Last Weeks Weight 180.0
Today's Weight 179.5
Total Loss: -.5lbs
NSV: Goodbye 180's forever! Mr. Scale bounced back and forth between 179.0, 179.5 & 180 all week, very frustrating. I don't count a new number on the scale unless it is reflected twice in a row. That finally happened. It was only 1/2 lb but I am clearly in the 170's now! I am just 3 pounds away from my 1/2 way mark....so exciting and exasperating at the same time because Mr. Scale is moving at a snails pace right now.
Fitness: I met all my fitness goals for this week. This week I was able to walk each day due to unbelievably gorgeous weather. There has been just a hint of cool air in the mornings with low humidity. I was able to swim each day except Wednesday when the pool was closed. I also got to the gym 2X for strength training.
Nutrition: I am getting protein in at each meal without a problem. I fell low in veggies this week mostly because I did not include them with breakfast, Most mornings breakfast consists of a veggie omelet with farm eggs, organic cheese from our local dairy and lots of veggies from the farmers market. This week I ran out of veggies mid-week. I am trying to eat one fruit each day as well, this week that was mainly blackberries that we picked.
Hydration: I would like to increase my water intake to 10 cups beginning today.
Last Week: I would describe myself last week as PARTICIPANT instead of OBSERVER. I went horseback riding for an hour with the grandkids. I haven't been riding in 20+ years, I was slightly sore the next day. Later that same evening I swam with the grandkids for another hour. I participated instead of watching them ride or swim. I really enjoyed being part of the fun instead of hiding behind the family photographer role.
My Upcoming Week: This weather should cooperate this coming week. We will be going on a short vacay at a casino hotel Wednesday and Thursday. Our plans include walks along a bridge and swimming in the hotel pool. I will get in a workout at the Gym on Monday & Wednesday before we go so there will be nothing to keep me from my Strength Training goal.
