April 14/10 Results

First, I'd like to say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mother who I know reads my blogs! So I hope you read my blog today Mom!

Today's results are as follows:

Current Weight as of April 14/10: 171.4lbs
Starting Weight as of Jan 5/10: 218.4 lbs
Total weight loss as of April 14/10: 47 lbs
Weight loss to go: 41.4 lbs

Next Wednesday I will update my measurements as that is my next 3 week measurement date!

I almost met my 2-week goal this week - I was off by 0.8 lbs (my 2 week goal was 170.6).   However, considering I had a slow start to the month and was behind to start with, I did pretty good.  I'm not sure if I'm losing better due to not drinking as much diet pop, the addition of green tea into my diet, or the added water.  I am testing it to see what makes a difference.  I have a feeling that I can still continue drinking diet pop (althought its not healthy for me) and still lose weight regardless.  However, b/c this diet is about me getting HEALTHY, I've decided to ween myself off the diet pop and stick with healthy non-chemical beverages such as green tea and water.  I will still have the odd diet pop when I want one but certainly not the 6 cans+ a day I was having before! 

I wrote on Monday that I was putting 1 packet of splenda into my green tea. Well I have stopped that and now drink my green tea plain.  Its not too bad - a little bland but I am getting used to it. I am noticing that my face is clearing up and looking much healthier and youthful since I've added in green tea to my diet.  So I hope it keeps up!

I will write again on Friday with my weight update!
