Even though it was 11 degrees I got out of bed and headed to WW.
230.2 at home/232.0 at WW - 3 pound loss this week! I wish every week could be that great. The reason for that high a loss can be attributed to the following:
1) Last week was towards the beginning of my cycle
2) It was my first week
3) I had a low stress week at work
4) I tracked and walked 10K steps a day
#1-3 won’t be part of this coming week so I’ll have to rely on #4 to get me through this week and all the weeks to come.
Wednesday - Friday were pretty ordinary days
Wednesday I worked from home - I walked on the treadmill 4 times. My husband made pulled pork and pasta for dinner but I added in my own veggies.
Thursday I walked 3 times at work and then did W4D2 of C25K. I asked my husband to bring home a pizza after his haircut. I had veggies I wanted to use up for a salad. I thought maybe I’d only have 1 piece but the slices are that big and I knew I could have 2. Didn’t want to deprive myself and when I checked my calories in MyFitnessPal I was well within my range (except for sodium!). I had a 8:30 meeting Friday so I went grocery shopping Thursday night.
Friday I worked from Horne. At first I thought I was getting sick because I felt awful in the morning but thankfully that went away pretty quickly. I ended my day with my pre-WW “dinner” of a banana, Nutella and a flaxseed tortilla. This time I weighed the Nutella - 38g.
My activity for Friday was to organize my tracker. I felt like I needed a bookmark so I laminated a picture from our Out West trip (there are 2 more pictures on the back) - unflattering pictures but to give me inspiration to work hard coming up to our next trip. I also made a pocket for my WW booklet which has a picture from 2014 (right before my 1/2 marathon after which I started gaining) and another picture from our WDW trip in November (again, unflattering)
So what for the next week?
Keep doing what I’ve been doing - I am not going to change up my eating this week. This week could be more stressful and I’ll be coming up on my mid-cycle (I think - perimenopause sucks so I never know) which has been tripping me up the last couple of years. So I am hoping that tracking and walking through it will help.
Happy Weekend!
Good job on first getting to the weigh in (brrrr) but even more exciting the loss!!!!! You rocked that week!!!
ReplyDeleteYour plan for tracking, eating and step count sounds like a perfect plan!!!!
My monthly ‘non-friend’ for the last year had been whacked out also...it’s a mystery when it will arrive! I keep praying ‘never’!!!!
