I wanted to blog more than 1x a week but I did not have a lot to say this week. Yes, Im being serious. It is a shock to me as well.
Diet
This week was a rough week for me. I was struggling to find stuff to eat as I found that I was not hungry. There were days I did not even drink two shakes. They really do fill me up! We ate out a few times also, so this provided me with an opportunity to try and eat right and still watch my carbs. Most days I hit the 950-1050 range for calories. I am not trying to completely eliminate carbs as that is unrealisitic for me. I am, however, making smarter choices regarding the carbs I do eat.
Workout
This week was not very consistent for me with working out either. I was doing some baby photography shoots in the morning as well as a wedding so that put my gym time on hold. I did make it out Tuesday afternoon and did 30 minutes on the arc trainer as well as my upper body on weights. Wednesday was my first try at walking and light jogging outdoors. I was able to complete 2.44 miles in 40 minutes. Alas, I did not get to work out Thursday or Friday as my left foot was very tight and would not allow much movement for cardio. I did venture outside today for a quick 30 minute 1.8 miles.
Results
The scale went up a bit BUT I expected that. I did lose 6.5 last week! That is a lot of weight in one week. I figure my body was doing the standard week two objection to shedding weight. Look at those measurements. I am down almost 3 inches on my waist. I just wish you was my "low waist" and not my real "old lady" waist since noone makes jeans for my real waist that don't look like MOM JEANS! So, needless to say, I am very excited to see the measurements go down even if the scale went up a smidge.
