Weigh in Wednesday

 

I thought it would be a good idea to link up with my friends Erin at She's a big star and Heather at Pretty Strong Medicine. Last week I weighed in and managed to maintain my weight. I wanted a loss but I wasn't too upset. This week, I weighed in and lost exactly one pound. Yay!

 

I will be in Antigua in 30 days and I would like to lose 3 or 4 more pounds. I'm not going to hold my breath though. I can't wait to enjoy a nice vacation. I'm trying to figure out my nutrition plan while I'm there. I think I will have to focus on the protein and not worry about the calories. This may be ambitious but I hope to run 3 miles every day. I will have another half marathon to run at the end of April. I'll want to keep the mileage coming.

Weight loss Wednesday

Dear friends, I'm almost done with my trip to Phoenix for training. I checked the scale last Tuesday and yesterday. I have not gained a pound. It appeared that I may have lost half a pound but I'm not going to get too excited. I need routine. I'm working on a list of foods that I can live without. Some foods are not worth eating for fuel or for taste. Last nights dinner was a burger w/o the bun and a salad. I had a light beer with it and I ate it very late. Late dinners don't work for me. How is your journey going? If you need encouragement, trust me. You can do it. Given enough time, I will too. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for thankful Thursday.

Weight Loss Wednesday

Welcome to Weight Loss Wednesday. I have to report that I did gain one pound after thanksgiving. It feels as though I'm on a seesaw and I'm constantly going up and down. Frustrating since I need to be going down. I read an insightful post from Kaitlyn at Wiffessionals about portion size.  Yup, I have that problem too. I think my portions have gotten smaller but perhaps not small enough. Here is last nights dinner:

A bed of roasted asparagus, made from scratch Mac & cheese with whole wheat noodles, and sautéed shrimp. Maybe not sautéed, I just through those sweet babies in a frying pan with Pam and roasted the asparagus with Pam. I really don't know the difference between frying, sautéing, or other forms of cooking. I can learn later. Next weigh-in is on Saturday and I'm hoping to go down 1 pound again.

Sigh.

How has your week been?

Please stay tuned for Thankful Thursday.
