Week 4 Day 25

I've been a bit of a slacker the past few days... But you know what? There is still progress.


Week 4, Day 25
Current Weight: 321

13 pounds gone! 

I still love the gym. And I'm finding new things to add to it as well. I've added weights into my routine, and have printed some infor about Yoga and Tabata that I'm going to do at home on days where I don't have time to get to the gym, or when I simply need a quick workout on my super busy days.

I'm still eating well. This week I've splurged a little more than normal, but I've made not bad choices. Instead of chowing down on Pizza, I had 1 slice, and then a large salad. And really, the pizza didn't do it for me... I kind of regretted eating it.  I've pretty much cut out a ton of carbs, and really only eat whole grain ones now.

I've kind of lost all craving for fast food... which is weird considering that I used to eat out several days a week. When I went out for dinner with some friends the other night instead of getting that burger that I really wanted, I got the hummus and veggie plate. It came with grilled bread as well, so I splurged and ate that with all the veggies. And I didn't get a drink that night either.

I don't remember drinking much besides water and Smoothies... smoothies are my new obsession. Fresh and frozen fruit, almond milk, some nut butter, either almond or peanut, maybe some agave syurup and greek yogurt. This is usually what I have for morning.... and right before dinner... and for snacks. But it's all good ingredients that I don't feel bad.

One thing I'm working on, especially this past week is making sure that I am counting my WW points. I was so good at that, so I really need to be using that app of mine... I bought a cookbook with recipes, so I'm going to try those too.

Portions? Still a problem sometimes... And I've been getting better and really slimming those down. Sometimes when I'm super hungry I go a little nuts... but that leads me to the next point...

SNACK MORE. I need to. I need to make sure I'm eating something about every 2 hours, whether it's a Luna Bar or a handful of almonds, some fruit... It's harder at work since I'm usually busy running around doing things. mainly so I'm not starving when it comes to the next meal.

I need to drink more water. I mean, it's pretty much all I've been drinking... really don't drink much else now, no soda for about a month!!! But I just need to get more. Sitting here typing this is making me thirsty. Trying to really drink lots more so my body isn't retaining water weight.

So overall, I'm starting to settle into some really healthy habits. 

I haven't noticed too much difference physically. a little slimmer around my waist I think. And around my collar bones (why? this happened a long time ago. The weight goes from there but not my abdomen? ugh...) But I know that maybe another 10 pounds and it'll start to go. I want to lose 125 or more, so I know that I'm 10% done. And that's a good feeling.

And of course I wish it was all going faster... but I'll take what I get now and really kick it into even higher gear now.
