Accomplishments
I lost 11 lbs!!
I am exercising!!
I'm no longer in the obese category!!
I'm getting better at portion control by listening to my tummy.

Challenges
I really want a soda when I eat out.
I really really want a soda when I'm cooking.
I really really really want a soda at night when I'm blogging.
I really really really really want sweets late at night. And a soda.

Game Plan
Continue to pay close attention to what I'm eating and drinking.

Stick with the only 1 soda per day rule.

Have Jello-O and pre-chopped fruit in the fridge to satisfy late-night sweet cravings.

Continue to rely upon the joy of all-you-can-eat air-popped popcorn for snack cravings.

Begin to make exercise a weekly priority instead of something to do when I don't have anything else on my calendar.

Go get some super-cool leg warmers to celebrate my first 10 lbs!
