The BIG Weigh-In Week 2

James 5:16 - Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

     Last week there were a couple of concerns mentioned about weighing in every week, however I have done some research and have found out that most in the dietary profession say weighing in every week is a good thing to do. I actually came across one that said statistics show that people who weigh every day is more likely to maintain and lose weight than those who don't. So I will continue weighing in every week and keeping you informed on the progress made. I truly appreciate all comments made on my posts.

                    O.k. last week I weighed 378.0.
     My goals that I set last week 8/24/10-8/29/10 are as follows:
 
• drink two gallons of water a day - this was reduced to one gallon due to comments left on my posts from those in the medical field. - This was VERY attainable for me this past week.
 
• eat less "fatty" foods and more fruits and veggies - This goal is not specific enough. I will try to narrow it down if at all possible.

• exercise at least three times this week - I did exercise 3 times this past week.

• lose 5 lbs. actually I will be attempting to lose 10 lbs. so next Monday I should weigh 368 lbs.

• I will not eat past 6:00 p.m. - This goal was reached every day with the exception of Friday

• I will spend extra time with God in prayer and Devo's - about 10 min. extra a day - This goal unfortunately was not reached every day.

     So did I reach my weight goal for the week? Yes and No. I lost 5 pounds!! I now weigh 373.2. I did not lose the 10 lbs for which I tried, but you will not hear me gripe about a 5 lbs. loss!!

     What are my goals for this upcoming week 8/30/10-9/6/10?

• drink one gallon of water a day

• I will eat at least three "pieces" of fruit a day

• exercise at least four times this week 

• lose 5 lbs. actually I will be attempting to lose 10 lbs. so next Monday I should weigh 363 lbs. - this will get me back on my original path to my original goal.

• I will not eat past 6:00 p.m.

• I will spend extra time with God in prayer and Devo's - about 10 min. extra a day

• I will not eat any of my kids left overs.

How did you do? Did you reach your goals this past week? If not, I know we can do this together this week. I will pray for you and you pray for me, we will be VICTORIOUS in this War on Weight!!
