Overall this week was a good one. I spent most of the week out of the apartment, which is always a good thing. Unfortunately, I got to spend most of it painting. Which would have been okay, except for my sensitive artist eyes. The colors chosen by the renter for the house were...less that tasteful. Chocolate brown, which was okay. Dijon mustard yellow, or poo yellow, and tropicana yellow/orange. We weren't really sure. But all the living room needs now are a couple of beach chairs, paper umbrellas, and a palm tree. Glad thats over.
So the part of my week that was tough actually had nothing to do with painting or anything else. It was more the part where I had to eat fast food every day and I was very discouraged about my weight loss goals. I didn't think I could manage to make any progress this week if I ate Arby's and Taco bell for lunch every day. And I must admit that I'm still scale happy, so I stepped on it a couple of times during the week and saw some loss, and some gains. BAD IDEA! I vow, before all blog readers to only weigh once a week at my appointed time.
So how did I get my motivation back and not just eat the entire container of low fat ice cream in my freezer? I went to facebook and connected back in with my weight loss groups. Silly, I know, but it seems to keep me working. I read discussion boards and made a post here and there, and suddenly I was like,"Yeah I can do this. Fat here I come, Buh-Bye."
So the complete update of my progress...2.6 pounds lost this week, 60.8 to go! And after three weeks a grand total of 7.4 pounds lost! Maybe it doesn't seem like a lot, but in a couple more weeks my jeans will not only fit, but actually look good. It's been far too long since I could say that. And then I will swear of stretchy pants! So, just wait for the blog that says NO MORE STRETCH! lol

why did you have to eat fast food everyday? That doesn't sound to appetizing. Whenever I think of fast food I think of the workers wiping there nose, or coughing in the food, or not washing their hands. Next time you want to eat out, think of those things. I do eat out once in awhile, but it has diminished since the scare of H1N1. Think of your health.
ReplyDeleteI actually got H1N1, it wasn't much fun. We usually eat at Arby's. So we avoid fried as much as possible. I also went to the effort of writing down all the nutrition info for the sandwiches I like so I have an accurate picture. I also only ever get a sandwich, I never get fries and I never get pop.
ReplyDeleteI worked at Mcdonalds and we were always clean, so I guess I don't think about that so much.
