i just wanna feel this moment.
Jul. 19th, 2013 10:50 amI told myself I'd weigh today, and at the same time, told myself not to get upset if the numbers didn't say what I wanted them to say - that being any decrease in weight. I approached this without a point of reference in mind really; I knew what I weighed about two months ago, and I knew I'd gone up since then, but not how FAR up. I didn't weigh when I got home from California to get an idea of where I stood, so although I *think* today is progress, I'm not sure. So I'm considering this my starting point, and it will be interesting in about two weeks when I weigh again.
I'm not going to get on the scales every day.
I'm NOT going to agonize over every choice I make.
I'm not going to torment myself if I don't lose "enough," etc.
I had a piece of chocolate zucchini cake last night after eating healthy all day - in fact, I just realize quite by accident, I had NO meat at all yesterday. I was a little hungrier than normal, BUT I ate pretty well. I had:
So anyway, long story short now I've rambled about what I'm eating (I'm about to make a huge smoothie this morning, YUM), I got on the scales, and I'm at 230.5. The ONLY reference I have, like I said above, is where I was awhile back, at 232-233. So I'm looking forward to seeing how the next week and a half-two weeks goes. I am determined to get back to the gym this week so I can start adding some weights back into my work-out; I'm afraid to do TOO much without the weights to keep strengthening or toning. I was doing so well on bench - so near my goal of benching 100 pounds, and I was starting on the military press, which was kicking my butt. So I miss all of that, plus Zumba, and my time on the elliptical. That's my goal for this week.
Happy Friday, guys!

I had a piece of chocolate zucchini cake last night after eating healthy all day - in fact, I just realize quite by accident, I had NO meat at all yesterday. I was a little hungrier than normal, BUT I ate pretty well. I had:
- 1 and 1/2 bananas for breakfast
- Lunch was mixed vegetables (fresh squash, fresh mushrooms, onions, fresh bell and banana peppers) sauteed in olive oil and salt free Mrs Dash, and a baked sweet potato. YUM. It was a bit of a late lunch but it kept me full until early evening.
- Snack was another banana.
- Dinner was a huge salad, with mixed lettuce (including romaine), and baby spinach, with two hard boiled eggs. I ate late because I got home from working on a friend's computer, so I didn't want anything too heavy.
