Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!! I just weighed in and I have lost 1.4 lbs this week!!! I mentioned yesterday that I had a terrible week and I figured I would have gained. So, I am wondering if somehow my scale is broken or what am I doing right???? So that puts me at an even 280 today. With a weightloss of 7 lbs in a month (I think I have officially been at this for 4 weeks). Not the 10lbs I was hoping for but with the slacking I did last week and how slow I feel I am getting motivated, I'd say it's pretty good.
I also wanted to update on the weekly challenge from last week...I didn't do great this last week. I ate out once at the Bell. I didn't check calories at all but I also didn't over eat. And other then the online supporters, I don't have anyone on this journey with me in real life. My hubby is a great cheerleader though :)
This week's challenge is to change up my exercise. Well, I for sure need to make sure TO exercise LOL. I have been doing The Biggest Loser Cardio Max about every other day. I just got our stationary bike out and so I am going to mix in that this week. I haven't been able to go swimming yet because I have small children who can't be left alone and I don't do public childcare. So, that will have to wait until hubby can be home a few evenings at a predictable time so I can go do a water aerobics class.
And as for the breakfasts...well, I already really like the smoothies I have been doing ( great ideas here). But I also really like fresh fruit mixed with plain yogurt and drizzled with the tiniest bit of honey. I will work on eating these this week and snacking better so I keep up this loss.
My goal for the next month is going to be 10 lbs! Wish me luck :)
Great job on the weight loss! I just picked up a book that a friend recommended at our local used bookstore that you might want to see if you can find at your library (I haven't read enough to feel confident recommending buying it yet). It's call The Beck Diet Solution, but it's not a diet book. It's a book about cognitive thinking -- working on the mental aspect of weight loss.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading some of your posts and I think you lean toward being a bit hard on yourself. I mean, I can hear, through your writing, that you're in a mental struggle with yourself over what you should or shouldn't be eating. I know how hard that is. The book might help you work through the psychological aspect of your weight loss.
Keep up the great work! You're really doing great!
That is GREAT Deanna! So excited for you! Tomorrow is weigh-in for me...and like you, am not at all sure what the scale is gonna say...I hope it is nice to me! :)
ReplyDeleteWe ARE doing this and we WILL get there...7 pounds is nothing to sneeze at...AND my goal is 10 pounds for Feb. too...here we go!
