Wow, so I think I hit a slump last week. I was cheating left and right and lost focus of my goal. I plan to keep my new found energy to the end! lol! Part of what I am excited about is that I am making progress on my workouts. I never said I was here to actually lose a ton of pounds, but rather to get lean. Well, I think my clothes are fitting a bit better (even though the scale doesn't think so)... but my times are getting faster. This is embarrassing to admit, but when I started running at the beginning of this challenge my goal was to do one mile in 15 minutes (yes, that included time for walking). Today I ran a mile (without stopping) in 9 minutes 30 seconds. Now, for many of you that is slow! For me, that is super sonic fast! lol! It felt great! I also rode the bike today, but felt rushed to get home to Sophia. The good news is that I got a great workout in a thirty minute session... which to me is better than not going at all.
Breakfast: Full shake, w/banana
Snack: Fiber One bar (140 calories, really good, but almost too good)
Lunch: Subway Sandwich
Dinner: a scoop of stir fry and two pieces of Papa Murphy's Med. Delite pizza
Dessert: half a skinny cow.
One of these days I will cut the desserts out!
As long as I can meet my calorie goal I still treat myself to the lighter deserts. I want to be able to sustain after reaching my goal so I don't want to go cold turkey now. I feel like I'm starring to calibrate to what is a reasonable portion at meals and desert. So far 10 lbs in 30 days and I'm definitely not starving or feeling uncomfortably hungry. We even went to Baskin Robbins tonight and got the $1 Tuesday scoop special (small but a good treat). About 150 calories but I still met my daily goal.
