Keeping a food journal and weighing myself every 2 days were part of my goals for the week. I weighed myself twice this week and I did lose 2 pounds. I actually managed to work in some exercise. I went for a 20 minute walk at lunch twice during the week. Walking at lunch helped me lose weight last year and I hoping it will work again this year. It also helps relieve some of the stress that tends to build up from dealing with people all morning.

I also began keeping a food record, but I feel my efforts need work. I did it some days and others I did not. I did find that I did eat healthier when I recorded everything. This is a holiday weekend and I will be going to an amusement park in a few days. All these things will present unique eating challenges, but I am looking forward to being able to get some exercise.
