Month # 4 Check in
Nov 15, 2011
Well this month was more challenging to say the least. The carb monster comes out on the weekends. I find myself grazing a little more when I don't have my meals planned. I keep testing the "no no" foods. I ate a cookie, chips and salsa....I don't beat myself up over it - I record everything I eat - no matter what it is. I ate 1/2 a small cookie, chips and salsa was 3 chips and a tablespoon of salsa - not exactly large enough portions to freak out over!Fluid has been an issue for me from the beginning. I normally am right around 30ish ounces a day. Well one day I was out shopping and didn' t have much water. I actually passed out in a LB store. They called the squad and everything. Turns out I was fine, just dehydrated. Embarassing for sure! Now I make sure I have water with me at all times.
Weightloss wise - I didn't work out as much as I would like - but I was a lot more active - putting up christmas decorations and cleaning, taking the stairs at work. All in all I lost 10 lbs with the last week seeing no change. I still need to take my measurements - maybe that will show more change.
More and more people are noticing and I don't hesitate to tell them how I am losing weight.
So far this week I have worked out 2 days and been focused on water and protein first. Thanksgiving should be fine - it is christmas I am worried about. Way more opportunities to graze during Christmas!
My goal is still to be at 200 by Christmas - not sure if that will happen or not - since I am in this slight stall. MFP says I should be on track to at least be 205 by then ---20 something is better than nothing ....granted 199 is a lot better :)
Just taking it day by day - this is my journey not a race!
