So yesterday was a good one, as well. Went for a nice long walk, but have no idea how many calories it might have burned. I took in a total of 1356 calories in food, as I forgot breakfast and had a nice healthy dinner.
Made a big pot roast last night with baked potatos, vegetables and homemade rolls.
I need to learn to stay away from bread, though. I just have such a bad reaction when I eat it. It tastes so good though, that it’s hard to say no!
Was really tired yesterday due to a lot of rotten sleep because the baby was teething. Also had the remnants of my 3 day migraine.
It’s been tough!
I had a sneaky peek at the scales this morning. I know I shouldn’t have, but when you’re really struggling for motivation you need a way to keep you honest. It shows a loss of 4.5 lbs so far.
Now, this seems great, but I know a few things you don’t.
First - day 1 was on the final day of my period, which means I was retaining extra weight.
Second - the first week of a new diet sees a lot of water weight loss anyway.
Third - I’ve had a bit of a tummy bug, so I’ve not been keeping all those calories inside of me. ;)
Of course, it is the weekend coming up, which means I’ll have a lot of chances to “cheat.” But I like to think I’ll also have a lot of chances to get out and about and exercise.
Today I feel quite bloated, but I’m not sure why. I’m also in a lot of pain because the baby came into our bed at 5 am, and he used my face as his personal mattress/pillow/kickboxing bag.
Still feeling strong, though.
MOTIVATION!
