I can't believe it's already Sunday. I guess it's b/c Aaron's not home and the weekend (especially Sat) is just like a normal day. I can't wait until he gets home!
Anyway, it's kinda nice for my weight that he's not home b/c it's a lot easier to cook all meals healthy and plan portions and left overs and whatnot when it's just me... basically when Aaron isn't eating the left overs or more than I thought he would or asking "what else" is with dinner. Lol. I've been able to cook really healthy chicken meals for dinner or lunch every day, some days both. I think that meal planning has really helped. So has making a strong commitment to tracking my food. Since getting the bodybugg I'm tracking on both livestrong (thanks again Carrie for recommending it, it's a *great* site!) and the bodybugg one. The bodybugg one just doens't have very many foods in it and I have to add 50% or more of what I eat. So I put it into livestrong, then into bodybugg b/c I can just steal the info off of livestrong! lol You'd think a site that you're paying for would be better, lol. Ah well.
Ok, so I can't really believe how quickly the weight is coming off with really making a commitment to eating good, tracking, and using my bodybugg. I like to see the big calorie deficits, so I eat better and exercise more... and that's what it's all about, right!? Anyway, this morning I was at... dum dum dummmm... 154.2. I can't believe it. I figure that I was probably at 160 a week ago without counting the weight that I'm attributing to iv fluids. So that's 6 lbs in a week! Crazy - I've *never* lost that much in a week! If I had the moolaa, I'd totally buy us all a bodybugg for Christmas!
Goals today:
*3 bottles of water
*calories under 1300
*meal plan for the next couple of days
*have a calorie deficit of 1400 (yesterday was 1875 - I'm also making a commitment to tell you my calorie deficit every day so I have to keep it up!)

You are making me want a bodybugg so bad! I totally hear you about when your husband is away it is so much easier to eat well. My husband told me yesterday that if I make dinner all next week to make healthy dinners. I told him that I do make healthy dinners, its just that you can't eat all 6 servings in one sitting! He doesn't seem to get that. I'm going to look into this bodybugg thing!
ReplyDeleteI agree! And also, it's possible to eat a salad. You know, it won't get up and bite you or something! Aaron will still be hungry after he eats the dinner that I made (especially if I portion it out) and then look for something else. I say "you could eat a salad" and he always says, "I cooouuullllddd..." lol, boys.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't want to pressure you into getting a bodybugg. It's a lot of money (I think the bodybugg and the digital display are on sale right now for about $250 together), but I do *love* it. It motivates me a lot.
