At least at the moment! I've been having a good week and I'm feeling pretty awesome. Yesterday was my weigh in day and I was pretty excited to see the number because I have been working my butt off! I've been doing about 1 1/2 hours cardio about 4 times a week at the gym(1 hr of that hardcore on the elliptical), lifting weights at home, doing stomach crunches etc. and any other kind of exercise I can fit in, whether it be walking with Ian or workout videos. I've limited my caffeine to 1 drink a day and have been drinking tons of water. Food-wise I have been really strict. For breakfast most days I have a Fast-Fuel Complete shake w/ skim milk and ice; it's a really awesome protein meal replacement shake that is low cal and low fat, has a ton of protein in it and a full serving fruit & veggies. And it tastes awesome! I love it...and it's perfect because I can drink it right before hitting the gym in the mornings. For lunch I have something small and typically high in veggies and/or protein. Tomato soup w/ black beans, salad, something like that. For dinner I have a smaller portion dinner with some carbs and as much protein as possible, like rice and beans, a big salad w/ cheese and egg and a small cup of pasta or something like that. And then for a snack/treat at night I have a frozen fruit bar. So that's what my days have looked like the past week or so. And it has paid off!!! At my weigh in yesterday I weighed in at.......
247.2!!!!!! That's 7.6 pounds this week!!! WOOO HOOOO!!! I was so excited! I have been working really hard so it was really nice to see it paying off. And good motivation for me to keep it up!! So at this point, my total personal weight loss is 10.6 pounds. My 90 day challenge loss so far is 5.6 pounds. I am completely aware that this is not typical and won't happen every week but with such hard work and drastic changes I knew I would see big numbers the first week. I just need to keep working as hard as I can. I'm so excited about this!
One last thing...to top off the good news, 3 people today asked me if I was losing weight. I was sure noone would be able to tell yet but I guess I was wrong! My jeans zipped a little easier today too;) What a great feeling!!!
