It was a really good week. I feel as if i was able to keep my eating under control. I made wise choices. I stayed within the caloric/point range that I set aside! I did indulge in a sweet treat over the weekend, but the indulgence was the single night. Even better, when the weekend was over, I was only up by 1/2 pound! That is a huge victory! Typically, on weekends I am up about 2 pounds and then spend the weekdays trying to play catch up!
Healthy Habits
I am doing fabulous with the three main healthy habits that I am working on!
I have been doing amazing with the tracking. I am like a machine! I have actually been taking my tracking to a new level. I have my food tracker apps that I use. I have my garmin app. I have this app and that app. But I made a spreadsheet and I am putting all of my stats onto one spreadsheet. It has been amazing to be able to see all the stats in one place....and see how they correlate and work together (or against each other!).
I have also been doing great with my water intake. I was a little worried because at the beginning of March I decided to start to do Intermittent fasting and to do it RIGHT. That meant that my morning flavor packs had to go. I was nervous, but switched to lemon in my water and it has been going great! I typically get my 64 ounces completed by the end of my day and then switch to my flavored water (which contains my vitamin pack). SO, with this said, I've not only managed to make an even switch....but I have also upped my water consumption from 64 ounces to 72 ounces per day!
Exercise has been rough.....simply because my leg is acting up. NOt sure what it is doing. But I have been having pain behind my knee. Some days it radiates down to my calf...and other days up my thigh. I can pretty much trace the pain, so I think it is a nerve or a muscle. Jason looked at the back of my leg and saw a lump and some swelling. For that reason, I have lowered my intensity level on my exercise by quite a bit. I have also tried to limit how many squats and lunges I do. I'm here to build my body not to tear it down. So, working through the pain and restrictions have been difficult. But I have managed it! I am going strong with my exercise!
Weigh IN
Last week I had a fabulous loss, and I was worried about pulling another fabulous weight loss for the second week in a row. But I vowed to hold it together over the weekend and do everything right. Live but manage wisely was my motto! And I am so happy to say that I lost 2.6 pounds this week! YAY
I am pushing foward. I am more determined than ever!
