I can't believe that I forgot to post last week. I must be slipping just a little in my game. So I will just have to combine the last two weeks into one post. Here it goes. Week 46 I posted a loss of 4.6 pounds, so my new number two weeks ago was 176.2. I did really well staying on plan and was actually excited to go in for the weigh in last week. We discussed what I did right and what I did wrong and made plans for the following week. I went out that evening and bought an indoor cycle to give myself some variety in my exercise routine. So this week #47 I posted a 0.6 pound loss, my new number this week 175.6. I didn't do as well at sticking to the plan this week and did eat a little more chocolate than I should have. I have to admit that I bought a couple of bags of Valentine's candy. I think if I buckle down and try a bit harder I can get to a two pound loss next week. It's just getting hard to resist the valentine's candy out in the store. Why does Valentine's day have to so much emphasis on candy? Don't we have enough temptation out in the world already? I love chocolate and chips, these are my weakness. I'm so over the holidays, I guess that I'm happy with having a loss. Even though it was not as large as I wanted. Like I said earlier, I'll just have to work harder and stay away from the candy aisles at the stores. Two more weeks then....they will put the pink wrapped candy on sell!!! Just kidding, well maybe. I'm still "rewarding" myself with a new iTunes song if I stay on plan all week, this week I only earned two songs. And I still haven't earned a new e-book, not yet anyway. We talked again of strategies to avoid the temptations and ways to not deprive myself. But somehow just taking out 9 kisses and put the bag away, just doesn't seem to help. We also talked about my exercise routine this past week, because of the new cycle. Lately I have been having trouble getting up every morning to exercise. One or two days and then I just want to sleep for that extra hour before work. So my commitment this week it to get up every morning and exercise. Every single day. We agreed that it could even be yoga, just to help get me back into the routine of getting up and moving. Today I knew that I needed to run and do core before my appointment or I would not reach my commitment of four days of cardio and three days of core for the week. It was so hard to get my shoes on and moving still. I can say I always feel better once I get through about 5 to 6 minutes, but it's just getting me up from the chair. I am up to 3 and half minutes of running, so I'm still on plan for my pre-training for the 1/2 marathon training. Okay, that's my last two weeks. I'm finally going in the right direction again. Let's hope that I stay that way. Have I mentioned that I really don't like winter???? Is it spring yet????? Until next week, keep moving everyone. ~ Darcy
