As today's title suggests, today was weigh day. While I would like to boast a glowing report of multiple pounds lost, it seems I have only shed a single pound. Yep, 1 lb. :( I've been kinda bummed about it all day, but I've been trying to remind myself about all the other benefits of my new exercise and diet regime. Plus, I may have gained muscle too. Gotta keep reminding myself so I don't fall off the bandwagon. As the start of my third week, I am pleased to announce that I completed 50 minutes total (with warm up & cool down)/3.2 miles/450 calories, AND I used 1 lb free weights for 45 minutes. The sense of accomplishment I feel is doing great at keeping me motivated. :)
I decided today that as further incentive to continue my weight loss plan, I should have rewards to look forward to when I achieve certain goals. This is what I've come up with thus far:
10 lbs lost: Katy Perry CD
20 lbs lost: Spa Pedicure
30 lbs lost: ? ETA: New pair of nice sunglasses
40 lbs lost: ? ETA: New hairdo/makeover
50+ lbs lost: Start trying for 2nd baby!!! :)
It's kind of sad that I can't come up with something for 30 & 40 lbs. I'll have to think on it some more.
I did well on my diet today. Paula Deen made a chocolate cake with caramel filling, pecans and caramel frosting that looked SOOO good. That was rough watching but I managed to not give into any cravings. :) Here's what I did eat:
BREAKFAST:
-lo-carb strawberry yogurt
-1 apple
LUNCH:
-pepperoni & swiss on lo-carb tortilla w/mayo & mustard
-baby carrots
DINNER:
-grilled chicken breast w/bruschetta topping
-oven-roasted broccoli
-salad with cucumber & ranch
-s.f. pink lemonade
