Week 1 ~ Free Trail

 Here's how my first week went...

        6-8-2019 Day 1: Weigh-in         230.0
                               Steps             2463
                               Calories

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


The next day began we instructed to log the food we eat which gives the calorie count...

         6-9-2019 Day 2: Weigh-in          229.0 lbs
                                Steps               2624
                                Calories            2950  (825 over)

Right off the bat, I am over on my calorie count! At least I am honest about what I eat. Isn't that the point of this.

ACCOUNTABILITY!
                             
I forgot to mention that when I signed up, I did so with a 14-day Free Trial.

Perfect!

I will use these two weeks to get into the groove of how it all works.

I was told by my niece, who is also doing the program, too, do the lessons every day.

Each day there will be a quiz of what you already learned.

So far, the questions have been about establishing a base.

As I went about each of the sections of what a day will be like, it reminded me of the Smoke-Free app I used back in 2014 to quit smoking.

By my first anniversary, after transferring $85 a week into savings, I had over $4400.

But, I DID NOT SMOKE! And each year, those savings go toward our journey.

Which is why part of the reason I gained weight. The hand to mouth with food is the same motion as the cigarette to lips. Having my Thyroid stop working during this time contributed to most of it.

          6-10-2019 Day 3: Weigh-in          229.0 lbs
                                  Steps               1073
                                  Calories            1322  (61 over)

 I'm seeing the reason for logging my food. I must get better at this!

                                 Steps              1465

One week down, 35 to go...I won't bore you with all these numbers each week. Just wanted to show how this part was integrated into the plan.

I'm getting the hang of it though, and even see my grocery shopping is changing already!
