Again? Come on?!!!?!?!

Soooo excited!!

4Lbs lost this week.  Making my total weight loss since May 24lbs. Making my total weight loss since February 2010 67Lbs! Ughhhh 24Lbs that’s like a 4yr old or something, isn’t it?!  

I knew it would be good. I worked hard this week (just like I always do) but I could just feel it all week. I knew todays weigh in was going to be good. I was hoping it would be 267-269. I just wanted so badly to break the 270’s. Boy I tell ya when I stepped on that scale and saw 266 I just about fainted. I could not believe I beat my goal by one pound…AGAIN!!!

This past week I introduced what I named the “cardio mix” into my workout. This is where I do 15 minutes on the crazy machine, 15 minutes on the bike, and 15-20 minutes on the elliptical. It is a great work out, it keeps things interesting, it makes time go by faster, and it allows me to work different muscles.

On Sunday I wanted to squeeze in a walk/jog before work and was really pushing it for time. Half way through my walk it started to rain and I do not think my HRM is water proof, needless to say I jogged much more then I walked and got in a great work out in only 25 minutes.

This weekend the boy’s family is coming in to town. We have a lot of not so great eating planned and I am already having worries about it. I have decided to make a list similar to the one I planned for my vacation last month. This way I am accountable for my actions, I can keep track of what exactly it is I planned, and I can hopefully have less anxiety about the whole thing.

I know eating for one day won’t undo all my hard work. I know life happens and you have to adapt and roll with the punches. But when I have had so much success I get high anxiety when I know my routine is going to be disrupted.  I think most people would be happy to know “oh vacation is coming up I can relax for a week and not worry about exercise or dieting” but I like it. I like eating right and working out. It makes me feel good and when I veer off track I always regret it, not because I feel guilty but because I literally feel like shit. I feel fat and lazy and just all around yucky.

                            Here is my planned lists of eating/exercise for the upcoming weekend.

*Thursday  everyone is getting Chinese food  I will make weight watchers chicken fried rice the night before to have ready for myself on Thursday night.

I will do my walk/jog or a work out video in the morning before work.

*Friday we are going to Boston for the day. I will not exercise on Friday.

I will pack my own lunch and snacks just like I would for work to keep in the car on our trip to Boston.

Friday night I will have a small serving of the buffalo mac and cheese my brother is making for everyone.

*Saturday I will go to the gym for an hour in the morning.

Saturday’s food will be on track except for Saturday night dinner at an amazing restaurant.  I will not stress about Saturday night’s meal.

Sunday I will do my walk/jog in the morning  and there is no reason Sundays food cannot be on track.

Well that is that, I will be sure to follow up with this list after the weekend.

Happy Monday everyone!
