A lil backstory! I had gotten down to my lowest weight right before Christmas! I ate whatever I wanted for about 10 days, I knew I'd gain a pound or two.
I stepped on the scale on Dec 28th and I had gained 6 lbs!
It had taken me from Dec 28th until today to lose all 6 lbs!
I was working out some and eating around 1600 calories and just couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing any of the weight!
So this week I stayed a tad longer at the gym, and have faithfully stayed under 1350 calories. Which is what I needed to drop those 6 lbs!
Last Friday was my free day. I only had 800 calories until dinner and I would guess I ate around 500, and then had a small shake from McDees and a hot chocolate at 3 am on my drive home from all night scrapbooking. So that goes to show that a free meal doesn't hurt you if you do it once a week!
I was starting to get discouraged, but I kept tracking my calories and my exercise and it paid off. It's nice to see the scales go down!
Seeing this at Walmart tonight will keep me motivated to keep going!
Bathing suits out in Jan? I was super shocked to already see these out!
I really need a new one before our beach trip to Florida this summer!
While I was at Walmart I grabbed some things to make for lunch tomorrow!
I think this looks super yummy! The potato is small so it's a 100 calories. The mushrooms are zero. Sautéed in calorie free butter with garlic salt on them and the broccoli I steamed. I do realize the mushrooms and broccoli do have some calories, but less then 50, so I don't even count it! The sour cream is 40 calories and the cheese is 60, for a grand total of 200, or 250 if I count the veggies.
That Tupperware plate is full. And it's yummy. I don't consider any of that diet food. I will be excited for lunch tomorrow!
I'm going to try to set my phone alarm to get up early in the morning to workout. I really want to start working out in the mornings, rather then at night. I hate to miss family time!
I'm now back to the smallest weight I've been in ten years. The scales always seem to stop moving at this point!
My goal on Jan 1st was to be 3 lbs lighter then I am now at the end of the month! I have a full two weeks to lose 3 lbs. that's a very attainable goal!
I'm hoping to buy an elliptical sometime around March. I will then give up my gym membership. I will miss the bike and treadmill, but will be so nice on busy nights, to just jump on my own machine!
I'm heading to bed and wishing for a couple of inches of snow ;/)
