From clumpy chick to chic chic

I stayed on plan today.  I noticed that after having off the bowflex for a few days that the workout was not as easy as I remember it being.  Either that, or the sub degree temperatures froze my muscles.  I was above my normal 1200 calories, at about 1580, or there about.  That’s great though, I seem to lose more weight as I have more calories.  I think it throws my system off of starvation mode, although I have yet to manage the balance there.  I managed to get all of my water in as well, so all in all a good day.

I have slacked with my pictures, so these are a little late, but better late then never.  Here I am this afternoon at 197 pounds.  (Still can’t believe that I am under 200, it’s odd not to hit the number 2 when typing my weight)

Today:

I can honestly say that I am darn proud of myself.

I have decided that I will use Monday’s weight for weighing in for the week.  Hopefully this will eliminate some of the up and down and up and down nonsense.  That does not mean however that I will discontinue my daily ritual of scale dancing ;).

So today I am at…….210 lbs.  Up 2 pounds from yesterday.

Frick on a stick

I can’t say that I am too shocked though.  I stayed well within calories, but I had a crapload of salt over the last two days.  I had Olive Garden (salt), pizza (salt), and pumpkin seeds (with more salt than seed).  I also had a small about of Halloween candy to add to that delightful smorgasbord.  Not too muck of that though, I am proud of me.   I am guessing that I am just retaining water from over the weekend.  I am not going to stress about it, the weight came off once, it’ll come off again.  I just have to get back on plan.

Today I have been back to par, and have banned all pumpkin seeds from my diet.  I almost made it.  I only had a small amount today though, no more than 15 seeds.  Not to worry.
