Today was a pretty awesome day…of course there was an exception to that but otherwise, awesome. I was feeling great today. I decided to break one of my “rules”. Wasn’t going to weigh myself until the 16th but for some reason I felt compelled to do so. I was excited to see that I lost 8lbs since I started 16 days ago. WOO HOO!! Not too bad. That’s a total of 16lbs since the beginning of January. I’m very excited about my progress. My goal is to lose an average of 5lbs each month, which I believe, is realistic for me; I’m already 6 pounds over my average in just over 2 months.
I’m on a roll and feeling great about this. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to lose 13 more pounds by the 16th. I think I may be pushing it though. If I do that, I will be at another milestone. I need to stop thinking that this is a possibility; I don’t want to set myself up for failure. I am going to make some adjustments to my diet. I’m going to cut my prune juice intake by half. I don’t want to cut out my protein I will just need to find leaner meats. I am thinking about cutting back on my whey, not sure about that though, and I will increase my water intake. That’s a start; we’ll see how it goes.
Had to say good bye for a while to a friend today. Our friend Liz is in the Navy and is heading back to Norfolk this weekend then will be deployed to the Middle East until July. Having to say good bye to someone you care about and someone who has helped you is so hard. She and I got a long great; we were a great support system for each other. We would both do Paleo together and hold each other accountable. We worked out together often and when we did my workouts were better. She was a great motivator for me. I’ve found the bonds I’ve made with people who I work out and diet with are the strongest bonds I’ve ever made. I’m really going to miss her L
I get so hung up on myself in such a negative way. I feel as though I’m so easily forgettable. I know I am the person who is “out of sight, out of mind”. I feel as though I’m so easy to walk away from, that my friendship isn’t all that valuable. I just hate that I feel that way about myself. So Liz…Don’t forget about me!! We need to do the Mud Run in the fall!
Got to share a special moment with one of the ladies in our Boot Camp at work. We did her measurements, she lost 5.5 inches in her waist alone. Down from a size 12 to a 6! WoW!! I L-O-V-E those moments. Tears of joy…I’m so proud of the people I work with. Once again, those special bonds with those you work out with are amazing.
Eating went ok today….I slacked on my veggies but I will make up for it tomorrow. Here’s what I ate today:
700 2 eggs, turkey sausage (that’s right I figured I would sausage a shot), prune juice
1145 Hamburger
215 Protein shake
600 Salmon steak, broccoli, olives
