Day 7 - Good First Week

I had a successful first week on BFL.  I weighed myself this morning and I've lost abaout 5 pounds from my highest point a couple of weeks ago.  I know alot of that is water weight and excess food inside me, but it's progress in the right direction and I feel good about it.  I could also swear my pants felt just a tad looser...that may have more to do with my gut not pushing out (because it's so full of food) than with any real weight loss.

The biggest reason I had success this week was because I prepared and I worked hard.  Before the week began, I had a plan for what I was going to eat at each of my 6 meals everyday.  I knew what work outs I was going to do and when.  I visualized doing all I needed to do and I repeated my goal every morning and every night.  This preperation made the week flow very easily.  I just stepped into the role I'd already created for myself in my mind.

This whole process of preparing and being orgnized takes a lot of effort.  As I do more of it, I think I'll become more efficient at it...but at some point, I've really got to accept that this is the way the rest of my life is going to be.  I just don't think I'll ever be able to trust myself to eat the right foods spontaneously.  I'm alwasys going to need a plan.

I hope your week went well and if today was your free day, I hope you enjoyed it and indulged in a few things you might not normally eat.  THanks for reading my blog.

God Bless.
