Decent Week

This past week overall was pretty good. I went out to dinner and a movie with my husband on Tues. night, and as much as I wanted to try Five Guys burgers I had to decline and ask AJ to take me somewhere else, (We had made reservations for the Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park for Sat, so I knew that I would not be eating healthy there!) so I had a grilled chicken salad with blue cheese dressing on the side that I used very little of. While at the movies AJ was craving ice cream, and I resisted as he sat next to me eating it while my stomach started growling during the 3 hour show.

Speaking of my stomach growling....ugh....I've been doing a great job of not eating anything after dinner, but my stomach is killing me. I think after 30+years of giving myself a snack at night is going to be one of the hardest things that my body is going to have to grow accustom to. When it's really bad I've been drinking one cup of hot green tea with one packet of truvia, and I'm trying to convince myself that I'm fine afterwards!

I got in all of my workouts, including weights, and 15 minutes of abs with Edward (teaches a 30 minute ab class at the Summit) on Sat. I'm still sore from abs, and a little in my rear, but overall I feel physically better. I have lost somewhere between 6-7lbs depending on what my scale says in the morning. I'm happy with it, but I want it to continue, to often I just plateau out after the first 2-3 weeks of losing weight.

My weekend out of town was both good and bad.
The good:
great family time, moving around in the water, going up and down a million stairs both in the park and hotel
The bad:
Eating fast food with my family that wasn't that good....I wish it would have been worth the "cheat"

Under the Transformation I'm supposed to pick a room in my house each week and go through it and de-clutter with the goal making my home a HEALTHY SPACE. I think this a wonderful idea as I often think about things that I want to go through (i.e. bedside drawers, sock drawer, etc) and just keep putting it off, now I have a plan for the next 8 weeks!

This week I plan to do 30-60 minutes extra in cardio and have only one "cheat" meal, I felt so yucky after this past Saturday.
