Week 1 Weigh In

I have a feeling that this whole mid-week weigh in is going to become a pain in the butt and I will start forgetting, and hence, I will probably end up switching it to the weekend. But anyways drum roll please .................................

Week 1 Weigh In:

 

5LBS LOST!!!!!

 

I was a very happy camper when I realised that this morning. I wasn't feeling like I had lost a whole lot, if anything. Especially as yesterday was a non-fasting day and I had chinese food and Yeh! for dinner, and I didn't skimp on the topping either.

 

Last Wednesday was my first fasting day and I did pretty well right up until dinner time when I met friends and went to Tavern in the Square which has the most amazing food, coupled with a Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Then frozen yogurt afterwards. So yeah my first day didn't go too well. Thursday I tried to make up for it a little bit but made sure I still ate pretty normally. Friday I was good, I stuck to my 500 calories, until after the football game when I had a sneaky Sam Octoberfest. The weekend I was pretty active. I went to Gunstock in New Hampshire for an Aerial Tree Top Adventure. HARD WORK!!! I discovered I have next to zero upper body strength. I followed that up with a beer and a burger. Wow just realising I drink a lot haha, oh well never mind :) Sunday I was pretty lazy and actually ate a bunch of crap consisting mainly of junk food, but enjoyed some British treats in the way of a whole pack of Jaffa Cakes brought over by my dad last week hehe. Then I ate dinner at Chipotle at like 9pm, not good when you are trying to lose weight, although I did go for the bowl rather than the burrito. Monday I behaved completely :) Then yesterday I had a bagel with amazing pumpkin cream cheese for breakfast, then my usual boring lunch, followed by chinese food and Yeh! for dinner. So this morning I was not hoping for much, but I was definitely encoureged to see the weight had still come off.

 

I know the first week of any diet you usually see more of a loss than is typical, goodness knows I've tried enough of them. So this week I am going to make a real effort to stick to the fasting days and on the non-fasting days enjoy my food but try and make smart choices. I have rehearsal on Sunday for the first time this season so that should keep me a little active. I got the beginning of the Insanity work out but I need to go and visit my friend again with a bigger thumb drive to get the rest.

 

So first week down and I feel great. Not really experiencing any severe hunger pangs on fasting days and my clothes feel looser already. Looking forward to the weeks to come and starting to get active with the work outs. Maybe I may have finally found something that works, too early to tell right now but here's hoping :)
