One Month

I started my 'Quest to Eudemonia' on March 17, 2014.  Thursday marked one month of  being on my diet.

 I'm not sure how I feel about this whole month, I mainly feel relieved. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I got through the first month.  Just form that sentence alone lets you know it was tough as hell.  I was tempted almost every day. Bad habits sure do die hard, and being over weight for 20+ years made this very difficult. 

My sister, who hadn't seen me since St. Patrick's day (start of diet), said she could tell I lost weight. I went to visit her and my nephews when she just blurted "You lost weight, your belly got flatter" I was surprised it showed since I actually only lost a little over 7 lbs, but a sister will not lie when it comes to something like this :) 


This week I am going to go a little stricter, with my (version of LCHF/Paleo/Atkins) diet.  I am also going to include some light exercise like walking on the treadmill, jogging/walking on the elliptical, stretches, and some weight training. 


Next week, when I get on the scale, I hope I am able to portray this woman's expression.
