Those are really nice measurements, even more so considering you are 5' 6".
Thanks Derrick! I'm trying to look on the bright side and the measurements help. I think I'd feel a lot better if I didn't have so much loose skin around my mid section.
Great job at turning it around and staying positive Lisa! Work hard this weekend, stay away from temptations and next week will be a fresh start for you.
Thanks Janvier - I'm looking forward to the fresh start this week to really rock it!!
It is so annoying when you sabotage yourself. I find that if I ever do that I don't even enjoy the food as I ram it in quickly and guiltily and barely taste it. It is much better to just take one or two and eat them slowly without any shame about what you are doing and really enjoy them.
Congrats on getting straight back on track. I'm sure you will look gorgeous for your honeymoon.
Thanks Ecky - I did enjoy the first two a lot more than the last 8 because at that point I was only going to have two, lol. That's exactly what happens though once you start ramming them in there!!
Thanks Jess!! Every time I consider giving up I wonder where that will take me and I soon realize... no where! Gotta keep going!!!
It was a great weekend!!! I love how for the first time in a really long time I can say that proudly. I even enjoyed my cheat night – and I mean really enjoyed it and don’t feel guilty for once because it was just a cheat night not a cheat weekend for once!! Here’s how the weekend went:
Friday – healthy breakfast, lunch & dinner and no snacking!!! Came home and cleaned the house for about 2 hours and then hit the couch. Thought I was down for the count but got a second wind and started my workout around 9:00pm and that never happens. I did 2 miles on the treadmill, 150 jumping jacks, 150 KB swings, various sit-ups & various strength moves with 5lb hand weights, 20 walk out push-ups & a long stretch – burnt 500 calories. Felt so good going to bed a little hungry after some peppermint tea.
Saturday – woke up and had plans to go shopping with both my sister in laws. Managed to get a quick level one shred complete before getting in the shower. Didn’t wear my HR monitor so I’m not sure how much I burned but probably around 150 calories. Spent about 3 hours walking around Walmart (I never go there but the sisters love it). Then we went to Kelsey’s for lunch and I ordered the Somona Chicken Valley Salad (550 cals) it looked like the best choice and I didn’t have breakfast. Did some more running around in town and then headed home.
Cleaned the house a bit and then had home made turkey burgers and Caesar salad for dinner. We were having a poker game at our house and 13 people showed up. Here’s where the cheat night began. I had an ice cream sandwich for dessert and a strawberry daiquiri. Then we had banana loaf, Doritos, red licorice, caramel corn, brownies, cheese, crackers, pickles & I’m sure I’m forgetting something. Only had 3 alcoholic drinks throughout the night but I went to bed very full and extremely satisfied around 3am!
Sunday – woke up early to clean the house from the night before. Spent about 2 hours cleaning and drank 4 glasses of water and then went back to bed for an hour. When I woke up I hopped straight on the treadmill. Ran 8.2 miles in 90 minutes plus a long stretch and burnt 1023 calories!!! Had some left over Caesar salad but it was pretty soggy so I didn’t eat much and a left over turkey burger patty – no bun and then went back to bed after a shower. Woke up around 4:30pm and did some more house work. Had a veggie salad with tuna for dinner. Did about 20 minutes of ab work on a mat in front of the tv. Snacked on some healthy crackers & ate two sausage bites that hubby had made. Figured the calories out to be 1200 for the day. Had some peppermint tea and went to bed!
This morning I was 149 on the scale so that was really motivating to see since Monday’s I’m usually too scared to even get on the scale and usually if I do I’m back up in the high 150’s. I had a lot of salt Saturday night so I’m hoping some of that is water weight and I’ll be back to 147 with a chance of getting lower for my weigh-in on Friday! Only two weeks to go and I’m ready to work hard everyday!!
Sorry if I don’t get by journals too much this week but I have someone in the office that I’m training so I’ll have to see how much alone time I get. Hope everyone is doing well!!!
!! You are solid in the 140's, girl!! Love it!!! That's FANTASTIC!!! I also love hearing that you are showering with your hubby! Isn't it just great how now you feel comfortable to do the things before you weren't? 
It's gonna be a great honeymoon like you said! Your food is great and your exercises are impressive! I can't beleive that you put those together all by yourself. Especially the KETTLE BALL ones! 135 kettle swings is CRAZYYYYYY!!!! 
!
but I know I'll snap out of it soon. We both seem to go through phases of bad eating habits but we can always get our way out of them!
