Crack-a-lackin’
Sorry for the “Madagascar” reference, I just love that phrase.
I love the 1st week back on plan. Today is my official weigh-in day and I’m down 9.2 pounds, from 250.8 to 241.6!!!!! I’m also down 2% body fat so I know that some of the pounds lost was actual fat, not just water weight. I’m so glad now that I didn’t sneak a peak earlier in the week and saved the good feeling for today. I know that this pace won’t continue but it’s nice to have a jump start like this.
I’m also noticing a change in my mindset. Sunday is my highest calorie day on the calorie cycle and what I have decided to do is just eat normally until after lunch and then I can either have a snack and supper of my choice or supper and dessert. I might go a bit over the 2350 calories I’m allotted but I’ll do this until it doesn’t work. Considering that for a while my Sunday indulgence started at the crack of dawn and didn’t stop until bedtime this is an improvement.
So today we’re having people over for football and what I will consider being “on-plan” is if I limit myself to 1 plate of taco salad (sounds like it could be healthy but it’s definitely not) and 1 small piece of dessert. I always make the desserts and even though it’s fattening I switched to making an 8 x 8 pan instead of a 9 x 13. There are only 4 adults for heaven’s sake, we don’t need a huge pan. That way I’ll eat a smaller piece to begin with and not be tempted by leftovers all week.
Today I kicked my butt working out but it feels good. I did a tough lower body workout w/my new 15 pound weights. My elbows were sweating, I didn’t know they could sweat. And then I did TJ Cardio Party. Now I need to shower.
Days on plan this month: 6
Progress toward workout goal: 154/250
Congrats on the 9.2 lbs, that is a great jump start (:
This is a stupid story, but: a couple of weeks ago I was at happy hour with a bunch of friends. And my one girlfriend and her husband left early because they had to go to a “yay Obama won” party (this is how long ago it was). I sent her a text a few hours later and said “how was the party?” and she texted back “it was crackalackin.”
I freaking laughed about that for two days. Seriously.
I LOVE Madagascar! Both of them. They seriously crack me up.
And congrats on NINE pounds!!! Good for you!
Way to go. How exciting to see 9 lbs! So cool the mindset is changing. Great idea to make 8X8 instead of the BIG one.
whoa, doggies! You are doin GREAT! Not just on the loss (congrats) but on all the positive choices. How great is that! Very excited and gotta see the movie, know I’d really like it. Keep up the great work! Delita
You’ve got things UNDER CONTROL, girlfriend! Congrats on the loss! I haven’t seen Madagascar. Sounds like I should!
