First Week Down

Starting Weight: 194lbs. Total Weight Lost: 2.4lbs. Status: Ok.

So I made it past my first week, and I think I have done a pretty good job so far with keeping up with what I eat, and making sure I work out at least thirty minutes a day.
My wife has been watching out for me and helping me make sure I don't over eat like I have been, and keeping me in line.
I'm proud of her also cause ever since she had Elah almost three weeks ago she has lost over 20 pounds off of her pre-pregnancy weight.
I feel pretty good so far, definitely a lot better than I did a week ago. I'm just tired cause Elah kept us up most of the night last night.
I have done pretty good with not drinking much soda this week, all but 1 Coke at the beginning of the week and 2 Mtn. Dews on Thursday, so I'm making progress.
My diet now consist of fresh, home cooked meals. And I'm trying not to eat a whole lot of processed food.
In the mornings I normally eat scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and toast, or some of this oatmeal my wife buys that isn't the instant crap.
It keeps me pretty full during the morning till around 12 or 1.  I try to eat at least some fruit or nuts for a snack to hold off those cravings , and that seems to help alot.
It feels really good knowing I am committed to doing this, and that it is actually working. If I keep this up, by next Sunday I should have lost over what I wanted to loose.
When I started, I said I wanted to lose at least 3 pounds every two weeks and its going really well.
I also downloaded this app. for my droid called "My Fitness Pal". Its awesome.
When you first start it you log in all your info. Height, Weight, Age, Etc. and it calculates how many calories you should be taking in each day. Then whenever you eat, you just log in the food you ate, and it subtracts it from your total calories. Normally I try to keep it about 100 to 200 calories below, so that I lose some weight.
So far this journey is going really good. I just hope I keep getting results.
