Sorry all, I was out of town for work this week so I couldn't weigh in until yesterday. I lost 1.4 lbs during a week where I attended a Christmas Party and being out of town for work (for a trip planned the day before we left) and eating out a lot this week.
I wasn't great at the Christmas party... that cookie tray got the best of me. The food didn't as bad, but that damn cookie tray called my name from the other room! I had a plan when I got there, but I did not follow my plan. Bummer! ... and it kind of threw me off this week.
On Tuesday my boss told me that we had to have a client facing document ready for Monday so I suggested we have an on-site face-to-face meeting so we can hash some things out without the conference call / webex thing and for less disruption. It was a great suggestion, but left me no time for planning because we left Wednesday afternoon. We went to Granite City, a Khan's (like) restaurant, Old Chicago and Qdoba in two days.
Wednesday Night: At Granite City I ordered the burger I wanted, but with no bun and broccoli instead of fries. It was AMAZING and I didn't even miss the fries. I did not order a drink. I also asked them to take me back to the hotel before they hit the bars so that I could work out instead of drinking a bunch. They did and were SOOOOO cool about it. I rode the bike that night for 35 minutes, totes proud!
Thursday: Breakfast at the hotel, I was a ROCK STAR. Had my normal 2 hard boiled eggs, ate a yogurt and took two banana's for the day (but I didn't eat them). Lunch was at a Khans type restaurant where you have total control over what you add in. I did chicken and all veggies, no noodles. Didn't miss them at all. I over did the oil though, but seemed to work out fine. Dinner was at Old Chicago - FELL OFF. I had three beers (20 points) and I ate three 1/2 pieces of pizza (48 points). So way way over for the day... but at least I made smarter choices during the day otherwise it could have been worse.
Friday: breakfast - rockstar again. Lunch - Qdoba - ordered a chicken salad with no cheese, sourcream or dressing. Just had salsa, chicken and lettuce. Pretty boring but I really had to be good because I knew I'd be weighing in the next day. Friday night - my hubby and I went out to eat AGAIN. I ordered a water instead of a beer (wanted a beer but knew I needed to be good). I ordered a rueben sandwich without the bread - it was weird, but again... I needed to cut out that buttered bread and then I ordered broccoli again ($2 for broccoli but I didn't care). So over all I did really well by choosing the good for the bad.
So in the end I lost 1.4 and met my next 5# goal... I've now lost 65.8 lbs. WOW!!! On a roll!!! Here's to hoping for another successful week. This one shouldn't be too bad, but it's that time of the month again. So I may get a gain this week.
I hope you are able to *THINK* before you make your bad choices... it's worth the bad sometimes, but you really need to make up for it with only partial bad. I tell you, I was not left with wanting something that I cut out.
I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!
This isn't about a journey to lose 10lbs, this is about a journey to lose 150lbs and doing it the real way. You will hear about my previous week, struggles (which will probably be OUR struggles) and how I've overcome some challenges. Each week I set goals... set your goals with me!
