Week 4 - Blah

Day 30, January 30th, 2010
Weight: 142.2
Loss from Last week: +0.6
Total Weight Lost: 8.5lbs

Arrgg....not sure what happened this week. Well, I lie. I did pretty well on calories, but not so good on exercise. I didn't do anything Wed-today, so that's probably why. I started feeling like I was getting a cold on Tuesday, so by Wednesday I had no energy. Sigh. When I weighed on Tuesday it read 140.8, so I'm not sure what happened. There is a possibility that my period is coming soon, so that might be to blame too. Anyhow, hopefully this little cold thing goes away over the weekend and I can be back on track on Monday.

I think that I am going to step it up on the exercise and start the interval running workout that I found. I think that would help the numbers too- maybe I'm on a mini-plateau? I can definitely run for several minutes without a problem, so I'll see how it goes. I also think that even by breaking the rules slightly by eating different foods- tortilla chips and cheese for example (It was a small plate! 350 calories!!!) that it throws off the cycle because of the refined sugars and flours. I don't know!

Anyhow...must try harder this week. I can't believe it's been 30 days already! Even with the weird gain, 8.5lbs in a month is not too bad. At least I didn't gain 8.5lbs...Imagine if I were writing a depressing blog about how I'm out of control and hate myself, blah, blah, blah. Now, if I'd said 159.2, then I'd be pissed.

There's a good amount of perspective on things!
