...like 3 pounds lost this week!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
I am so happy that I achieved the weight loss amount that I had set for myself at the beginning of the week. I was NOT perfect this week but I did forgive myself for any mistakes and moved forward. This week I am gonna try my hardest to attain a 2 pound loss but with going out of town and being out of my routine, it might be hard but is possible. Now to review my week...
Goal #1 ~ Stick to menu plan...well, I did stick within my calorie range but did not stick exactly to the plan. I have decided that I want to eat what I am in the mood for then not what it says on the piece of paper. I am okay with that as long as I pay attention to the amount of calories that go into my mouth. I did TONS better when it come to eating breakfast which is one of the hardest things for me. I also did NOT munch. I found that I am stronger than I thought!!! I can give Sariah a snack without eating some myself.
Goal #2 ~ Workout 5 times...once again the weekend is my downfall. I did great until Friday and Saturday. But obviously adding the exercise into my daily schedule has still helped with the weight loss. I will figure out a way to get the weekends done, it might have to be something different like bike rides with the family or a walk to the park on Saturday. I might eventually have to just workout M-F instead of having Wednesday off. It is a work in progress.
Goal #3 ~ HYDRATE...I did great with this. I love water!!! I cannot believe how wonderful it is to not be drinking pop anymore. I drink water with all my meals expect on occasion I will drink a V8 Fusion or something else but NEVER pop. It feels great to be hydrated!
This week I am sticking with calorie counting, working out and hydration. These will be especially hard this week since I will be heading out of town. I already know Friday will have an Olive Garden lunch involved and Easter dinner on Sunday. Working out will be a challenge since I won't be home and in my routine. I am planning ahead though and will be working out on Wednesday instead of Thursday since Thursday I will be in the car all day. My post will be later next week since I won't be home until late Monday night. Look for the weekly review next Tuesday.
Happy Easter to you all!!!!

Woo Hoo! Good job!
Even though you are going to Olive Garden this week, you can still choose something healthy. Skip the breadsticks, order a salad with low-fat dressing on the side (olive garden has a really good low fat italian), and drink a full glass of water before your meal arrives. When it arrives, don't eat the whole thing. Leave at least half of your meal to bring home and eat later. I recently read a book called Super Natural Cooking and it talks about how to make healthier food choices in your diet and in cooking. One thing that it really encourages is to eat/cook by color. Choose dishes that have the most different colors of vegetables and fruits in them. I can't even tell you how many vegetables we eat now because I have really tried to have 3-4 different vegetables in everything I eat. You end up getting so many different vitamins and minerals that your body needs, plus all the fiber. Also, are you taking a multi vitamin? Your body needs significant amounts of certain vitamins to metabolize foods adequately. The only way I remember to take mine is to take it at the same time every single day: right before dinner.
I'm so happy for you Angie! It's so inspiring to read your accomplishments.
GOOD JOB!!!
YAY Angie!!! Keep it up Superwoman!
