If you’re new to Make It Count Mondays, then I suggest you refer back to the introductory post explaining what exactly Make It Count Mondays is and how you, too, can join! Each week I (Jillian) will start the challenge by sharing my weight loss (or gain), one positive thing that I experienced and one negative thing that I experienced. Here goes nothing:

Week 1 Positive: I actually counted my calories and exercised for 4 out of the 7 days.
Week 1 Negative: I threw out my back, and turned to food for comfort. I found myself depressed that I couldn’t do anything for myself (not even tie my own shoes), so I chose to eta my sorrows away.

Use this helpful guideline to learn what an estimated serving size is, especially when it’s not listed on the package or you’re at a restaurant. This is extremely helpful for those counting points through Weight Watchers or calories. Portion control is the easiest and most natural way to lose weight:
My back is starting to feel better and I’m starting fresh. How did you all do?
