now 36 weeks instead of 37. To actually hit my goal by my birthday, which is where the 37 weeks came from, I need to lose 2.72 pounds a week. I know that's not realistic for every single week but if I work really hard and pay attention to what I'm doing I'll be a hell of a lot closer than I am now! And most importantly, I'll be a hell of a lot healthier. I'm spending this week really focusing on balancing out my food choices. Yes, I'm getting plenty of walking in but I'm not really concerning myself too much with heavy exercise. Next week, I'll be starting the ChaLean Extreme program and I'm determined to be committed to it daily. I really think it's going to be a great program for me. 
I was so proud of myself yesterday. We decided to have Subway for dinner. For years, I have always gotten the exact same sandwich. The Italian BMT with pickles, black olives, banana peppers, and oil and vinegar. Oh, and extra cheese! Yesterday I had the Subway Club with Pepper Jack cheese(not extra), lettuce, bell pepper, pickles, black olives, banana peppers, and EXTRA LIGHT on the vinegar and oil. This was huge for me. Took me almost 10 minutes to make the decision. And you know what? It was a great sandwich!  Slowly but surely I'm heading in the right direction! Maybe next time I'll leave off the vinegar and oil. Then next time leave off the cheese. Wait, lets get real...I'm not leaving off the cheese!!
