2+ Weeks on Eats4Life

A couple weeks ago I blogged to let you all know I was beginning a nutritional eating program called Eats4Life.
In the first two weeks I lost 7 pounds, 5 of which Joanne informed me were FAT (ew!).  I eat 6 times a day, rarely feel hungry, and exercise when I can.  When I do feel hungry before a meal, usually before dinner as I am getting the meal ready, I eat a small piece of 75% reduced fat cheese.  I used to detest cheese like this because I thought it had no flavor but my opinion has since changed and now full-fat cheese is kind of gross to me.  I have noticed my clothes are starting to fit better.

It has now been 4 weeks since I started the program and I have lost 11 pounds!  I am starting to feel like a new person!  My jeans are getting to be too big on me.  Every day I weigh myself and on the weekends I chart my weight just to especially make sure I am staying on track.  On the weekends my husband measures me and I chart the inches I have lost.  Most notably I have lost two inches in my chest and waist!  So exciting. 

Losing the weight is keeping me motivated to continue.  I work out when I can; I am trying to do yoga every morning and cardio kickboxing at night but I don't end up doing it every day, it's more like a few times a week.  Still it seems to be working! :)
