Yesterday was a tough day for me. I woke up to find out it's "that time of the month." I was crampy, tired, irritable and felt pretty bad. On top of it I had to drive in the snow and ice over an hour to Kansas City for my friend's doctor consultation in the morning. I was good and made one of the chocolate smoothies and took it with us, and we split half a Cascadian Farm granola bar on the way back to Lawrence, where we stopped and got three trays of sushi. All the sushi was either fried or sprinkled with something fried, so although it tasted delicious to me because I'm on my period, it was probably highly caloric. Then we returned home, did a little shopping, and before we knew it, it was 9 p.m and we were hungry (we ate the sushi at like 2 p.m.) She and my bf wanted Old Chicago, but that place is #2 on the list of things that make me bloat up like a balloon (second only to SOY SAUCE, which I'd already dabbled with in reduced-sodium form earlier in the day) so I decided to make a BLT with the turkey bacon I had at home instead. The pizza smelled delicious the entire way home but I stuck to my guns. I'm glad I did because the BLT was freaking delicious and not too heavy for the two hours of Just Dance we did afterwards. And I already gained enough weight-- was 148.0 this morning.
On a good note, I weighed in for our office's Biggest Loser challenge yesterday morning. Last weigh-in two weeks ago I was 150.0 (according to their scale) and yesterday I was 148.6. So I lost 1.4 lb that two-week period, for a total loss of 5.8 according to them. It's not enough to win (YET), but it's good progress.
So all in all it was a bad week. I spent the weekend and Monday & Tuesday out of state and didn't work out and ate badly half the time (kind of out of necessity...) then returned to a house devoid of groceries and I was too busy to get them so I had to make due with the ingredients I did have and my calorie intake was fine but my protein was way down, and then yesterday I was out of state again for most of the day and ate badly. This week should be way more normal and I can get back to the amazing food and exercise. Oh, my bf is coming to the gym with me tomorrow to record the amount of weight that is proper for me for each circuit training move... I have been doing the circuit training at home with 3-lb dumbbells but that is way too light for many of the exercises. I need to get the proper weight to do 12 reps so I can burn as much as possible and build my muscles as much as possible. I am looking forward to that.
