August 2020’s Dieting Update

I started my calorie counting diet on July 27th and can honestly say it is going rather well so far! My progress is a little slower than I would like, but that is because I haven’t been able to workouts in to the mix.

August turned in to a rather hectic month for me and I haven’t been able to properly manage my time. I found myself juggling a lot at once and until I find a balance my work out plans are on hold. Though this saddens me, I have at least been able to stick with the calorie counting aspect of my dieting plans. I slip occasionally and eat more than I know I should, but I just chalk it up as a cheat day and move on to doing better the next day. If I let one bad day or week get me down, my progress will be for nothing. So I am staying strong and just pushing through.

I weigh myself every Monday morning to track my weekly progress.

The result have looked like this:

Week 1: lost 1.7Ibs

Week 2: lost 2.4 Ibs

Week 3: lost .4 Ibs (my worst week so far)

Week 4: lost 1Ibs

Week 5: lost .2 Ibs (Just kidding this was my worst week)

A five week total loss of 5.7 Ibs. I am happy with my progress so far. Could it be more? Definitely! But for me, any progress is progress no matter how small. I also lost a little more than the MyFitnessPal’s projected one pound per week so I am feeling good about that.

Off to a good start!!

I think if I can keep this up and eventually start adding some workouts in to the mix I will be able to get more of this weight off. As the weight slowly decreases, my self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-love are all on the rise.
