Monday, Monday

Here's my Monday morning weigh-in information:
Goal: 160
Current: 229
Lost: 16
To go: 69

I've only lost one pound this week, which disappoints me, as I was losing more before that. But I think there are two reasons for this. First, I was at a wedding shower and a birthday party this weekend, both where food choices were limited, but I made do with what I had. Second was that I have started eyeballing food measurements, and I think that my eye isn't quite as well trained as I thought.

On the plus side, I took a 30 minute walk yesterday with my boyfriend so even though it wasn't much, it was still getting out and doing something. I'm also back at home now, so eating better shouldn't be a problem.

My goals for this week:
-Drink more water (my cross country team in high school had a slogan "pee clear!" to make sure you were drinking enough water - a little over the top in that you were going to the bathroom all the time, but I need to get back to carrying a water bottle with me)

-Really try and stick with the Self Challenge eating plan blocks - and not changing them around so I can have more ice cream, rather than eating veggies.

-Go to the gym or run outside three times this week. Currently scheduled for Tues, Thurs and Sat

-Do strength workouts on days not going to the gym

-Get back to writing down everything I eat. When I do I lose more weight.

Good luck on the week!! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.

Good luck!! If you're the type of person who has trouble drinking a lot of water, try adding the calorie free water bottle sized packets of crystal lite- my coworker swears by it.

Otherwise keep up what sounds like great work!

Hey Mhray--I myself have kind of stopped writing down all of my food intake and the calories really rack up! I think you have some really great goals for the week. I love getting outside, even if it's just for a leisurely walk! I love breathing in the fresh air...and I'm glad you got that bf involved! 1 pound loss is actually great and don't get down on yourself!
