It's already Week 3, and I do NOT want to write this post (but I am thinking if I don't then I will be hiding and if I do then maybe just maybe I can pick myself up and continue on this healthy life style change). Yep, those dreaded words {gain}, okay in all fairness it was only .2 (yes look closely that is a POINT, I only gained POINT TWO POUNDS), but it might as well of been 2 lbs, I was so SAD.
AH, I've been working so hard, and eating so well and even bumped up my exercise AGAIN. And not only did I not LOOSE weight, I gained. It's only week 3 and I am a little discouraged right about now. Over all I am still down 3.2 lbs, but I am going to make some MORE changes this week and see what happens.
Here is a recap of what I did last week and what I plan on changing this week.
Photo 1: Healthy Salad, this was a delicious salad I made with a homemade ranch dressing made from greek yogurt. I will share the recipe soon, it was yummy! In order to add in some extra greens this next week, I proportioned enough salads for the week from my awesome farmers market trip on Sunday, this has really taken the guess work out of "what's for lunch" everyday (chicken and salad).Photo 2 & 4: My protein shakes. I LOVE this for my diet, I make them up every morning with all kinds of amazing fruits and veggies, along with the 2 scoops of protein powder it's around 300 calories for breakfast and it keeps me full until around 10am for my morning snack. I have actually decided to remove this from my diet (or at least not have one everyday). I am not sure if this is part of my reason for not loosing weight or not, but from week one when I lost 2.7 lbs to week 2 and week 3, this was the ONLY thing I changed in my diet, so I am gonna try and eliminate it this week and see what happens.
Photo 3: NEW Snack Idea Apples with dip, not such a new idea but the dip is NEW to me. Greek Yogurt and Peanut Butter the scale is 1 part peanut butter to 2 parts greek yogurt. It's OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD-DELICIOUS and I feel so guilty eating it, but it's scrumptious.
My son and I took a trip to a new Farmer's Market we located just a few minutes from our house (and it's open everyday), very cool. We are going to try and make it a habit to visit it every Sunday and stock up for the week on all kinds of delicious items. I just LOVE that I only bought ONE of each item, so that everyday I can enjoy a different fruit or veggie instead of eating the same ole' apple or banana every single day.
And the last thing I added to my diet/exercise plan this week was walking/running around the park (yes I love this FREE app on my iphone that tracks all this info, it's called Free Pedometer). It's 4 miles and I try and walk as fast as I can with a few runs here and there. I am hoping to increase my run time over time and have this help me in my weight loss. I did this TWICE this week and NOPE didn't help at all. Like I said I gained weight instead, I am hoping this was just a freak thing and that this eventually help me loose weight. This next week I am planning on trying a Zumba Class and a Cardio Class and try and KICK my body into going along for this ride of dieting and LOOSING weight. Until next week.....
Starting Weight: 182Tonight's Weigh-In: 178.8 DOWN this week + 0.2 lbs
TOTAL loss for this challenge < 3.2 > lbs Goal for Next Tuesday Weigh-In: 177Challenge Goal Weight (10 weeks): 164 Ultimate Goal Weight: 139
I guess this is exactly what I needed this weekend. Lunch (salad of course), Facebook (iphone) and a Star Magazine (and I don't even read this stuff).
