Week 4 (Jan 26, 2015 - Feb 1, 2015)

So, in my last post I showed how I lost a surprising number of inches.
Come Monday morning I was fully ready to see the scale! After all I worked out double time!!

When I stepped on the scale I was completely shocked to see it read:
209.3lbs

I gained 0.4lbs.

HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!

I will admit I was quite devistated. Many friends said that its because I was gaining muscle.  But truth is, when you have this much fat to lose the scale won't have you gaining muscle. You'll be losing.  At least thats how it is for now.

I was kind of in a funk all week because of that, along with other personal news, and the snow storm that we were hit with.
On top of that, I started back up at school this week too!

My body was thrown for a loop with the new schedule change.

But it was decided that this week I was going to give the military diet a try.

The military diet claims that it can help you lose up to 10 lbs in just 3 days.
But you have to follow their EXACT meal plan.
I was completely excited to eat peanut butter one day, toast, crackers, and the best part..... was the bit of ice cream at night!!!!
OOOOOOOH BOOOY!!!!

The breakdown of this diet is that the specific foods they have you eat are supposed to help break down the fat cells in your own body. I figured that I would give this a shot. I mean what did I have to lose since I already gained 0.4lbs this week.

I didn't really start to eat my meals till later in the morning or the early afternoon. Which helped because these portions are so tiny that you will be hungry before your last bite.

But I think I did really well with this. It wasn't hard to follow and the thought of ice cream made eating tuna a walk in the park!!

This was without a doubt a difficult week for me. And I know that it's natural to have good weeks and bad weeks. I just need to not take it too personal and to remind myself to get back up on that wagon.

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
