This past week felt really good. I stayed within my calories 6 out of the 7 days, worked out 4 times this week AND upped the weights on some shoulder machines at the gym.
I’m also back to enjoying my occasional splurge meal, and Saturday’s dinner was just that for me. We went bowling with friends Saturday evening, and afterwards, I enjoyed a large (mainly because of the large amount of lettuce) “burrito in a bowl” with chips. It was insanely good. Tex-Mex is my weakness. 🙂 It’s just amazing to feel in control of things again. My cravings for junk food aren’t that bad anymore, and I’m still motivated like crazy.
Week 76: 229.6
Week 77: 226.2
Weight Lost: 3.4 lbs.
Total Weight Lost: 72.3 lbs.
Some NSVs this week:
- My 16W jeans are fitting loosely again.
- I ran 1.5 miles last week, which I know isn’t that much in comparison to where I was. However, I consider 1.5 miles in this summer heat to be a small victory. 🙂
- I noticed when I was doing some yardwork yesterday, that it’s gotten so much easier to reach around the garden. I used to have trouble bending over and reaching for weeds, and I usually had to kneel down in the garden after a while to finish. However, I did it all standing up yesterday. This was a huge deal to me!
You’re a maniac! I love seeing your amazing progress updates, you are so motivating. I love when jeans start to fit loosely. I also love seeing you mention non-number related progress like the garden stuff. Keep up the great work!
