Week 2 Weigh In

Epic Fail!!!

Ok so not a complete disaster but I gained a little bit of weight this week, only 2lbs, but it was a little dissapointing. But I had a pretty bad week as far as sticking to the plan though, so it didn't come as a huge surprise really, in fact I pretty much expected it.

Last week I finished out the week really well until Friday night. I was supposed to go to a football game at the high school but when I got home I felt terrible, light headed and a little dizzy. I layed on my bed for a little bit and my tummy was growling like crazy! Friday was, of course, a fasting day so I hadn't really eaten a lot. After feeling bad for a little while I gave in an went and got something for dinner that was not within my 500 calorie in-take for the day. I felt like I was a failure at this point, enduring the hunger all day just to destroy it with lack of will-power when I probably should have just gone to sleep. So the weekend did not start off well.

Saturday my original plans were to make some good choices during the day. As a non-fasting day I could have gone wild, but I decided to keep it sensible. That was, of course, until the roomie and I went into Boston to meet her brother and sister and some friends and we gorged ourselves on punkin beer, chilli cheese fries and nachos! But oh my goodness were they good haha. And as it was a non-fasting day I didn't need to feel too bad about it all. I don't think I really ate a lot, but I did have a few beers which all count towards my lack of weight loss this week. Sunday was SAC spin day. I didn't really eat much of anything during the day besides some fruit and a lunchable. And considering the amount of exercise going on I thought I would feel pretty good by the end of the day. I drank gallons of water and really worked my butt off, but when I got home, I felt achey and heavy. I don't think I was any heavier, but I was just so tired that my body felt like it weighed a ton! Sunday night I went out to dinner with the rest of the staff from Acton-Boxborough for a winterguard meeting and had some yummy calamari and then the meatloaf, which was AMAZING after such a long hard day. Couple that with the Sam Adam's Octoberfest and I was all set!

Monday I did well all day but I was in so much pain from the weekend. I realised I am definitely not a spring chicken anymore. My body was ANGRY at me haha. NO MORE COLOURGUARD!!!! Of course, I chose not to pay attention to my inner screaming voices but I did, however, have to pay attention to the aches. I stuck to my fasting right up until dinner when my roommate suggested a trip to the mall and Chipotle. Well, I am powerless against that place! I opted for the bowl rather than burrito, but I'm pretty sure it's still loaded with calories, and definitely pushed me over my limite for the day. Then yesteday was a write off, finished up nicely with apple pie and ice cream at 9pm last night :) ooooops!!!

So I guess after a week like that I can't be too disappointed that I didn't lose any weight. It was just the motivation I need to make sure I do things right this week! Fasting day today followed by rehearsal tonight. Then at some point this week a trip to see Jay to get the rest of the Insanity work out, ready to get started when I move.

Here's to a much better week 3
