January 8: 249.4 I gained 1.8 pounds
I had high intensity in my desire to lose weight this week. I stayed within my calorie limit and I did a total of 3.5 hours of exercise. So why did I gain? I'm not sure but I can see a couple of changes I could have made. The lower weight on the 1st may have been one of those days when you are down, but it isn't real, if you know what I mean. Looking at the week you'll see I was all over the map. My goal for January is be down to a solid 244.
Mistakes I made: too many french fries. I need to take my food scale and actually measure the amount that is safe to eat OR (and here's a novel idea) have NO french fries at all.
Mistake number 2: I drove through Jack in the Box after having had a manicure and pedicure and I was on my way to work. I chose the Jumbo Jack which had 600 calories. No fries.
Mistake number 3: Last night we had pizza after TOPS. The personal pan pizza I had chosen from my calorieking list was 600. I had calories for that plus the salad. But they brought us a regular pizza since they were out of the little crusts. And I ate 3 pieces. I'm thinking that was probably more than 600 calories. Plus way too high in carbs and fats.
So I am learning continually what choices are good and not so good.
This week: Keep exercising, no artificial sweeteners, no french fries.
French Fries are over rated! Pack a snack before school. I took a sliced apple and a granola bar for me yesterday. Keep a bottle of water in your car so you drink that instead of diet soda (bad bad!).
ReplyDeletebut keep up the hard work! It will pay off!
O my goodness! I use artificial sweetners all day long. Diet Pop and my tea. I drink water too, tho. I lost 2 1/2 lbs this past week.
