Total Weight Loss: 8 lbs
Oh boy, the past 7 days have been a doozy. Not with the healthy changes, just with life. I'm glad they're over and we can move forward.
After getting advised by many people, I've really tried hard to not weigh myself everyday. This has been really difficult... like I've still weighed myself most days, in fact, all days... all days but yesterday & today. I know, I know. It's not a good thing to do. But I needed to see the minute the scale got back below my 1st cheat meal weight. I finally saw that, so now I'm good... I'll start the 1x a week weigh ins now :)
I've been super good with everything, haven't cheated at all. Our breakfast date on Sunday mornings went well... I figured out my calories before hand and instead of getting the Ham & Swiss Crepes that I really wanted, I got 2 scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, fruit and sourdough toast. The sourdough was my treat for the week, and it was SO GOOD!
We also, unexpectedly, went to lunch at Chili's that same day. I knew I couldn't let what happened the week prior happen again, it really messed with my psyche. So I skipped right over the Buffalo Chicken Salad with extra ranch that I usually get (that I seriously CRAVE ... anything with Franks Red Hot Sauce is a weakness) I got a chicken breast and cilantro-lime rice. It wasn't my coveted salad, but it did the job.
I've also walked as scheduled and on Fri I surpassed my usual route and did 1.24 miles. I was so proud of myself, and I've been paying for it ever since. I don't regret it, but one thing I didn't want was to push myself so much that the pain became so bad that I gave up. I'm not ready to give up, but I toyed with a line that I didn't want to toy with. I still got up and walked today, 1 mile exactly. And each step hurt. But I did it and that counts.
