This week for my weight loss journey my eating hasn’t been the best. Still not getting the healthy recipes down. Mainly we still cook the way we have but I’ve just changed my portion sizes. By that I do mean I eat smaller portions! There are a few times where I have slipped and eaten more than I should. My weight has gone up, down, back up and down again. It’s a loss, gain and a loss!
I have started eating breakfast on more days than none, since before this me eating breakfast was just a thing of the imagination. It never happened. I’m one of those people who would rather sleep in until the very last minute, then rush around getting myself and everyone ready to rush out the door and have to run right back in because I had forgotten something.
Here’s to breaking that habit!
Something I would love to have the motivation for is getting up before everyone else, go downstairs to our huge home gym that is the laundry or dust catcher (which ever I’m lacking on cleaning for the week) and work out before having to trot off to work.
I did eat a salad a couple of times for lunch last week. I slipped up and had a cheeseburger and medium fry from McDonalds one day after months of not eating there. That did a number on my stomach..”ugh” to the fast food grease monkey! My exercise I upped my daily steps. Actually shocked myself a few days not realizing or remembering doing so much walking!
Something else I added this week is getting small workouts and exercise in my cubicle office. Are you in a cube world? No? Well let me tell you, it can be a funny site to walk by and see someone standing in place doing leg lifts, but I did it anyway and wow did my thighs feel the burn. I walk laps through the cube aisles too because it’s too cold outside, I’m sure my neighbors think there is something seriously wrong with me…but hopefully soon when I’m doing the “Pants on the Ground” dance because mine became too big for my smaller waist I don’t want to hear any comments or funny remarks! =)
Progress:
This past week I lost 1 more pound! Woot woot! Hoping to keep shedding and steer clear of the mean ‘ol plateau monster!
Yeah on the 1 pound weight loss! We all slip up now and then and eat something we’re not “supposed” to. But thankfully, our digestive systems remind us why that’s not a good idea and everything gets back to normal. Well sort of…
Congrats on a great week!
Loved the post!!! I got a chuckle thinking about you doing the “pants on the ground” dance!!! Congrats on the Loss and the breakfast (Huge problem for me) and the step increase!!! You’re Doin It!!!
Love Ya Lots,

Doood, pants on the ground…pants on the ground….what a lovely feeling that will be.
You are making progress…how do I know that? You are losing weight.
Why not just make it a challenge to cook dinner with more veggies for the family for two weeks. Add 2 more more servings this week..and then in two weeks add two more.
XXOO
Even though you don’t think much is happening body-wise, you are doing small things to make it happen. Don’t get discouraged you’re doing great!
it’s all about baby steps right, that is what i keep telling myself. i am not “all about” the healthy eating either. i can’t force down something that doesn’t taste good. so i’ve been trying to adjust things in the way i cook, but still cook the same things.
1lb is 1lb …. whoo hooo
keep it up

Yeah for one more week steering clear of the Plateau Monster!! You’re awesome for working out at work. That would be so difficult to do! But, wow, you have a huge home gym? That *would* be really cool to use, I imagine!
WTG on portion control!
I love your guts no matter what.
