First of all, I hope the rest of you are doing better than I am...
I did SO well after the 1st week & even showed a weight & inch loss for my efforts so I was feeling pretty awesome but when the second week rolled around this veggie lover wanted to almost puke at the sight of veggies. Looking back to the first week I have to ask -- did I go overboard the first week and that's why I'm already sick of my beloved veggies?
Second week questions -- Maybe I should've stuck to pita pockets, veggies & hummus instead of buying those pre-made frozen lunches? Did I not walk enough? Is it really hurting me that bad not having Sierra kick my butt in classes? Can I DO this?
Halfway through 2nd week I was still doing well... I lost another inch from my tummy & my total weight loss was 5 whole pounds! Come Sunday though, I was up about 1.5 pounds, dang it! This morning I'm up another pound! What in the world?
So here I am facing my downfall and telling you all about it so I can be accountable. It was 'Girls Night Out' Saturday night and I splurged, big time. The night was amazingly fun & I danced my ass off. BUT I knocked back about 10 too many vodka crans and the hangover I've had since Sunday is screaming at me, reminding me of all the reasons I don't drink... or when I do, it's only 1/2 a glass of wine.
With all that, I LOVE that one of our additional challenges this week is 'No alcohol' - Guess what? I can DEFINITELY do that one & I'll willingly accept it!
Here's to Week 3!

I know that whenever I splurge on cocktails the scale will go up at least 3 pounds. (sometimes 5) between the drinking I just don't realize the snacking and what I'm eating. Also the alcohol will make me bloat. Try increasing your fluids this week. I'm sure by buckling down for week 3 you will see some great results.
ReplyDeleteI know you had posted earlier this week you were bored to death of your veggies. I hear ya. I like doing a stir fry cause their are so many different veggies in them. I just hate buying all the ingredients and chopping them up. I found in the the produce section at Fred Meyers they have fresh stir fry packs with everything. (onions, bean sprouts, bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli) Plus I used the Braggs as my seasoning and I didn't need salad dressing since the veggies were "wet."
With week 1, I think I had such great results because I stuck to the menu plan Sierra handed out. A little boring and repetitive but at least I didn't have to "think" about what I was going to eat. :)
I did swap the cereal for a smoothie. I make it with low fat yogurt, a big handful of spinach, (you can't taste it, just turns it green)banana, and a few frozen strawberries. I also add a scoop of Metamucil and half a scoop of protein powder.
Good luck to week 3. I'm sure you will get back on the horse and be happy you did come Sunday!
Don't be discouraged! Use these feelings as fuel to kick it back up! You don't have to go veggie crazy :). If your sick of them substitute something else just watch your calories. Veggies are so great because of the nutrition and low calorie profile :). U can do this :)
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Liz & Sierra! I figure if I'm honest with all of you (and myself) then I'll HAVE to take ownership for my decisions so this blog ROCKS for that!
