Between that and my desire to fit into more than the one pair of (normally) two-sizes-too-big jeans in my closet, I'd say my motivation to eat well and exercise has NEVER been higher. But, just to keep myself honest and on-track, I've decided I'm going to log my progress on this blog, as well.
So...the stats (and keep in mind that I'm only 5'2, ok?):
Weight, as of 1/7/12 (our initial BBL weigh-in): 175lbs
Weight as of 1/14/12: 170.5lbs
And anyway, it's a good thing the scale responded as well as it did, because yesterday I was running on about four hours of sleep after my dear, sweet, lovely children decided between the two of them that 4:30am seemed like a good time for me to start my day, and ALL I wanted to do was sit around and eat the entire plate of chocolate chip cookies for lunch that my neighbor had dropped off on Sunday night, but I went with a salad and a grilled chicken breast instead, because I didn't want to undo all of the progress I'd made the week before.
I'm still a little bitter about that decision, honestly. Proud, but bitter.
Those cookies looked good, man...
(Ok, FINE. I did go ahead and have ONE with my lunch. AND IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!)
(Did I mention that 4:30 wake-up call? A little sugar was needed to make it through the day...)
You are just so adorable. I love you for tracking your progress and keeping it real! We can do this! Let's go, loser!
ReplyDeletehaha, you have to treat yourself once in a while so that you don't binge later!! i tend to reach for the chocolate/sweets/snacks late an night when i'm on the computer, but i do feel good when i make healthier choices. last night was greek yogurt with dark choc chips.
