Week in review time!

Weight loss

Down 4 lbs this week. That puts me at 50.5 pounds lost since January 1st. I stalled a little this week, but I had been expecting that. So hopefully, I continue to lose more weight this week. I can see the land of TwoTopia coming soon! 😀

So yesterday was complete guess work. I could be more calories and carbs then that, or maybe a bit lower. Hopefully lower! 😉 It is OK though. the rest of the week was pretty good, though I had some higher carb days. My blood sugar got a little low a couple of the days, so I might have to be more aware of when I eat higher carb meals  Oddly enough, the last couple of days have been alright. I think adding in a strawberry spiked up the blood sugars enough. haha.

Overall, I felt I was getting this back on track this week. I did have a couple of late nights. Will be getting this in more control this week. I also can’t believe I am more then half way through book 5 of the Expanse series. Good thing I have book 6 ready. Though I don’t know what to read after that.

Today, and this week

Well, to celebrate my 50 lbs lost, I completed Day 1 of C25k. 🙂

Barely made it, and I am still feeling weak. I did it though. I was going to wait for a couple more weeks to try, but I just was in the mood to try today. It was sunny out, so I need to remember a hat for next time. It felt great being out there again. I’m only slightly embarrassed. T.M.I. moment ahead. When I run, my gut makes noise. Because it is bouncing and slapping around. So, I have my own cheering squad with me as I run. haha. I had this problem years ago too when I ran. Still, it isn’t stopping me, just makes me feel embarrassed.

I have bowling tonight, and that should get me to my 6,000 step goal. I plan on walking in the morning, and getting 6,000 steps each day this week. Next week, I bump it to 7,000.

I also need to get some cooking done, and a little shopping. I have some easy convenience foods around, so it isn’t like I will be tempted by bad stuff. I just want to make some new items to try out.

Hopefully, everyone out there is still going strong. I know some people have stopped their New Years Resolutions. It is never to late to get back on the horse!
