Big Plans...Week Two

I guess technically, it's the end of week one, but here are the standings...

Day 7, January 8th, 2010
Weight: 145.6
Total Weight Lost: 5.1lbs
Dream Jeans: Hmmm. First pair of three? Not so much. I can button them, but I don't think that I'd wear them out in public for fear that the button may explode or I'd rip the butt out when I sat down. Not too much progress there, as expected.

I was surprised by the number on the scale, but I think that the reason that it's such a dramatic loss so quickly is that I weighed last week the day after new year's and I had eaten waaaaaay too many chips and drank too many Bud Lights the night before, so I think that my body way full of garbage. Plus, I've been drinking water like a fiend and eating a lot of fiber, so I think my body is just flushing itself out. We'll see how next week goes. I think my friend Flow is coming next week so that will probably skew the number a bit.

Pros for this week:
I did the treadmill workout everyday- pretty easy, but enought to work up a little sweat, but not too much that I'm not too sore the next day. Also did at least 25 situps and butt-raise things each day as well. As far as eating goes, I've done pretty well too. One night I ate too much, but I think the average caloric intake for the week is pretty good. I'm right around 1400 per day, which is what worked for me last time.

Cons for this week:
As mentioned above, went a little overboard on the weekend. I need to practice self control :)

Goals for next week:
Do some strength training. My friend Kathi is going to give me an old weight set with a DVD, so I'd like to add that in at least twice a week.

Until next week...
