Day 15: Finally! Some results!!

Weight: 212
Body Fat: 39.3%



FINALLY!! I've lost 3 lbs and about 1.5% body fat. I was worried there for a while. I got down to 212, and then the next day I was 214 again. That made me feel crappy. But then I weighed myself this morning and I am back to 212, so all is good :).

I haven't properly exercised since Sunday, but I am ok with that. I put in a lot of effort last week, and this week I haven't had a lot of sleep. I think it's counter-productive to try and work out when you're feeling totally beat. I did mow the lawn yesterday, half of which is up hill, with a push mower. I don't know how many calories I burned, but I was definitely sweating... so it's not like I didn't get any physical activity, I just didn't get to the gym, karate, or on the DDR mat.

I have a feeling this week is going to be a similar to the last few days in terms of working out. I'm starting a 6 days in a row stretch at work. Some of those days are half days, so hopefully I can use the extra time to at least get to the little gym at our apartment complex.

I had a moment of weakness last night... I was hungry after work and a friend and I went to Wendy's where I had a diet soda, some fries, and a BBQ Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. It made me feel like shit. Not in a guilt way as I hadn't had fast food in like 2 weeks, so I wasn't fretting over it. Just physically I was like ICK. Heavy feeling, slow... It's all part of the process, you know? Once in a while you have to do that to remind yourself "Yeah... this really isn't that good, nor is it worth this icky nasty feeling." Today I kind of feel like I am on a fast food hangover. Thankfully, dinner tonight involves lobster, salad, maybe a little steak and yes, I will have to have some of my grandmothers amazing birthday cake but I plan on trying not to overdo it on other stuff so that the cake doesn't overload my system.

Hopefully I've got the ball rolling now! Maybe kicked my metabolism into gear a bit. Maybe by next week I will be down to 210. Wish me luck!
