This week has had its challenges to say the least. Eating the healthy meal can be such a pain and it is really easy to just not do it. I just didn’t feel like cooking on certain days and that alone can ruin any successes you have had up to that point. I love pizza and it was hard saying no to it when it is sitting there waiting for you when you get home from work. I promised myself that if I ate any that I would be working out hard that night to get rid of any trace of it in my body. After my pizza and a nap, I felt absolutely no energy to work out. My guilt kicked in around 10pm that night and I actually got up and jumped on the treadmill while watching the hockey game. It was a great decision and I am glad that I did it. In week 1 I was down 4 pounds early in the week but, I must have done something wrong because I found myself up 3 pounds. Then the temptation of pizza hit me and I knew there could be a problem come weigh in time. I refused to lose the battle this week after coming so far. I doubled the workouts to both morning and night time and added the Biggest Loser Cardio DVD to my workout (OMG!!!). Here I stepped on the scale and had a nice weight loss for the 2nd week. I am almost down 30 pounds and that alone is eye-opening. I want to ride the wave of emotion and energy into next week and hope that I can limit the temptations and have another good week. Only 4 more weeks until Cancun and, I have to look good for the trip. More to come…..
