So my title is a bit weird, happy about losing my wedding ring? No I am not having marital problems. I usually never take my wedding ring off, and when I do it usually reminds me of how fat I have gotten. It’s tight and hard to get off. Well I didn’t notice it but it’s been feeling looser, and last night it came off in my sleep. Spent 30 mins looking for the silly thing. At first I was a little irritated – then I realized, if it’s loose – that means I’m losing some weight. YAY!!!!! So that made my morning.

This weekend will be a trial. Usually the weekend is when I break all the rules because we go out. This weekend its Movie night at his brothers house Friday, then party night at his friends house Saturday, and recovering on Sunday.  I’m not terribly worried though. My husband’s brother usually cooks pretty good-for-you food and our friends are pretty health conscious. In fact, they were happy when we announced that we will be stopping the fast food – they only went because we did. So the only negative influence this weekend will be me. Can I resist the lure of fast food breakfast? Or Starbucks? Only time will tell. But I am confident that I will be able to be strong and stick to my plan.

Weeks Wrap Up –

So it’s the end of the first week. I had a few minor setbacks, however on the whole I think the week went well. In fact I am already noticing some changes. Since I started taking vitamins, meal replacements and getting plenty of water – I am more awake and have more energy. I also don’t have as many cravings for random foods. I can actually watch a food commercial without immediately wanting to go after the food. This week has given me hope. Usually the first week of a diet for me is torture. Tons of withdrawals (from carbs) and cravings. But since it’s going so well – I really think that this diet is going to work for me. And the fact that my husband is joining me has also got me motivated. And to top it all off – it’s a healthy diet. I am getting all the nutrition I should be getting, and all the water I need.

This week was wonderful – and now I am 1 week closer to my goal of getting fit and feeling great. YAY!
