Weigh in week 2

I weighed myself Thurs morning and had only lost 1/2 lb. Disappointing yes, but I know this diet works. It's actually a pretty simple diet. My diet alottment is 1500 calories a day. You look at a chart and see how much you weigh and you decide how many calories you can have a day. This lets you know how much of each category you can have. There are little icons of the food types and each time you have a food in that group you check it off.  

So for me, I get two breads, 6 ounces of protein, 2 vegetables, 1 fruit and 3 fats. You can either do the diet structured or free form. Structured meaning you have a specific meal plan, free form meaning you can eyeball a portion and decide how many of that group it is. I prefer the free form. 

So as I look back over the week I am assuming that I need to work on my portion control. 

Another part of this program is activity. It is recommended that you do at least 30 minutes of a physical activity a day. This can be anything from walking to riding a bike. I generally walk. However, due to the weather I did not walk 3 of the days. So this was part of the problem as well.  

So this week I will be watching my portions more and trying to make sure I get in my 30 minutes a day.
