Stalled

I'm in a bit of a rut. Too much eating out on shopping trips, not tracking my food and on and on. . . . .

No good excuses. This week I lost the weight that I gained last week. I've lost 12.4 lbs so far.

My goal for the next 4 days is to track every bite that goes into my mouth and stay under 1300 calories.

Fail!

Gained 1.2 lbs this week- there I said it. This past weekend I just thought I would check to see if I could have Mickey D's Mocha Frappe's, hot wing dip, Buckaroo steaks etc. and still lose weight. Oops I guess not!
Now that I know that, this week it's back to tracking every bite and staying under 1320 calories.
I am feeling the inches lost this week.  Some of my clothes are beginning to get a little looser.
Looking for a big loss next week.
I CAN do this.

Weigh In Wednesday

I lost .8 lb this week - total of 11 lbs. It's slow going but I'm building lots of muscle with Jillian :) I'm sore in muscles I didn't know I had.

Staying on Track

Gene and I took a little 50th birthday trip last week. We did lots of hiking and biking in eastern Iowa. I tried to eat right most of the time, although I didn't track on myfitnesspal. The evening meal I treated myself to some higher cal/higher fat things. I feel like I burned off more than I ate but the scale isn't showing it. We'll see if I can have a loss by Weigh-In Wednesday.

For my noon meal I've been taking advantage of all the produce from our garden. I usually start with some kind of meat- either beef strips, chicken or tipalia, and stir fry any veggies I have around. Red and green peppers, tomatoes, zuchini and onions are plentiful in the garden- so yummy. Add spices, usually Chiptle pepper, Lawry's, fresh ground pepper. And, I add shredded parmesan cheese to top things off. Calorie content- about 300-375 calories for a huge helping. I keeps me full until supper.

On a Roll

Happy to report a 2.6 lb loss this week! I think I might be able to do this :)
Total loss of 10.2 lbs since my heaviest a couple months ago, this is my number on My Fitness Pal so I'll go with this number on here too so I don't get confused.
I've been working out with Chantel in the evenings. We've been doing a DVD by Jillian Michaels, it's a good work out!
Gene's taking me away for a couple days for my 50th, I don't know where- it's a surprise. He told me to take my tennis shoes and biking gear so I'll be doing lots of calorie burning the way it sounds.
My new favorite food this week- Chobani yogurt. It's a greek yogurt, I tried it for the 1st time last week. It's awesome, almost like cheese cake ha ha! It's packed with protein and fills you up for a long time.

Until next time, Hilda
