Day 44

Hello!
Since yesterday was full of mixed emotions thanks to a gain and eating within my points, I was ready to keep the momentum going while improving on from last week. Weight loss definitely has its share of Pyrrhic victories where you lose a lot of battles, but eventually win the war. Either way, I am feeling good about today! Let’s break it down, shall we?

Oh yeah…Go Spurs.

Breakfast:I had Bacon and eggs with some bread that Megan made this weekend. (She makes some killer bread. Our house smelled delicious this weekend.) 10 points

Lunch:I had some leftover spaghetti that was ridiculously delicious. For dessert, I had some Trader Joe’s Frozen Greek Yogurt. It was pretty good, but it’s a little too tangy for me. I would add some honey and strawberries next time. 17 points

Exercise:Today was Start 2 Fitness workout day! (Shoutout to my Team MoWe peeps!) The first half of the hour, we did circuit training and weight machines, and then we did an endurance run on the track. During the step up station, our trainers encouraged us to hold weights while we stepped up. I picked a 40 pound kettlebell because that pretty much meant I was stepping up almost 300 pounds. It made me appreciate how far I’ve come and where I could be without that much weight attached to me. I’m really ready to get this extra weight off, folks.

Dinner:When I got home, I had a piece of bread (3 points) and a serving and a half of this delicious dish called Mujaddara. Nothing better than lentils, rice and caramelized onions. 14 points.

After dinner, I had some light brie and crackers. 5 points.

So that’s about it! 49 points of deliciousness.

See ya tomorrow.

Oh yeah…
GO USA!!!!

Day 43 Weigh In Day

I don’t feel like I’m going to do my Dad justice in this post. He has been nothing but an amazing man in my life. I have been incredibly to have parents who have laughed, cried and prayed with me during my 27 years on this earth. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader, Dad.

So, now that I’ve bawled all over my keyboard…

I have a pretty big presentation at work tomorrow and I’ve been working on it all evening so I’m pretty wiped and I’m going to keep this relatively brief.

This week, I was incredible with my eating and my fitness! Until Thursday, that is.
I was on point for most of the week, and I just let my guard down on Thursday and Friday. While I was actually pretty good on Saturday, it couldn’t make up for the damage of the other days. Because of that, I gained 1.4 this week. I’m not really thrilled, but it is what it is and I’ve already moved on. After I weighed, Megan and I sat down and talked about some of the issues we had last week and then talked about how we could do better this week. So after church, we got our grocery shopping out of the way and now we are set for the week, armed with healthy and delicious meals!

Today, I ate a total of 43 points (my lucky number. BT.) and I feel great and not deprived at all. According to WW, I’m supposed to eat 53 which is just insane so I modified it down.

So here’s to another week of healthy choices and a little better follow through! See ya tomorrow.
