Weight: 138.3
Loss from Last week: .4lbs
Total Weight Lost: 12.4lbs
Meeh. Honestly, I was afraid to get on the scale this morning because I haven't done the greatest this week. Sigh- at least there was a small loss. Better than gaining, I guess. Well, I know why I didn't lose that much for sure. I only worked out I think 3 days this week rather than seven, and over the weekend I didn't track what I was eating at all. I kept my diet in mind, but that didn't stop me from eating chips, Wendy's and some other goodies. I am slightly encouraged when I look at the overall loss numbers (after removing the highest and the lowest numbers) to find that I'm averaging about 1.5lbs per week. Not the 2 lbs that I've been striving for, but a 1.5 average is actually pretty good.
Koa and I get the keys tomorrow to the house we're going to rent, so during the next week or so it's going to be difficult to fit in exercising because of moving. We'll be using the guest room as my workout area, which will be great because I'll have room to do exercise dvd's because in our current space it's too cramped and I hate doing them when Koa's in the room. We're moving the treadmill on Sunday along with the other big stuff, so if I'm not totally exhausted from the marathon moving session we're planning on doing I should be able to fit some exercise in. I'll also be doing all of the cleaning at our apartment, including renting a carpet shampooer so that will be some good exercise. Cleaning always makes me sweat...especially all the the particularly fun tasks like cleaning bathrooms.
So fingers crossed that this next week will be better! Something I need to work on for sure is sticking to my routine that I do during the week on the weekend. It's so much easier to eat right while I'm at work because I only can eat what I bring. There are definitely temptations, but it's a lot easier than when I have an entire selection of free goodies in the pantry like at home.
I can almost see the goal in mind...I'm shooting for between 115 and 125, so I still have about 15-20 lbs to go, but that feels a whole lot better than saying I have 35-40lbs to go. Slow and steady wins the race! May 1st is just a little more than 2 months away!
