That God damn scale got the best of me, again. Stupid thing. I should chuck it out the window. I never would have thought it would effect me as much as it has but... it has. Saturday after our MM class, I learned that a couple of the girls had done really well, losing 12-15 lbs. So, stupid me, I got on the scale (however in the back of my head, I knew I hadn't lost) and guess what.... same freekin' number as day one. The faucet turned but after a few minutes I got myself back together and moved on.
Ben made some good suggestions during my kitchen makeover on Saturday. He strongly advised to measure, measure, measure. So, I bought some measuring cups and have the tea/tblspoons out on the counter. He also advised to have protein prepared, portioned and ready to go. Same w/ veggies. So, I have taken his advice and have combined it with a much more strict diet. Trying to come to 1450 cals per day. Although I feel this is too high, Ben feels it may be too low. He's the professional so I'll follow his lead. He did make me laugh when he said we're dealing with a stuborn body... I said "uh, yeah." Over the next 3 weeks, my goal is to push past this road block and start seeing and feeling some changes. I am going to ask Lisa and Tonia for some pointers as they passed the Kitchen Makeover test with flying colors! Good Job Ladies!
I am traveling for work this week, Tues through Friday, and will have unsupportive food choices all around me at this conference. So, on Sunday, I portioned out my bfast/snack/lunch/snack for Monday through Friday. For dinners, my friend/co-worker Laurel and I will be going out to eat tues-fri. She is a very good support person for me so I'm confident I can go out to eat and still make good decisions. Also, Ben has assigned me a work out for wed/thurs/friday mornings while at the hotel as they have a gym. I'm excited to challenge myself.
Oh yeah, we had a great workout today as we did something different. However, after workingout Ben asked everyone how food was going and I lost it, cried about my progress thus far but everyone was very supportive and told me it will come. I got to work and had a cute little arrangement of Pink Carnations, from Erica. It cheered me up. Thanks Erica!
