Having a good week.

Is it possible..? Is it possible that I have found a groove here? Finally, after almost 2 weeks of boinging around I am steadily going down. I find that I have to stick to a strict routine, and if a waiver at all..it does not work. I may think, oh yes, I'll have a couple glasses of wine later, I'll just not eat lunch, or I'll just have a few more bites. And I have to workout everyday day..pretty much. I at least need to have some form of activity, I don't feel good if I don't. I finished week 2 of C25K this week, but I have already done it again, and I think I may do it another day or two before I move on to week 3. For me that kicks my ass and really works.

Since Monday I have lost 8 lbs. Yes, 5 of that was water weight or weird flying weight, but the other 3 weren't! I think the fill I had on Monday has been awesome..and I am eating 3 meals a day...a lot of this time I have been tricking myself into thinking that the less I eat the better, meaning skipping meals. Yesterday I had oatmeal for breakfast, a quarter of lavash bread with tuna salad for lunch, and a small slice of fritatta at dinner.

Last night at 8 ish my tummy started rumbling, but I did not eat a thing, I just had some tea and forgot about it.

I am so close to my personal goal that I set for myself. My deadline is a week from Monday..and I think I can do it! That will be swimsuit time for me so I am working uber hard.

Have a great day all!

  9. Great job my friend. And remember, a loss is a loss. I've lost about 15 pounds this month, but it's because I had a terrible flu for two weeks. I'll take it though. A loss is a loss. The only trick is to not gain it back when I can eat solid foods again. Remember, any loss, or no loss is better than a gain. Unless it's muscle. We could all use that.
