Power of One: Week 4
Another week has gone by and I can proudly say it was a better week than the past few. Even with adjusting to a new school/work schedule, I only caved once… well… let me back up. Friday we went ice skating (post coming soon!) and it was my first time so I was crazy nervous about falling. It took the hour we were there for me to get my bearings. I’d go again, it was fun! Afterward, we had Chuy’s, a Mexican restaurant and I definitely pigged out… no more fast food until Monday night when Gray and I both had blizzards from Dairy Queen. However, in my defense, I had eaten well during the day and I just wanted a little chocolate. It didn’t actually cause me to gain any extra weight or water. I know that because I weigh myself the morning after any fast food.
So yeah, those were my only meals out of the house this week. I’ve taken my lunch to school and I’m going to have to step it up… so far I’ve had sandwiches with real chicken, some carrots, yogurt, a jello mousse, and then usually some cereal… all gluten-free. Some days it is in enough, and others… like last Thursday, I’m starving and dehydrated before I am done with school… must hydrate more at school!
So the numbers…
This Week: 144.0 lbs
Last Week: 145.2 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: -2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 9 lbs
Yes, I lost 1.2 pounds this week! It probably helps that the past few days I’ve eaten salads… and a lot of fruit… I’ve added blueberries to my fruit salad and YUM!
The plan for this week is to step it up and add some exercise… yes, I’ve been a slacker, mainly because most days after school I need to eat and then I just want to sit there and do nothing. I need to get up and move though because we have 3 and 5 hour classes and I sit all day long.

Good for you Becca! It is a lot of trial and error when you start out preparing and bringing everything with you for meals at work/school, but it sounds like you really did well. I love, love, love blueberries! Yum, yum!

@Kirsten, Thanks… somedays I'm not as hungry and others I'm chowing down so I guess it's better to overpack than under at this point.
good job on the loss! That's a success. Sounds like you can see where to improve and now it's just putting it into action!

@Thea @ Shrinking Jeans, Thanks. :)
A great week, IMO!
@Bari, :P Thanks.
Sounds like a great week. Definitely hard to get up and moving while sitting in classes all day. It's been a while, but I remember.
If you have a chance, I have a review and giveaway for a book called Alpine Weight Loss Secrets by Stefan Aschan going on over at my main blog, http://www.totsandme.blogspot.com. Stefan grew up in Austria where he had a very active lifestyle and now lives in the city, but has learned how to go back to what he learned growing up, plus all the scientific knowledge he has gained. Definitely a good eye opening intriguing read.
I am now following your blog.
My weight loss blog is Turn My Life Around (itsgonnaturnaround.blogspot.com) Would love it if you could stop by.
