Week 3 Weigh In

I lost weight this week! So relieved!!!!! I am down 4lbs since last week's weigh in which is a total loss over three weeks of 7lbs. Not a huge loss but definitely on the right track! I know that the slower it comes off, too, the more sustainable the loss will be in the long run.

But I drifted off from the intermittent fasting diet, much to the relief of a lot of my friends. After speaking with someone who really knows what they are talking about last week I realised that this fasting diet wasn't really all that healthy. So instead I aimed to just cut back on the bad things through out the week rather than just avoiding them completely on the fasting days. I found in weeks 2 and 3 that the fasting days were just not achievable. I was hungry and I mean HUNGRY! So instead I just made sure I made good choices when it comes to what I eat.

Now I have a pretty busy life this time of year. My weekends are full of colourguard practices and then I also have rehearsal two or three nights a week. Couple that with the fact I am in the middle of a moving fiasco right now, and you will understand how it is often difficult for me to eat right. I just don't have time to shop for and prepare the healthiest of meals. But instead I try to buy the healthier snacks so that when I do have to grab food on the go there are better options for me to chose from. And if I am just absolutely stuck and have no option but to eat out or risk starvation (slightly dramatic I know) I always opt for one of the healthier on the go options like Chipotle or Panera. Also I find that unlike the usual fast food chains, a meal from either of these actually fills me up and leaves me content.

As for the exercise portion of this plan, I have a little set back in that my moving date has been pushed back. I am going to be staying with a friend for a couple of weeks. So the Insanity is going to have to wait until I get moved. I know, I know, I sound like a complete cop out on that front, but I am actually kind of upset that I am going to have to wait. Putting off getting started just pushes back how long its going to be until I am in the physical condition that I so desperately what to be. I am happy with my body, don't get me wrong. I love the way I look. I have curves in all the right places, and I don't aim to lose those. I just want to tone up and be physically fitter so that I can do the more adventurous activities that I enjoy doing. And slowly but surely, I will :)

Here's to an awesome week of eating right and being healthier.
