Week 5 - Stayin' Alive

Pounds lost this week: 1.5
Total pounds lost: 6.5
Pounds to go: 33.5

Confessions

I did a little better at tracking points in my head, but still not perfect. On Friday night, our family rediscovered the "pizza house" - Cici's Pizza. We use to go there all the time in Lawrence (really cheap pizza buffet), and found one here. I did pretty well, but I did indulge in a brownie. I think it cursed me, because I got a cold the next day and it's been plagueing me since. Last night I made a "double shot" of the single-serving cake recipe Megan shared, and even added frosting. Doh!

What Worked for Me

I actually stuck with my exercise plan, with the exception of my Saturday workout! It felt good to get that in every day. I also made a trip to Costco and invested in a huge box of veggie burgers. They really aren't that bad; you just have to eat it knowing that it's not really a beef replacement. I tried Mom's chicken slow cooker recipe that she posted on here, and that was very tasty. I've been looking at my sugar consumption ever since Matt's post and sheesh! It is hard to find things with less than 4g of sugar per serving! But it was a great post, because now I am trying to keep it down. I also cut out dessert many nights.

Goals for This Week

I am really going to stick to my exercise plan this week, even though I feel like chud today. It's just good for me all around. And, I am going to up my water intake and write down points.

Good luck, everyone!

Wow, good job! That just proves that if we are good most of the time, we can have a few "slip-ups" and still have a weight loss. The excercise must be helping! I need to get on the band wagon and start walking on my treadmill! Thanks for being a good example!

Great job!! That's awesome that you stuck to your exercise plan. There's no way I would have that much discipline. I'm also way impressed that you stood your ground at a pizza buffet (I'll share my pizza woes in my post).
