NSV<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2013 I am sleeping better
\n\u2013 I have more energy and no longer get 3pm burn out
\n\u2013 drinking all this water has really done wonders for my complexion. My skin hasn\u2019t looked this good since I was in my early twenties.
\n\u2013 and even though the scales says I\u2019m fatter, for some reason I feel smaller (it could just be psychological)
\n\u2013 my pants fit looser in the thighs<\/p>\n
General Thoughts <\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019m not going to lie. I was really hoping for at least a 4-5 weight loss. Everyone kept saying that when you\u2019re as fat me that first month the weight practically melts off. Granted you\u2019re usually too fat for it to make a visible difference, but I was completely unprepared to see the scale go up. It felt like a devastating punch in my ever expanding gut. <\/p>\n
However, typing out my NSV made me feel a whole lot better. At least some accomplishments came from all my conscientious eating. So there\u2019s that. <\/p>\n
And I am doing something, which is 100% better than doing absolutely nothing. For the first time in a very long time I feel determined and in control.<\/p>\n
I know what I have to do this coming month. I have to get over my aversion of working out. Making dietary changes alone is not going to make as big an impact as I had originally hoped. <\/p>\n
This past month my physical activity was just walking. I\u2019d walk for 30 minutes every other day or so, depending on my mood. I hadn\u2019t made a commitment to myself to exercise regularly. That has to change. <\/p>\n
Admittedly I\u2019m unsure where to start so if you could make some baby step recommendations for regular exercise I sure would really appreciate it. <\/p>\n
