I'M DOWN 10 LBS!!!!!
I've also been tracking my calories on my iPad for 20 consecutive days. That in it self is an accomplishment for me since I'm awful about keeping up with things!
I haven't done zumba in a while....that sucks. I think I kinda burnt my self out on it after doing it for 6 days straight. One day I decided to do Michael Jackson Experience on the Wii instead. That was quite the work out haha. I'm sure that my neighbours enjoyed the show as I repeatedly danced to Thriller and Billie Jean while trying to beat my own record high score.
Sadly a friend of ours passed away the Wednesday before last and we went to the funeral in South Dakota last Monday. That was a tough day for the diet, not only because of stress; but also because after the funeral everyone decided to go to the local bar for drinks. I had successfully not had soda in over two weeks but I had a killer head ache and knew I needed some caffeine. I painstakingly ordered a Dr. Pepper, but enjoyed every drop of it. I also was starving and the only thing the bar served was fried food....I felt so guilty eating that half grilled cheese and fries! Tim also wanted the appetizer basket that had hot wings, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeno poppers. I only had one cheese stick, one popper, and two of the hot wings. The hot wings weren't breaded so that made me feel a little less guilty, but not much.
The next morning I was expecting to get on the scale and see that I had gained a little weight back, but instead I maintained! That just goes to show that splurging once in two weeks isn't going to kill my mission!!! I did really well for the next week, but then this Saturday we had the award ceremony for the fire department. For once they actually held it at a place that there was a bar! I don't have a whole lot of friends when we go to things for the fire department, but I do have one good friend. So being a little up tight made me really want a drink haha. So Saturday night I had 3 Malibu and Pineapples along with some delicious food and a small slice of cake. Sunday morning I glared at the scale while deciding if I really wanted to get on it or not. I did. And I maintained!
So today, Monday, is the 4th day at the same weight: 173.2 but I'm ok with it because I know I haven't been working out like I should and I also have not had the best diet for the last few days.
I'm hoping that my mom and I will start going to the Rec to go walking when she gets off work. And I know that my cousin Samantha will help me! She is always a great motivator and she's been working with a trainer so she knows some exercises to help :)
Well that's all for today! Have a great one, and a giant high five for a step in the right direction!!
Success!!!!
You are doing well! Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully with adding more moving in and staying on track with the foods you will start the decline again! I am glad you can see that maintaining is just as positive as losing. I have trouble always seeing that also, but it sure is better than gaining! Keep up the great work!
