Monthly Report - January

(source)

Here I am, a month of healthy living under my belt.  Actually, tomorrow is my week 5 weigh in, so is over a month. It was easier, and harder than I imagined.  And I can't imagine that changing.  Here is some stats by the month for those who are curious...

January Weight Watcher Stats:

• 31 days tracked
• 12 pounds lost
• 15 workouts
• 1 new food tried - Kale
• 1 new veggie recipe tried - Roasted Cauliflower
• Increase in my veggie intact - exponential
• Countless number of clementines eaten
• Inches lost - unknown (will measure in mid Feb)
• Pants size - no change, but I do have "diaper butt" now.
• Visible weight loss - none to me, but Mr. Goat assures me it is there.
• Thousands of ounces of water drunk
• No soda
• No alcohol
• Too much eating out, but better choices made
• 1 potluck navigated.

All in all it was a hugely successful month.  If I can duplicate this month each month this year I could lose 144 pounds this month.  I doubt that I will be able to maintain that rate, but it is a great start and that is the important part.  Tomorrow I weigh in for the first time in February and see how this month begins too, but so far it is going well.

So I am declaring January to be a victory for me.  Watch out February, you have tough shoes to fill!
