That's right, haven't dropped a pound, well actually, yesterday I weighed in 185, but this morning I'm back up so I'm not counting it.
Sorry the blog has been dark most this week. I have been working out and watching my eating and water in-take, though I admit my water levels could have been a bit better. I have been drinking decaf all week (and enjoying it) so "yea me!" I have had only 1, that's right 1, diet soda this week (we ran through the drive through on the way to Awana and I had the soda with my salad and boy! Did I ever need it! That day was crazy full and I needed a bit of caffeine to get me through the evening). So another, "yea me!" for cutting out the bug juice.
Went to Trader Joe's at the beginning of the week and stocked up on good breakfast and lunch foods to keep at the office so I'm not running out and buying lunch all the time because, "I didn't have time to make lunch this morning." Lot's of sugar snap peas with spinach dip and brown rice with soy sauce and steamed veggies this week. I picked up some instant irish oatmeal that looked interesting, but haven't gotten to it yet. Trader Joe's also had Meyer lemon's on sale and I have been enjoying them in my ice water. So another "YEA!" for better food choices this week.
Dinner's have been various themes of chicken and veg... chicken in enchilada sauce (easy, fast, and tasty), buffalo chicken (tastes like hot wings), Southwest Chicken Salad (Awana night dinner from McD's). And not terribly fascinating, but Matt and the boys were happy enough with menu so good enough for me.
My exercise routine has been all over the place! Sometimes working out in the morning, sometimes the afternoon, other times the evening. I HATE working out in the morning even though I know it makes sense and I'll boost my metabolism for the day and I'll feel better, and blah, blah, blah. I'm not a morning person! In the evenings I can run or do free step for hours! Meh. I guess the important thing is that I do it.
I'm not focusing on my lack of weight loss, because this plateau is temporary. It takes about a month for the system to really start kicking in and I start burning through the pounds, but until then 1.) I feel good. No bloating, no food hang-overs, I'm sleeping better. 2.) I have seen a decrease in size. My face isn't as chubby and the ankles and wrists actually show there are some bones in there. And who knew? But I'm getting a waist, something unheard of (even thin I tend to be a waistless tree trunk shape) 3.) I feel stronger! My endurance for the hated cardio is increasing and my muscles feel tighter, better. So triple "yea!"
All in all I'm pretty darn proud of myself!
