Forgot to post about my weigh-in this week. Down 2.8 pounds for the week. All lost in the last 3 days, after I decided to increase calories again. Total lost from top weight: 37.2 pounds. Total lost since beginning this diet blog 8 weeks ago: 18.4 pounds. That’s an average of 2.3 pounds per week.
Maybe a *last three weeks* average would be more useful: 1.8 pounds. Not quite as high, but a probably a better indicator of the trend I’m on currently.
Please note that I’m doing this by eating a LOT of good foods, not by the starvation (low calorie) method. I really believe that if I was doing it by portion or calorie control, it would bounce right back on with more as soon as I quit holding my mouth right! LOL
Of course, I’m also exercising, but just enough to get my body to work right, not enough to burn off this kind of pounds. In fact, I only worked out 3 days this week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). And today was the last of four rest days in a row. I’ll start back working out four days a week tomorrow.
I’m very pleased, as you can imagine. And very grateful. I feel great. I just had dinner: ground turkey breast (huge) mixed with olive oil, chopped onions and herbs, green beans mixed with stone ground mustard (my favorite), a California avocado and about 1.5 cups of fresh strawberries. Yum. Not only was it good, but I feel *fabulous* right now. I’m definitely going to log this as a meal to repeat.
If you’ve read this far, please take the time to share your favorite *win* this week. Thanks!
I have to say it’s the most high intensity class I’ve ever done, but there are a lot more simple ones. If you enjoy dancing I’d definitely look into it, it’s really interesting choreography and properly works you out!
