It's been about 2 and 1/2 weeks since I've written anything.....but I am happy to report I am still going strong!
Last week was difficult. I was on the road for 2 full days and out of town staying in a B & B for 4 days, eating almost every meal out. I was also out of routine. I am a routine oriented person, a little set in my ways since I have gotten older, but I had a great time and it was so worth it. My son graduated, and I was probably the most proud mom on the planet.
I stuck to the plan while driving on the way out there and on the way back. It was Monday's all you can eat mexican buffet lunch that I probably ate too much of. I stayed away from the cheese, started with salad, but still ate alot of meat. Once again I was uncomfortably full. Then we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. I am a pizza junkie. I love it all. However, I limited myself to 2 slices of thin crust pepperoni instead of half of the supreme with extra cheese. Tuesday lunch was a bit better, salad from Sonic with grilled chicken. However, dinner was a bit over the edge. They brought out hot bread with real butter.....and you probably know the rest of that story. I did have a salad from the most awesome salad bar I have ever seen. Then I ordered green chili stew for dinner, and they brought out more hot bread with butter. It was really good.
And now for the results when I weighed in on Saturday??????? I STAYED THE SAME! I was so excited that I hadn't gained any weight, which I thought I might. Also, I didn't exercise at all for the whole week. I did get right back on track when I got back on Thursday and have been since.
This week I am using my Wii fit to do Yoga for 1/2 an hour every other day, as well as the advanced step and rhythm boxing. I like knocking out the bag at the end of every session on the boxing.
Today I did my Yoga, did the running activity, which winded me, then rode my bike with my Kube and music. The problem is that the first 5 songs are all fast kick butt songs, which means I rode really hard for the first 15 minutes or so, which made it really difficult to smoke and sing. But then, I barely made it home from the front of the neighborhood. I thought I would die. My legs hurt so bad! I did manage to push through it to get home, but only because there was no other way to get there. If there had been, I probably would have taken it. And all I got for an hours' worth of exercise were 4 stinking activity points! What the heck! It sure felt like I should have gotten about 15 activity points.
My goal is to lose 60 pounds by July 18. My friend is taking me on a 5 day cruise for my birthday! I am so excited. It is also a really great goal to work toward. THANK YOU SUSAN!
The one thing I don't understand is how that movie stars do it. I know they must not really eat to stay so thin. Their body is so much of their identity. I am thankful that I am not a movie star! I would be the most body dense woman in the spotlight! Although I have to say that I am so looking forward to looking better and feeling better. It would also be really nice if all my clothes weren't so tight! Another week and a half down.
Hoping for a big loss this week.......
