Yesterday was weigh in day and I gained 0.2 pounds bringing down the total to 32.6 pounds loss. I am hoping the weight gain is from muscle growth since I have been going to the gym and becoming more active.
Nutrition:
I really didn't plan my meals for the week so I had a lot of days that I ate out. Though I tried to make healthy choices nothing is as good as cooking yourself and knowing exactly what goes into your food.
I tried the low carb La Tortilla Wraps and love them. I made a breakfast quesadilla one day and a tuna wrap another day (review and recipe coming soon!).
Fitness:
I went to the gym three times this week and followed an incline interval program I found on Pinterest. I wrote out the plan on a little piece of paper and taped it on to the treadmill. (Yes I did bring a little tape dispenser with me :)). It was really challenging so I had to modify the incline and speed to keep my heart rate in the correct zone.
I went on two walks this week. I did a short walk on Wednesday and a long walk on Saturday with toddler in tow.
Last weeks goals:
- Count my calories
- Prepare quinoa
- Go to the gym at least 3 times + a long walk - GOAL MET!
- Resistance Band workout 3 times
- Drink more water - GOAL MET!
This week:
- Count my calories
- Go to the gym at least 3 times + a long walk
- Resistance Band workout 3 times
- Drink more water
- Prepare quinoa
Whoo-hoo! Good for you for sticking with this journey for so long. I think I would have quit before 2 months and 3 weeks. 1 more week and you're at a full 3 months! That's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was going to a trainer he told me not to focus on the # so much as take measurements and see the inches change...your probley right that the gain is due to muscle. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an accomplishment. I love your polar watch. Has it been helpful in your workouts?
ReplyDeleteI love using my F11 polar watch because it makes me want to work harder if I am not in the right heart rate zone. I will be blogging about it soon with all the great little features very soon! :)
DeleteThis is great!!! I love it when people follow through with their weight loss goals!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your weight loss. Reading about your journey is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGood job on sticking with it for this long. I've found that logging your food and counting your calories is essential.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I think having a plan is so helpful. I too am on this healthy journey!
ReplyDeleteI am really starting to think I need to refocus my attention to get over this plateau and make dietary changes.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! I really think blogging about your challenge is what is helping you stick too it.
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate the gain? It's al a part of your body adjusting. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI am like a yoyo! Keep up the Great Work!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work! Its so important to make a plan. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I was inspired by your progress to look up the Dr. OZ plan. Though I have all I need I have not been able to stick to it because of being out of the house too often these past two weeks. I feel so very fat I need to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for keeping with it!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the weight loss so far! Keeping track of your weekly goals and stats like this is a great way to stay accountable.
ReplyDeleteDon't be discouraged by the minute weight gain. It probably is muscle weight. Plus, muscle weighs more than fat, so chances are you've lost more fat.
ReplyDeleteI have been very frustrated because I have tried many times on trimming and toning down my belly but I can't really keep track it is because of diet -it is so nice to eat foods especially when they are mouthwatering like that wraps you have.
ReplyDeleteYour Doing A AWESOME Job!!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!! 32 pounds is a great accomplishment. I am on 10 pounds. So you are way ahead of me. That dish looks delicious!!

Congrats on your journey
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! You are doing wonderful!!
ReplyDeletegood luck! Hopefully next week you'll lose some pounds :)
ReplyDeleteHave you heard about the 4 minute workout that can help you lose as much as 600 calories? Hop on to my blog (www.pehpot.com) and look for metafit :)
I have been on a roller coaster ride the majority of my life when it comes to weight. Muscle is heavier then fat so that gain is probably from that. Maybe you should start taking measurements--those are probably still going down!
ReplyDeleteYou're really doing well, in my opinion! Those interval programs are tough!!!
ReplyDeletedrinking more water - that's one i need to work on for sure - good job, you!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're enjoying some new recipes too. What a great perk!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing an awesome job, and I bet the weight gain is just water weight or from muscle.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing amazing! Watching your weight loss has inspired me to start getting back in shape and healthier too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success! That's great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love that you are documenting your journey!
