It has really been an up and down week. Let me tell you. I left you with a gain last week that I was ok with. And this past week was my birthday and there was going to be some celebrating going on. So this week I made a promise to myself to do as much damage control as I could. What did that mean? I was going to drop my calorie intake for a couple days to 1200 and I was going to move my body more and burn more calories. And that's what I did!
I was on the scale a little more this week. Only to try and keep a handle on my splurges and the work I needed to do to burn it off. I got on the scale Saturday morning before my party to see where I was. I had lost 2 pounds since Wednesday. NICE!!! But of course the next days of celebrations was about to happen. Had a great Birthday. Thank you everyone! I did not track my food Saturday. But of course there were wings, ribs, sausages, plus many other delicious dishes. And of course, alcohol. And I enjoyed every bit of it!!! When I checked the scale Sunday morning I was only up a pound. Not too bad. I could deal with that. But then of course Sunday was my actual Birthday. So Mom treated me to Red Lobster. Yep! Monday morning I was up now a total of 3 pounds. Now it was time to get my butt moving again.
As I mention in a previous blog. My cousin Val and I have a challenge happening. First person to 30,000 steps in a week. We are doing it for 10 weeks. I WON WEEK 3!!!!!!! I actually got to 30,000 steps in 2 days. OMG!!! Do not try this at home. My body ached something fierce. Today is the start of week 4. I am loving this challenge as it helps keep me motivated by being competitive with my cousin. And again. Help keep me on track over the summer months.
So I dropped my calories again for the last 2 days to 1200 a day. And burned as many calories as I could. Which meant I did 71,960 this week. The result? Down 2.4 pounds overall from last week. 40 POUNDS BABY!!!!!!! Can you say happy dance? I AM THRILLED!!!!
The next goal? 50 pounds and ONEderland!
It's funny what you consider celebrations. Mine this week? Besides the 40 pound mark of course. Was uploading pictures from my birthday party and seeing that my double chin was gone. lol. I know. Silly right? But I hated that double chin. And it's gone!!!!!
Time to start the next chapter and challenge.
Till next week. Be Kind!
Cheers!
