Too bad I'm not talking about my guest to the wedding I went to this weekend. Instead, I'm talking about the lovely scale. I gained a pound. This is probably the first time that I'm not upset about the gain. I had an insane week - I spent three days on the road, eating out everyday, all day. I had planned for it in this post. Here's how things worked out:
Exercise:
Between Friday - Sunday I worked out once. Luckily there was a gym at the hotel I stayed at. I jogged/walked for 30 minutes on Friday after arriving at the hotel.
Friday Goals:
I made a goal to skip the dinner roll at the wedding reception. I did just that! Later my husband told me it was a marginal roll that was so hard he could hardly rip it apart. I ate about half of the dinner. The slice of wedding cake was tiny, I ate only about 2/3s of it - which was not very much.
Saturday Goals:
Breakfast in the hotel was cereal and fat free milk, as planned. I also had a banana. For lunch my hubby and I went to California Pizza Kitchen. I skipped my regular pizza order for a salad, but my husband let me have one single slice. I had some sunflower seeds while driving - probably not the best idea, but hey, it was better than the Frito's calling my name during the drive. I made the worst choice of all at dinner - quesadilla at an authentic Mexican restaurant, along with chips to start. However, I did not eat all of the chips - I stopped way before my entree arrived. Plus, the eating ended when I was full!
Sunday Goals:
For breakfast I had 2 mini fruit parfaits at McDonalds - and I skipped on the hash brown that my husband apparently ordered for me. At lunch my husband and I were in line at a place with fried chicken and philli cheese steak. I pulled myself together to leave the line - and went to another shop with fresh sandwiches. I had a veggie sandwich on homemade bread, it was delicious (and expensive - lame Universal Studios prices). On the ride home I bought a pack of mnm's - I was craving them all week. I bought just a small pack instead of the usual medium size pack I buy on road trips. I didn't have dinner on Sunday.
As far as my Summer Focus goals - I failed every single one. This week will be much better - here's where I'm tracking those goals.
These are my goals for the upcoming week:
1 - Lose some weight - to lose my goal of 16 pounds I need to get back on track by losing 2 pounds this week.
2 - Working out 4 times a week is not that hard - I just need to do it. I always push it back to the last four days of the week - but this week I'm going to get them done in the first four days.
3 - Keep 100% calories
4 - Weigh myself only on Monday
5 - Run at least 1.5 miles
6 - Remember to live life, for each post I will mention the moment I remembered to live life that day
Living Life Moment
Today I played battleship with my husband! It was a blast - we were both fighting to be the Americans in a war scenario. In fact at one point we both started signing USA Pride songs - pretty ridiculous. I adore him. And by the way, we tied!
