Still losing about two pounds per week, so I'm on the right track. I have now hit the three week mark, which is important, because I usually fall off of diets around this time. This kind of makes sense when I consider something that I've heard: that it takes about three weeks to make something into a habit. Friday night and all day yesterday I didn't bother to fill in my foods. Today I thought about it and entered everything that I could remember to keep me caught up. It can be easy to fall off track over time, as the newness of a diet and lifestyle change begins to fade away and you enter into a routine. Some people really need routines, I am often a live-by-the-seat-of-your-pants person, which I think is what contributed to my gaining weight in the fist place, as I can be very impulsive, especially about foods. So far I can say, however, that my portion sizes have significantly decreased and that I still never feel hungry or deprived. I know that I could lose weight faster by working out longer and eating less, but I think keeping a balance is going to have the best end result. I will try to hold onto that sentiment, even as my travel dates draw near. 2-3 pounds per week will get me to one of my long term goals with enough time.
