    I did not have one ounce of sugar and I had a big brunch and no lunch because the two meals put together is equivalent to same amount of calories and I am still not hungry! :)

    Yesterday I went to brunch and the mall with some friends. I had a pretty calorie heavy brunch (700ish), but seriously considered blowing my whole day by indulging in fries and a shake from the Chick Fil A in the mall food court. I ended up going for a venti hot green tea (0 cals) from Starbucks instead that kept me full until my preplanned dinner and under calories for the day. :)

    Today, I ran.
    Well, alternated walking a bit then running a bit for half an hour. May not sound like much, but I bought my running shoes 6 months ago and haven't had the guts to put them on and get outside until today. I stopped caring about how silly I felt and what other people might think, and I actually enjoyed it! :D

    Pulling into the parking lot, I remembered right then that the gym closes at 5 p.m. on Saturday (dumb, btw, but moving on ...). It was 4:15 p.m. I am *really* a creature of habit and had worked my whole workout in my head, so this was a real bummer. I went anyway ... ran a mile and did an abbreviated strength workout. So ... I did the best I could with Plan B, which was a whole lot better than the disappointment of leaving the parking lot without working out!

    I increased my dead lift of 315lbs by 33%. Went from 6 reps to 8 reps. Was sorting laundry and my sweat pant started falling down. They have never done that before.

    I spent my day at the Maine State Class A Girls Basketball Championship game today. For snacks I had a small box of popcorn, one water and one - yes one of my son's French fries. Granted, I would have had more but he wouldn't let me. A day at a game with concessions and I still came in under my goals.

    I went up and down the 3 sets of stairs here at work, mostly 2x2's, for 10min! :disagree: I have jello legs!

    I actually broke a major sweat at the gym! I worked my butt off today...so I'm proud of myself for the first time in a while. I felt super motivated after I left so I played "Just Dance" on the Wii and burned even more after dinner! :)

    I was having my "rest day" meaning I didn't have to do an exercise but i dragged the kids out and went for a nice brisk 6km walk (run 5-6 kms 5 days a week)! Poor kids!!

    I completed a 50 minute latin dance aerobic routine on YouTube. Other friends have only made it halfway through, so this was a victory to finish it!

    I went to Zumba and did my OHP day even though I woke up with a splitting headache from too many whiskey drinks last night.

    Getting on the scales and seeing that I somehow managed to lose 1kg this week in spite of:
    - TOM
    - eating badly the whole week
    - only working out once this week

    Yeah, I'm confused too. But totally not arguing.

    I had pizza yesterday and didn't carb load by eating all that crust. Who says you can't just eat the veggie and cheese mixed with sauce toppings?

    I have an aunt who swears that when TOM's here it's like being pregnant and what you eat just doesn't count against you. Maybe she's right and you are living proof!!

    I ate veggies with my Lean Pocket yesterday instead of chips.

    After a weight gain last week, I'm back to where I was two weeks ago. :)

    Set a goal last April to loose weight and this morning the scale said I was down 110lbs!!

    Saturday is weigh in day. I was a full pound lower than the goal I was shooting for. I celebrated by purchasing myself a Nutra Ninja blender for protein shakes, etc.

    Hmm. Well, I did gain the week before, so maybe I retain water before and not during.

    I didn't get to eat all day (worked all day and didn't feel like eating in front of people so I skipped the free dinner) so finally, at 1am after getting home, I forced myself to eat some food even though it was easier to (unfortunately) go to sleep with a net of 0 cal for the day

    I was planning on having a rest day today but felt motivated and pulled the weeds in my front yard. It was such a nice day to be outside and burned some free calories (and got a blister) but totally worth it :)

    For my moms birthday I took her out to Chinese. I love to eat out, and love chinese food, BUT I controlled myself and only ate about 1/3 of the plate and boxed the rest!!

    Even though I overate yesterday, I didn't punish myself and instead, got right back on track and ate and exercised like I do everyday.
  • My belly is noticeably flatter. I'm even kinda bloated (period) and it's flatter than usual! I feel great and so happy!
