My week was pretty good all around. I saw lots of fresh veggies and fruit arrive in my home again…really frustrating how we can allow ourselves to slide. So have been working on bringing the healthy habit I at one time worked so hard to change back again.
I have to tell you, last weekend we went to a winery…before I knew Leah was going to tell us no wine… and bought 3 bottle of really good wine. They sit unopened! *sigh* I am being strong, because I do enjoy a glass now and again and it does help me sleep better…just 4 ounces…that is all. Soda is a no biggie for me…do not like the stuff.
Onto the weigh-in…
Last weeks weight: 323.8
This weeks weight: 326.0
Weight Difference this week: +2.2
Total weight loss: 36.4
I am OK with my week…not the results… but I will NOT allow the scale to define me…that number is NOT who I am and it will eventually get smaller and smaller. I am bloated…so I know this gain is a temporary one…TOM is here and I am thinking maybe 100 oz of water might be too much for me. I am going to dial it back to 80oz this week and see if I do better.
Over all I did what I should have done. I stayed in my calorie range, stayed away from processed foods and no soda, no alcohol and exercised at least 30 minutes a day.
This week I am kicking it up a lot more though…so be watching for that temp gain to be gone plus a lot more next week!
What will I do this week?
I will continue with what I started.
- Make attainable goals each week (adding to previous weeks when become part of my routine)
- Use my Body Bugg to track activity and steps
- Attend the Momavation “TV” show each Monday night(Sorry Hubs, will be to bed late on Mondays)
Tuesday I am in the garden gathering some spinach and beet greens for my lunch and conversation begins with my DS6…
- DS: Mom…what are those?
- Me: Those are beet greens.
- DS: Can you eat them?
- Me: Yes I like them in my salads
- DS: So you can eat them raw then?
- Me: yes they are very good raw.
- DS: Can I have some?
- Me: Sure, why don’t you cut some yourself, then go wash it and taste it
- DS: ok….(after he washes and tastes the greens) Oh these are really good! I think I will have some more
Friday: My son and I…my 15 year old…have a date afternoon and he just got paid and wanted to hit the local Good Will after our walk to see if they had any X-Box games, so we went and were walking around looking for stuff and I happened upon this……brand new in its original wrapper. It is only 3.99 so my son tells me I better get it…so I do. I have been hearing a lot about this guy and his exercise routines and saw for a few minutes the other day when Leah was live streaming it and love that type of movement…so I agreed I needed to get it. I had planned on doing it today..but woke with a wicked headache that has not really gone away. I am hoping tomorrow my head is better and I can get to a workout with this DVD.
