Weight 208.4

My scale was giving me some different readings – between 208.0 and 209.0. I saw 208.4 more than once so will land there.

Good news is continued progress. But I have started to feel my initial energy about this wane a bit. Getting back to how long this is going to take and sometimes thinking does it really matter.

So to recap my week:

Good things:

• continued right direction on weight loss
• ate food I made for the most part – did order in one night last week
• worked out in some fashion 5 times this week – had 2 bike rides, a good hike and 2 Body Pump workouts
• maintained this blog and review daily – hit my morning routine other than yesterday in full

Things to continue to work on:

• I did have a few days of ‘fuck it’ thinking – as in a loss of focus of what actually trying to achieve – doing versus just thinking about it (eg ordering in when I had food in my freezer)
• I have drinking habits I really need to change yet don’t entirely want to yet. There are so many reasons to change and my stubborn self keeps negotiating with myself as to why it’s fine to have that glass of wine – I deserve it after a long day. I need to really commit to reducing this as it is completely at odds with everything I am doing here – if there is a serious tweak to make to the process it is this – otherwise I am simply on the hamster wheel of weight loss

Food today:

breakfast: 2 eggs and toast

lunch: last of the taco salad/quinoa cakes

dinner: turkey spinach meatballs on soba noodles.

This afternoon I will give some thought to the weekend ahead. I am headed to l the Finger Lakes for some hiking but will be eating out as well. I will plan for healthy meals as much as possible including healthy snacks. The hikes will help but I don’t want to drift far off track this week as I want to add another pound down. I feel like I need to get to the first 5 pounds down to start to feel like I am not one weekend or vacation away from putting it all back on.
