Well, another weigh-in day, and I have to tell you, this one made me nervous. Prior to this week I had been cautiously counting my calories, making sure to stay between 1200 and 1500 calories. However, I neglected my “exercise calories.” Then I read this post, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/174065-starvation-mode-is-real-and-ugly and started to worry. The last thing that I want is to screw up my body when I am trying to get healthy. So I upped my calories to ensure that I get over 1200 net calories. And the verdict is: Success! Lost another 1.8 lbs and feeling great! That brings my total weight loss to 14.1 lbs. Now I am feeling much more confident about doing this the right way, for long-term results, Yippee!
So I started the day off early, as I always do on Weigh-In day. Up at 7:30 and on the Wii board, then breakfast. “V” had his 3 year doctor’s appointment this morning, so we got up and went to that at 10:15. Good news is that he is a genius (well, I think so) and that he is steadily gaining weight! My proud moment was that everyone complemented his behavior and demeanor, it helped that he was right after a “hellcat” patient.
Then we met up with my weight-loss mommy friends for lunch at the mall, then to do some laps. I was planning to go to Tacos del Mar, and had even placed my order, until I heard that they didn’t have Whole Wheat tortillas. Then I cancelled my order and left. That may seem a little extreme, but it wasn’t worth 50 extra calories to go flour! I stand by my decision to go to McDonald's, where I knew I could get something for less than 300 calories. The 2 ½ mile walk was great, and I even ran into a friend from high school who said she had been watching my progress on FB and was inspired by me and my friend Lady M to join MFP! Yay! Glad I can help out!
Now we are home, and “V” is crabby and sore from his shot, what a trooper. So both kids are down, and I am debating what to have for dinner. We ended up having steak breakfast burritos last night; I will probably make Quinoa Primavera for dinner tonight. Then I am off to MNO Bowling at GSR, I have already planned my cocktails into today’s calories!
On a side note:
Congrats to all of my Biggest Loser buddies, we are getting so close to the end! We are all making so much progress, it is so encouraging! Loving that we are all doing this together, and that no matter who wins the free lunch, we are all going to be winners. But I am still planning to kick all of your skinny hinnies. You are going down.
Nice, love the trash talking sister friend. LOL!! You're doing fabulous. Okay, now I gotta know who was the highschool friend. Text it to me. Having my own scale now will really be helpful. P.S.: You look skinny in your pic. :)
