Diet Day 39

They changed up the plan on me, so this week I started with a completely different menu. It has gone okay, but it's been an adjustment coming off of two weeks of eating whatever.

I surprisingly did well - even though I needed to supplement a bit because I was starving. I lost 3 lbs! Yay!

So, here's the summary.

Thurs 7/5: Sign up day. Starting amount I want to lose: 46 lbs to go

Friday 7/6: Got my menus. Somehow I was down 3 lbs. 43 lbs to go

Wed 7/11: First weigh in and Day 5 on diet: down 5 lbs. 38 lbs to go

Wed 7/18: Second weigh in and Day 12 on diet: down 1.5 lbs. 36.5 lbs to go

Wed 7/25: Third weigh in and Day 19 on diet: down 4 lbs. 32 lbs to go

Wed 8/1: Fourth weigh in and Day 26 on diet: down 2 lbs. 30 lbs to go

Wed 8/22: Fifth weigh in and Day 32 on diet: up 1 lb. 31 lbs to go

Wed 8/29: Sixth weigh in and Day 39 on diet: down 3 lbs. 28 to go.

Total weight loss: 18 lbs

Diet Day 32 (A little late)

So I didn't count the weeks I was on vacation because I knew it wasn't going to go well. I tried my best. I did great for the first few days of vacation: it was only my sister in law and I, so I had to do all the cooking and cleaning. Then everyone else arrived - and so did the junk food. My inlaws were great about trying to plan things that I could eat and then I did most of the cooking, so the first week wasn't too terrible. The second week, we were with my family and ugh! There wasn't a vegetable to be found in the house! I had to beg to get some veggies. I know that I didn't eat nearly enough the whole time I was there, so I had to snack to fill in and we didn't have the best things to snack on.

The good news: I'm only up one pound.

So, here's the summary.

Thurs 7/5: Sign up day. Starting amount I want to lose: 46 lbs to go

Friday 7/6: Got my menus. Somehow I was down 3 lbs. 43 lbs to go

Wed 7/11: First weigh in and Day 5 on diet: down 5 lbs. 38 lbs to go

Wed 7/18: Second weigh in and Day 12 on diet: down 1.5 lbs. 36.5 lbs to go

Wed 7/25: Third weigh in and Day 19 on diet: down 4 lbs. 32 lbs to go

Wed 8/1: Fourth weigh in and Day 26 on diet: down 2 lbs. 30 lbs to go

Wed 8/22: Fifth weigh in and Day 32 on diet: up 1 lb. 31 lbs to go

Total Weight Loss: 15 lbs. :(


Let's hope I get back on track and get going again!

Diet Day 26

I've been doing okay. There were two days that I didn't get to work out in the morning and I could tell that I was stressed out by it because I went back to my emotional eating mode. Amazingly enough I still lost this week, but I should be by the ridiculous working out I am doing.

I'm training for a triathlon right now and I'm feeling pretty good about my fitness level. I've never put it all together yet, but I've done 7 mile runs, 14 mile bikes and an hour of swimming as my max workouts. So far the best I've done is 10 mile bike immediately followed by a 3.5 mile run. Today I did a 14.2 mile bike and 45 minutes of swimming (7.1 miles to the pool, swam for an hour and 7.1 miles home). I know at this point I could finish the triathlon, so I'm excited to be better prepared for it as time goes on.
