Month 3 Get’n Healthy Wk 9

/ Getting Healthy 2024 / By

Week 9: February 25 to March 2

I have very happy with the 2 pound loss last week, week 8. The first month I lost 9.8 the second month I lost 4.8, for a two month total of 14.6. I always lose more the first month of different eating patterns then slow down after. The longest I ever stuck to a ‘diet’ was when I did Keto about five years ago and I strictly stayed on it for four months, hopefully I can stick with this healthy eating plan for longer than four months, ideally the rest of my life. The ‘reward day’ every four weeks, I believe, will help me stay away from the sugary and snack foods long term.

I did not get a chance to do any prep this weekend. Brian and I had an overabundance of homework to work on this weekend. The beginning of this week is going to be stressful; I have a test on Monday and Brian has a quiz due Monday, homework due Tuesday and two tests on Wednesday. The good news is that Brian dropped the GIS course which was proving itself to be challenging to succeed in. The material itself was interesting, the technology and the fact that he could only do the lab work in the classroom, which is a 30-minute drive away was not ideal for an adult student. He can now focus on his two other classes which are part of his major, the GIS class would have been going towards an added certificate which is not needed to graduate next year.
