Healthy Habits in 2011 - 5lbs and 2 Inches Down!
Soooo, how's that weight loss thing going, huh?
I'm down 5lbs.
I'm also down 2 inches on my waist!
I have a pair of pants that have been snug for the last several years and I had to wear a belt with them to work yesterday to keep them from falling down to my hips.
I LOVE that!
I have also been able to work out an average of 4 times per week for the last month.
I am giving that extra working out the credit for not gaining back those 5lbs since I spent last week eating a ton of junk food - cheesecake, chocolate lava cake, hot soft pretzels, ice cream, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I probably shouldn't even mention on a healthy habits entry!
We had several events where we needed to eat desert and, of course, I didn't plan ahead and went with a basically empty stomach each time. (Or I did like I did today and forgot a spoon to eat my yogurt with! Opps!)
That meant lots of eating things I shouldn't have.
We have loads of fruit in the house this week and I'm determined to eat better this week.
Fruit and vegetables if I'm hungry between meals. A cup of yogurt if I have a long time between meals or a couple of crackers with a small piece of cheese. Not too many calories but filling enough that I don't want to keep snacking.
Well, that's the scoop for this week.
How are you doing? I'd love to hear!
