Not losing fast enough for me...

237 lbs. (down -23 lbs)!
I am struggling with not losing weight fast enough! I got stuck at -20 lbs for about a week so I stepped up my exercise a bit and I lost 3 more lbs over the past few days. I have been walking a mile on my treadmill each day consistently for the past 5 days so I hope that gets everything rolling again. I try not to attach so much importance to how fast I am losing but it's hard not to! Someone on the website lost 21 lbs in the first week...I'm jealous! I shouldn't be! I should concentrate my efforts on MY success instead of what others are doing.

I had to go to weighing myself only once a week or I will drive myself nuts!

Tomorrow I go back to work. I'm still battling the hunger so I hope going to work will aleviate some of that since I will be busier than I have been while at home.

I'm not sleeping well for some reason (I guess this is common) but it's effecting everything else because I'm tired! I probably need to go back to using my CPAP machine but I've never been very consistant with it and I have a hard time sleeping flat on my back. My hips have been bothering me too so it's a lose/lose situation right now. I'm a mess!

All in all I'm doing pretty well. I'm trying to stay positive but it's difficult some days. I've figured out that the only way to imcorporate walking into my weekdays/work days is to do it early in the morning; before work; 4:30 am or so. I will start that tomorrow and hope I can make it work. I'll probably have to start going to bed at 8:00 pm.

I had really hoped to lose more than -23 lbs by the time I went back to work but I am happy that I have lost the 23!

STAY POSITIVE

FOOD IS FUEL!!!!
