Leanne’s Log (beginning weight from 12/27/05, when I started really logging everything again)
Begin P2G	P2G (final target)	P2G (soft target)	Total (+/-) lbs/inches
46.5 lbs.	25 lbs.	15 lbs.	-21.5 lbs. (-1.5)

Week 2, and I’m down another 1.5 lbs, for a total of 6 pounds since my restart this year. What’s different is that I haven’t even started exercising yet. I imagine I’d be much further along if I were, but I’m being honest with myself. I’ll pick up the pace, and I’ll even take the dog out for more walks. What I most likely will never be consistent with is getting on the treadmill for any length of time and breaking a sweat. Do I really want to work my butt off getting there, then quit exercising and gain it all back? Not really. So in an honest effort of keeping it real, I’m eating better, counting calories and drinking more water. For now, that’s my primary commitment.

CalorieKing’s diet diary has an area to check-in, so I got the tape measurer out again today, as well. I’m down 1-inch in my chest, 1/2-inch in my waist, 1-inch in my hips, and 1/2-inch in my thighs.

My whole family is benefiting from eating meals based on the WW Core Foods list. I made a ground chicken meatloaf the other day using my own high-fiber whole wheat bread crumbs with eggbeaters, and it was awesome. My hubby is down 6 pounds, not that he has a whole lot to lose, but he’s much more aware of his food choices and it’s really benefiting him, too!

That’s the scoop on me for the week - I hope you’re all successfully working at it and keeping it real!
