First Five Pounds

My first week I lost 3.8 Lbs making my weight 175.6. That was an ok start for and actually pretty healthy.  They say that the healthy weight lost is only one to two pounds a week.  I want to be healthy and to know that I am not just going to gain the weight back the next day.  Anywho.. today was my 3rd meeting and I lost 1.6 Lbs this week. That is understandable with my Grandma just passing away and it being finals week. I will admit it I wasn't following it that closely this week. I drank large 24 oz cups of the fattening sugary coffees to keep me up all night studying, and many chocolate bars to help with my loss.  This is so destructive! I want to stop using food as a crutch!  How ever with those two weeks combined I have now lost 5.4 pounds!  This is very exciting and I have a lovely yellow sticker that has a 5 on it in my booklet.  I feel like I am in kindergarten again loving stickers and I cant wait to be able to receive another one!
   
Another challenge for me with being on weight watchers is that I have zero control about what food is around me.  My parents don't make that great of money were they can buy all the healthy foods, that's America for you- they make it easier to eat a cheese burger from Mcdonalds then to eat a salad.  Not to mention I am never home anymore so my mother doesn't like to go food shopping.  I am always on the go.  Many nights I spend the night at my boyfriends house and he likes to sleep in and never eats breakfast.  I feel uncomfortable eating while no one else in his house is. When i am not at Kevin's house I am at school or at work at the mall. Food is expensive!  I can not spend 20 dollars for 2 weeks anymore it is just impossible.   A little fruit bowl and a drink is 6 bucks at the school cafeteria.  I want to lose weight but I am not made of money.   One thing that I will need to do is to look up some healthy cheap quick snacks and meals I can take on the go.

I went to the gym for the first time in a long time today. It was really nice I worked out on the elliptical for 30 mins. and I did some bicycle crunches.  The sad part about it is that I had the guy set me up to a fat measure.

• The highest of the average range was 31
• My BMI is 31.8. This is very high. This is considered obese
• A BMI of 24.9 is the highest in the healthy range.
