Well, ladies, I was down another 2.8 this week, 4.2 total, though I'm not sure how. I'm super stressed out and working really hard to control the stress eating, focusing on small portions of whatever we happen to eat (we've had to do pizza a couple of times, but I limit myself to a small serving and then veggies and lots of water). I've been doing a TON of gardening and yard work, heavy duty stuff that, apparently, burns some calories. So I've only got 28.2 more pounds to go!
As for exercise, it has either been cold with horrible weather or I've been doing yard work and housework. I need to get back on the elliptical, but probably not going to get there this week. I've also been too busy for the computer, so I haven't really spent any time sitting, which is good. Keeps the metabolism up.
Food plan:
Wed: French Dip Sandwiches
Thurs: BBQ Chili
Fri: Salmon
...and other meals using up freezer foods that I haven't planned yet. I just found out my lettuce is all moldy (ew) so I need to go get more. I'm going to really try to have big servings of frozen veggies at every meal this week, since JC went to the store for me last night and I didn't know I needed lettuce. Should I need to pop over to Walmart for something else, I'll get some more romaine too.
There will be weeks when the progress is slow, or non-existent, in spite of our efforts. There will be weeks (like this one) that surprise us. The important thing is that we stick with it and keep on keeping on. :-)
Did you end up making the BBQ chili? Did you like it? Did your boys?
ReplyDeleteI made it and they all hated it. I liked it just fine, but they really really didn't. Weird, right? I've had to eat just about the whole pot myself...
ReplyDeleteHuh. I like it.
