Diet - Week 5

[anon4now]

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

So...I weighed in 174 on week 3 and then 177 on week 4. This morning I am happy to report I was 173. So I only count it as 1 lb lost, but it's awesome! I have 3 more to lose by Halloween and I will hit my mini goal.

I rode the bike Mon, & Tues. My butt started to hurt, so on Wed I did jumping jacks (or other versions of) while I watched TV. My knees are really bad, plus a bad ankle, so I was really just did some jumping/jogging/kicking/dancing around the living room. I had to turn my back to my husband while he laughed as he sat on his arse!!! Thursday I got loads of water in, and I resisted cookies all week, icecream cones last night, and the three fast food restaurants I walk past to and from work. I really wanted to see a loss this week and was scared I would be back at 174. But I did it!

I am weighing in at 178.5 today!!!

I was 185.5 the first week...then didn't weigh myself for a while....

I usually eat a yogurt with granola for breakfast, or a small bowl of cereal, and a bottle of water, then I have been at work for most lunches, so I have been having a grilled chicken snack wrap and a parfait and I sip on a large sweet tea all day into the evening...it last me for hours. In between drinking the tea, I drink a bottle of water. As soon as I walk in the door after work, I chug a bottle of water, I am dying of thirst right then.

Then for dinner I have been eating whatever I fix for the family, just making sure not to chow down...I take a reasonable portion, then stop.

This coupled with all the extra running I am doing for work is all I have been doing...but I have been thinking of buying a jump rope...I used to jump rope all the way to school and back in elementary.....I enjoyed it, it can be done anywhere....what do you think?
