I would love to say I am only a slacker when it comes to updating my blog...but after this non-productive, poor eating weekend, I guess I'm a slacker on the workout front too.
Let's recap: Wednesday I rocked out 7 miles.
Thursday was Bible Study, so no workout there. But it was weigh in day.
Starting weight: 125.5
Weigh-in: 125
Percentage of weight loss: .99% OUCH!!!! I didn't even lose 1% of my body weight this week!
Friday, I went to the gym for a long workout. Running didn't go so well and I only put up a little more than 2 miles. But I got my ab and leg workout in, so it wasn't a complete loss.
Saturday, forget it!
Sunday, forget it!
So here we are, Monday. After I saw the numbers I put up this week, I knew I needed to get my act in gear. While I know I am in a competition with Jo, I really feel like I am going to happy whoever wins as long as we both keep on this and continue to lose weight. I really like this journey with my sister. I need to keep workking hard because I want Ben to come home and be completely jaw-dropped at how I look. I am blessed to have a husband who doesn't care what I look like and is over-the-top supportive of my efforts, but knowing that he won't see me once on this weight loss journey and I get the excitement of a "big reveal" is cool. It is really funny to see the wives come out in full-force the second the guys leave. Everyone wants to look A-MAZING when these guys come home!!
So I ran 4 miles this morning. I didn't feel like I had to convince myself of going further either. I felt sooooo good. I was cruisin' along, sweating my tail off and rocking it out. It took less than 1 hour too, so that was positive for me.
Meals for this week are pretty standard:
Running mornings on M and F is yogurt with granola and a banana sushi wrap before I run
Running morning on W is yogurt with granola and a scrambled egg white and a banana sushi
T and R mornings is Special K cereal and a Special K protein water for a mid-morning snack
Lunches are grilled chicken salads (I prepped EVERYTHING on Friday, so it take 4 seconds to put it all together now)
Dinner on M: fish and sweet potato
Dinner on T: chicken nuggets with veggie
Dinner on W: spaghetti with veggie
Dinner on R: frozen meal
Dinner on F: fish and a veggie
Afternoon snacks are either apple with a string cheese or yogurt w/granola.
