one week of forcing myself to evaluate every speck of food i put in my mouth.
one week of limiting my soda intake.
one week of forcing myself to go to the gym...even on friday night when there were only 7 other people there.
i felt hungry all the time at the beginning of the week. i was starting to work at school, so i was getting out. unfortunately, when i was home i was hungry. i craved food because i was bored. i stopped myself a lot. i ate a lot of grapes and carrot sticks when i was hungry.
i am most proud of the workouts. i worked out pretty much every other day. i tried zumba on saturday and LOVED it. the teacher cindy was absolutely crazy!
i'm also really proud of the food we tried. tonight we ate spaghetti squash. it wasn't horrible either. i've found other replacements too. i love mac and cheese. but as you know mac and cheese is 480 calories for a cup. i found a rice pasta from trader joe's that was only 220 calories per cup. i was so excited! i bought it for ryan since the protein was 6 grams versus the typical 10+ grams. (i can post about ryan's diet in another post,,, but for those who don't know ryan is on a low protein diet. we continuously are looking for low protein substitutes.) we tried the mac and cheese and it was delicious. i don't get out to trader joe's often, and while ryan and i were shopping at schunck's, we found rice pasta in their gluten free section. i'm hoping it is as good as the trader joe's version.
i had disappointment this week, even though it was very short lived. i weighed myself at night and i was up 2 points. i was so mad. how could i watch everything i eat and work out more than i have ever worked out in my entire life and still gain???
i weighed myself the next morning- down 1 pound from my original weight!!!! i hit my goal! all i wanted was to lose 1 pound and i did it!!!!
more skinny thoughts this week :)
