My goal last week was to eat healthy, work out, and drink lots of water in order to start losing weight. I think we got off to a pretty good start.
This Week's Goal
My new goal for the week (as I continue to eat healthy and drink lots of water) is to exercise at least 4 days. My only condition is that I must work out on the elliptical for at least 30 minutes. But if I can cull myself out of bed in time I plan on adding some ab and upper/lower body workouts in, as well. We are T-minus 6 weeks 'til Cabo! I've got to get serious!
Looking for a good website to help you out with your diet? Even though I am no longer officially on Weight Watchers, I know it works and I'm pretty loyal to their plan. I am always checking out the recipes they have on their site (there are more if you pay but there are millions of WW recipes floating around so no need for that). One neat thing to do on the site is check in on the Forums. Women are always posting recipes or providing links to new websites with WW recipes. Check it out!
Good luck to everyone else @ Think Think Thursdays this week! We can do it!
- I have been guzzling water like nobody's business. I think swapping over those Diet Mountain Dews and Coke Zeros for water and crystal light has really made a huge difference. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy an occasional soda but nowhere near my previous levels.
- I have also been eating healthy (by myself since the husband has pretty much been gone all week with work). I made an unbelievably delicious sandwich this week. I whipped out my George Foreman and threw on a piece of chicken as well as some red onions, green bell peppers, and tomatoes all cut in strips. I put a little bit of light mayo on some whole wheat bread, cut my chicken in strips and layered it on the bread, then added the grilled veggies for an amazing sandwich. I took the leftovers and a tortilla shell to work the next day for a delicious and healthy lunch (much better than the usual Lean Cuisine). I'll probably make these again soon whenever Lucas is home. He'll really enjoy it. My one problem is that Wednesday night is our Mexican night. I will maintain this tradition and have no problem rewarding myself for being good. But then I have to weigh in on Thursday mornings! How cruel! I'll just have to be really good during the week.
- My work out routine has been less than stellar. I worked out twice. My problem is that I definitely won't do it after work so I just need to make myself wake up early to get on the elliptical. I just hate waking up! Once I'm awake, I'm golden... it is just the urge to fight getting out of bed that keeps me from my much needed exercise. I'm gonna take care of that this week....
- All this leads up to the best news:
I lost 3 pounds!!!
(Take in mind that this total is actually over a week and a half since I weighed in and started my own little weight loss journey on Monday.)
