Week 3

So I got on the scale early this week, I know I know I said I wasn’t going to get on until Friday… but I did… and the verdict is I lost 2 more lbs!  So I’m down unofficially 10 lbs.  Not too shabby in 3 weeks.  I still have a way to go I know and I’ll take my picture on Friday… who knows that’s in another couple of days maybe I’ll be down another pound or so.  That would be fabulous but if not… that’s okay too because 10 lbs is still 10 lbs that’s a pretty good victory.  If I can just keep it UP!  Who knows what I could be down if I wouldn’t have lost it this weekend, but we are looking forward not backwards ;) 

 

I did stop entering food into Lose It.  I know I know but here’s the problem.  When I enter the information into Lose it!  That gives me “extra calories” so what I do is I over eat b/c I eat through the extra calories and that isn’t going to work.  So here’s my plan.  I’m going to create a new exercise tab through Lose It where it will record my calories but it won’t deduct my exercise calories b/c I still want to make note when I exercise I just don’t want to overdo my calories b/c I have “extra”  I need to keep my budget down.  I find when I am doing that I do really well and really lose weight it’s when I’m like ‘oh I can eat that chocolate cake b/c I exercised” that’s when I get into trouble.  I’m not saying that  I NEVER have a piece of chocolate cake, I’m just saying that I can’t justify my cake just b/c I exercised. 

 

I also have a tangible goal in mind as well.  I would like to have a regular sized towel fit around myself…  I have big towels that will go around me and close, but I can’t get normal towels to fit around me with it gapping a LOT.  So that’s my tangible goal.  I have noticed my clothes (my garments especially) feeling looser.  Not like “oh my gosh I need more clothes” but not as “tight” as they could be.  It’s all about the baby steps.  It’s going to take a while to change my life and I have to keep that in mind, but it’s hard. 

 

I have to keep an eye on the prize and continue to work out at least 5 times  to 6 times per week, but I haven’t hit the 6^th time yet but I’m a working progress.  I have a new routine that we learned last night with Abbey that I was able to write it all down and we will do that tonight.  I have to say today I’m not NEAR as sore as I was the last couple of weeks which is GREAT.  Small victories!  I have also found when I work out every day when I go with Abbey I’m not near as weak.  I feel REALLY weak when I’m working out with her, but I am able to push myself more and do more.  It’s kind of fun… but fun in a not so crazy oh my gosh I LOVE working out but it’s good to see my body changing and get more endurance.  I can’t wait until I get to the point where I get more and more and have to add weights b/c I’m getting SOOOO STRONG.  Yeah Yeah I know J 

 

So another update will come with my Official Weigh in and picture on Friday J  We will see if we have any change J
