I went to the gym tonight and got a great workout in. I also weighed in, and I was not surprised to find that I did not reach my goal for the week: 179. Instead I was at 180, so I still dropped one pound. I worked out quite a few times last week, so that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I was not disciplined enough in my eating habits, especially over the weekend. Some of the time I could feel my body just craving food, partly because it needed replenishment. And while I want to feed my body…I’m not looking to lose weigh in an unhealthy manner…unfortunately there were times when I overfed myself.
Alas, I have both a positive and a negative for the week…I did manage to lose weight…just not as much as I’d hoped.
I definitely think I can lose 2 pounds this week by being a little more vigilant with what I eat, and perhaps I’ll make it down 3 and catch up to the path I set out last week. I’ll be happy with 2 pounds…but we’ll see what I can do!
What I’ve decided to do on my quest to 170…I will reward myself with a Blizzard when I hit 170. Maybe I’ll have a big Blizzard party and invite everyone who encourages me from here till then. Maybe…we’ll see.
Until then…I’m giving up Blizzards, milkshakes, and any other ice cream/milk/candy combo…so no knock-off’s will slip through, either. I’m also going to stay away from fries…french, steak, waffle, or otherwise. I’ve done much better facing these temptations, but by giving these things up completely I will be constantly reminded of what I’ve given up and why…hopefully helping my other eating habits, too.
On my way to 170!
