Weight loss this week: .4 lbs
Total weight loss so far: 45.9 lbs
So I lost again this week...which makes me happy. I didn't over indulge too much on the most amazing Italian food I've ever tasted which makes me even happier. And stress at work is slowly decreasing which, again, makes me happy.
I did have a brief lapse of not caring about counting this weekend...really it was only with these strangly addicting Jalepeno and Monterey Jack Sun Chips. I've had them previously but for some reason, this weekend, they were irresistable. So I had a few more servings than I put in my tracker...but I still stayed within my weekly points so I'm ok.
Things are going ok...planning on trying to get into a workout routine again...fingers crossed...

Getting back on track...
So a few updates on weight...
Last weigh-in (the 23rd) I had gained a pound. Weigh in today, I was down 3.7lbs...putting me at a total of 45.5lbs lost so far. Only 4.5lbs til I hit my 50lb mark...and I can't wait!
Things have been a little out of control. The week of the mud run wasn't exactly as healthy as I would have liked and I think I may have been retaining some water after the 5K (hence the 1 lb gain). And while I had a significant loss this week, I haven't been as on top of my eating as I like to be.
Work was causing some serious stress and, in turn, some poor eating choices (not that I can blame my choices on my job). It was count week and having 50+ students by myself was outrageously overwhelming. Between the stress and the constant presence of junk food at the office (and the lack of time to really eat lunch), I resorted to a lot of fast food and too much snacking. Friday was probably one of the worst days. It was our official count day and I was literally working with my team in the office until midnight. We were fed by the school all day...and my intake consisted of a banana and yogurt (not a bad breakfast), a cheeseburger and bag of Doritos, bad Italian food (pasta, bread, chicken parm, and some crap salad), Gardettos snack mix, and cookies...ouch. Thankfully, I didn't show a gain!
I was able to go grocery shopping on Saturday and picked up a lot of food for the house. I plan on really getting back on track these coming weeks. We don't have the money to eat out this month so that will really cut out the fast food intake. My only concern is that Kyle's grandparents are coming to town for a few weeks. I'm really excited to meet them...and I'm really excited to try his grandmother's cooking (think legit Italian food from a legit Sicilian lol)...but I don't think my weight will be too psyched. I'm just going to try really hard to watch my portions and not go over there starving.
Fingers crossed that reduced work stress will help me get on track.
