Yep. I missed last week due to being on vacation.
I was scared to death to weigh when I got back. I had actually contemplated taking my scale with me.
Challenge Starting Weight: 178.8 lbs
Last week: 172.4 lbs
This week: 173.8 lbs
Change: up 1.4 lbs
Loss For Challenge: Down 5 lbs
Total Pounds Gone: 90.2
So I gained almost 2 pounds. While it kind of bums me out, it makes me happy at the same time. Sounds confusing? From the day my family arrived to the day they left I didn't follow my eating plan. I had fruit loops for breakfast, McFlurries, Frosties, french fries, alcohol, Pâté chinois ... it goes on. Being able to eat what I wanted for that long and only gaining 2 pounds made me realize that once I reach my goal weight, it will be easier to maintain it. On the down side, back to my eating plan. I want all the junk again!
I have decided that July is going to be a big change for me.
I've decided to start running again and to finally start eating clean. I will be following the Couch to 5K program again. Since I usually do that Monday, Wednesday and Friday; I plan on doing some type of strength training on Tuesday and Thursdays. I have 3 pound hand weights and resistance bands. I am sure I can find some links or videos on YouTube to figure out exactly what to do.
