I know that I am day late but last week was a good week. I lost 2.8 pounds!!! I am not getting my hopes up but I feel that was a good start. I am looking to lose about 1 to 2 pounds per week and I exceeded that wish/goal. Last week, I did not eat the best everyday but I did drink my 52+ ounces of water everyday. Every morning I drink a small amount of orange juice with breakfast. I found that I was "drinking" a ton of calories so I decided to just drink water during the week and if I want, I can drink ginger ale (the only soda I drink) or lemonade on the weekend. I really think the water has a lot to do with it and working out. Last week, I worked out four times. I will be the first to admit that I did not go hard in the gym, it had been about three weeks since my last visit so I wanted to ease back into things. I just did high intensity on the treadmill and ran for about 4-5 minutes. I want to get back into mainly running on the treadmill or at least doing intervals and maybe my cycling class. Last spring, I went to the 5AM on Wednesdays religiously. Then summer came and I got out of my routine and its been shot since then. Now, I struggle to get out of bed at 7AM on any given week day so I am going to build up the courage to start going back maybe when we are done with the snow.
So this week, I am doing some of the same things as far as exercise and I am definitely eating better. I haven't had a piece of chocolate candy all week long and its Wednesday...shoot, that's an accomplishment in itself! I love chocolate candy and boy have I been tempted with all the Valentine's Day candy out but I take one look at the hearts and kisses and remind myself that V-day is my deadline for the first 10 pounds I want to lose.
Today I have a snow day and I'm already bored so here's to drinking lots of water and staying out of the fridge and pantry.
