One Change Is All It Takes...

Muscles are hurting... why you may ask? Cause I stepped it up yesterday and not only went for my walk on my lunch hour and pushed passed the pain, buuuut last night when I wanted to go for a snack I decided to do some crunches on my ab roller and some weight training and resistance training with my bands while I watched the Biggest Loser. What an inspiration that show is!

I now realize why I have been crazing snacks so much this week... and well it is def because of that monthly visit... sorry boys :) But when that time comes around I get insanely hungry and I retain so so sooo much water and overall feel like crap, but this time I fought it... I was super proud of myself last night.

So.... with that said, today is Thursday and weigh in was this morning... Another pound is lost.. Yea, thats right, one pound! I am not too sure how much I can truly trust my scale though. I made the mistake of stepping on the scale far too many times and the scale jumped alllll over the place within like 4 lbs which to me is a big deal. At one point I stepped on the scale and it said I lost 3 lbs! 3 lbs is MUCH better than 1lb, but instead I just too the first average reading I got... (step on three times in a row and average them out and the first three times it pretty much read the same weight within .2 of a lb every time) I so shouldnt have stepped on the scale again :P But once again a pound is a pound and although I am not losing it as fast as I used to in the past or as fast as certain ppl do I have to remember that I am happy the way I am doing this and all I can do is change one more thing this week... One Change is all it takes! I also have to remember that my Diabetes and medication def have an impact on the rate in which I lose... ANOTHER thing I am super stoked about is that in the past when I was on that time of the month I used to gain upwards of 5 lbs! This week with it here full on I lost which is very rare for me and I think a lot that has to do with the water intake this week :)

So I am very happy with how my day went yesterday :) I am starting to realize that certain foods are just not worth the calories, like the Veggie/Mozza pizza last night... I used to LOVE those, but I dunno... not sure if it is worth it to me anymore. Once they are gone I dont think I will be purchasing them anymore :) (cleaning out the freezer)

Anyways, there is my update!! Have a great day guys!
