My biggest Challenge
Ive been doing so good, yesterday the scale had said 187 and today its freaking 188 again. Oh well My clothes fit better now and I know Ive been doing great with my eating and working out. Ive decided to work out harder on 3 days a week. My Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays consist of 40 minute or more walks, elliptical, stationary, weight lifting, resistance bands and Jump rope. I can only do a few minutes of each, but I'm working on doing more. After a 40 minute walk my legs hurt and its hard to do other things when they are sore. My biggest challenge is coming tomorrow, my aunt is having a b-day party for her and my cousin who is turning 25. Its a challenge because my family likes to party and eat junk. We are bringing Mac/potato salads to share and a green salad with veggies for us so we don't go overboard with the other "fattening" salads if we have any at all. She is getting a fruit salad, wheat rolls and luncheon meats as the main meal which is a whole lot better then what could be having. Its all the other things like, buckets of chips, cheese platters,pinwheels, Fugatza bread, Dips, Candy and Deserts OH MY!! But I'm going with a plan and bringing things that I can enjoy and besides allot of that crap doesn't appeal to me anymore, the CHEESE does tho because she always buys the really good stuff like Havarti,Gouda and Sharp Colby MMMMMMMM I love cheese and it is my one weakness. Ill let y'all know how things go later. I know I can get through it and even allow myself to have a small treat I know how to watch my portions and I know what I shouldn't be eating now. Hope that everyone has a great Friday and a safe and happy weekend!

Don't let those small fluctuations bother you. You are doing great.
ReplyDeleteI also love good cheese. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. (I live in Wisconsin, so it's a requirement...)
I've started brining my own "meal" to parties like this. I make sure it's EXTRA large (to stuff me) and then I'm usually too full for anything else. If I am... I try to get the MOST for my calories. So the lowest calorie thing... so i can eat more of it. hahaha!! Cheese is a problem... maybe bring your own lower fat version of the ones she usually buys, so you can "indulge" but still be smart. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck.... may just take tiny bites of everything. So maybe only a eating spoon size of everything... by the time your done sampling it all... you just might be full :)
Scales can be just a tad demonic. Don't get too caught up with the ups and downs of it; just concentrate on doing what you know is right. The scale will catch up... eventually.
ReplyDeleteGlad your clothes are feeling better. Birthday parties are hard, but your plan sounds good! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're mixing it up with the workouts and doing a few minutes of each activity - sounds like a sure path to success to me!
ReplyDeleteI hate scales. I hope you are having a good weekend!
