Day 1 of a new weightloss goal is a joke. There is always leftover goodies from the weekend to finish off. As I mentioned before, I had a headache and spent the night on the couch. The kids made brownies and the smell was too much for me to resist. Then I had a bowl of Fruit Loops. See, it's a slippery slide, my friends.
Today, I skipped breakfast, not intentionally because I love breakfast, but I was late for work. Then a co-worker suggested we go out to lunch. I was going to have a Taco Salad, but then I noticed they brought back the Sierra Chicken Sandwich, FOR A LIMITED TIME, so I had to take advantage before it went bye-bye again. Well, I made it a combo, which means it came with tots and who can say "no" to tots?! Not me!
I'm going to drink plenty of water though and hit the treadmill tonight. If I don't sweat, I didn't hit it hard enough. That is another thing, I didn't start losing any significant weight until I started sweating during my workout. My morning walk with my girlfriends 3 times a week wasn't doing squat, I had to sweat it out.
Despite not excercizing and eating brownies and Fruit Loops, I lost 4 ounces. But then I took a bath, got back on the scale (never a good idea), and I gained 1.2 lbs. So the moral of the story is...weigh once in the morning.
UPDATE: Made it to the treadmill. Walking on a incline, running and handweights: 30 min 2 miles 425 calories
...and before your bath? ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe workout canceled out the tots.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo on dealing with the tots!
ReplyDeleteMy morning routine goes like this:
1. Get up
2. Pee
3. Weigh
And I've found the first weight rule to be a true one.
3. Brush teeth
ReplyDelete4. Weigh
Spitting a couple times while you brush helps.
I will have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI walked for an hour today. No more fitness club. It is irritating that I won't know my calories, speed, etc., like I did with the treadmill, but I knew I would have to go outside and run eventually. I got a little sweaty and my leg muscles twitched after I came home, so I guess it'll work.
Tomorrow both jogging bras will be clean and then LOOK OUT WORLD.
