Days 28-33 - January 28 - February 2
Weight Loss - Fluctuated between 218.4 and 220.9 - up and down
The past week I had lost my way. It was one of my busiest weeks at work in awhile, plus rehearsal and gig for the big band, my birthday, and the super bowl. I had some good days, and I had some bad days. Lucky to say, I did not have all bad days. But the weight fluctuation, day to day, was huge based on the days i had.
Some of the high(low)lights of the week:
Birthday was rough in terms of food - everyone tries to give you food. I'm part of the birthday club at school, and each person gets a day to provide the food, and then someone else provides the food for your birthday. SOOOO, there were reeses, hersheys kisses, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, and bronwies. IT was pretty awesome. Also didn't bring lunch that day, so I had the "best of" the school caf. That night, though, surprisingly, I chose to go to BONEFISH GRILL for dinner, and had a nice chicken marsala dinner. Ended up eating better than usual for my birthday dinner!
Super Bowl day was up and down. It was good all day - went to the gym, ran a 5k in under 33 minutes! and then played racquetball. Followed it up by picking a lots of small food, and a chinese food dinner. Not a buffet, and I only ordered 1 meal this time. Often I get Chicken and Broccoli AND sweet and sour chicken, with won ton soup. INstead, I only got the C&B and the soup, BUT i didn't eat the soup. Ended up picking at other stuff all night. Definitely ate more than i exercised. Good thing I exercised! Feel good too after getting a good workout. AND I did the 5k without stopping to walk at all. Started at 5mph and built it up to 6.5, slowly and steadily. Didn't really get too tired until about 23 minutes in. (Although, it was still pretty boring.) Also, didn't drink any beer during the game. ALL WATER.
Broke the fast food ban - after 13 months. It was "birthday"gift to myself. We went on Friday because I couldn't go Thursday. I had a chicken sandwich and the smallest fries with a diet soda. Happy that I didn't supersize it, get a regular soda, or top it off with the double hamburger I usually get in addition. On Saturday night, Kristyn and I also went to McDonalds while we trudged out way through Super Bowl Boulevard. Again, had a sandwich and fries, but a regular soda this time.
There were some good meals, and good choices throughout the week. It was not a complete wash, but I am unhappy about the week I had. I vow to get back on track, starting today. Made the turkey chili yesterday, bought stuff for salad, etc, so I will get back on track.
Month 2 - plan is to get down to 210- which will put me at 20 lbs loss in the first 2 months. If I can do better, I will, but I will not be impatient about it. I lost about 10 the first month, while not being nearly perfect. Which i am happy with. If I am too "perfect" then I will end up failing and not retaining the weight loss when I am done. WIth that in mind, I have to remind myself that at this point, I have to do BETTER in month 2 if I want to lose the same amount of weight. I must work out more, eat better, have less "bad" days, etc. The more I lose, the harder and slower it will come off.
February - 28 days - 10 LBS. LETS GO.
