And the Number is...

Today was my first weigh in and I lost....drum roll please.... 6.5 lbs! First week is likely to be high, so I'm keeping that in perspective. Needless to say, I'm happy to have a nice loss.

This week has gotten much easier. I am not really craving food as much now. And I think my body is adapting quite nicely. I not as tired anyway.

I still have these little bursts of thought though. For instance today when I thought about going to weigh-in tonight my mind immediately went to "What will I eat afterwards?" This is something else that has gotten easier as the week has gone on. I think about this less and less. I used to think about what I was going to have for dinner all afternoon, which gave me plenty of time to dissuade myself from eating healthy (especially if I started obsessing over wanting one particular food).

Anyway...that's that update. In other news...I got my Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit yesterday! Yay! I can't wait to set it up this weekend and try it out. I've heard great things, so I'm eager to have fun using that to help with strength exercises and yoga along with some tennis and golf. Sure it's a video game, but it's an active game in the privacy of my own home.

Thanks...though there's not a whole lot of "work" to it yet. I'll start exercising this week.

You rock! 6.5 is tremendous!

I'm curious to hear your review of the Wii fit. I've played Wii sports and love tennis and bowling on it. I'm not sure about the Fit thing though. I'm not sure I can see much difference between that and doing a yoga video. But I love the idea of having one more workout tool in the house.
