Whelp.  It has been a week since I started on this slow journey but I've already lost 2 pounds.  I know the body can fluctuate a few pounds a day, but I've consistently weighed in at 170 lbs for the last 2 days.  Throughout the course of the last week I made some very minimal changes... I worked out a few times, but more importantly changed my eating habits.

It's been tough and there were times when I had been hungry. All week long I made some healthier wraps to eat, and I essentially cut out all of the bad foods.  The big thing that I am working on is portion control. I know myself, and I know that I will never be able to completely cut my favorite junk foods out of my life.  I love chicken wings and cookies... the key for me is to not eat so many of them.  If eat chicken wings, I'm eating 4 to get a good taste instead of a single order of 10 or 12.

Portion control is already working.  Over the weekend I ordered a steak at a restaurant and I could only finish a third of it. I'm becoming gradually less hungry through out the day. These wraps are filling me up now.  I also haven't been as tired already.  I even ran the football during my flag football game this weekend.  What a difference some healthy food can make in your everyday life...
