Still Around...

I'm still around.

And in boot camp.

And loving it.

And making progress....

But it's slow and discouraging.

Well....back up. I'm losing about a pound a week, which is a completely acceptable and healthy number, it's just not as fast as I'd like. And I know. I've been alllll over Pinterest. I've seen the pins about you didn't put it on overnight; it's not going to come off overnight. I know that, but still, I was hoping for at least a few weeks where my loss would equate to two or three pounds. And it didn't help this that this week turned out to be a difficult one as far as what I put in my body and how often I worked out. Double fail. =/

Trying to stay positive, I told my husband Friday night that it was okay. Yeah. I messed up. But I didn't completely undo everything I had worked for, and I'd just have to get right back to it. And I'm right. I know that. But it's still frustrating. Add to that trying to buy clothes for vacation. ...We're going to Disney World soon. I haven't really bought any new clothes since I started working out. I've been able to mostly pull out some of my older smaller clothes. But I do need shorts. So, not knowing exactly what size I am now, we went shopping. I was able to buy one pair of shorts a size smaller....the second one was the same size. =/ To be fair, I could actually get on the smaller size of the second pair. But it was muffin city, if you know what I mean, and I didn't find that very attractive. I will give msyelf some credit, though. ...Buying clothes that actually fit you does provide a nice slimming effect. My clothes now fit, in the morning, but by the end of the day, I'm constantly pulling on them. So I guess any small victory is good.

I guess I should finally start owning up to what I eat. They all seem to say that keeping track of what you eat aids in weight loss...the accountability part, anyway. Sooo...what I've had so far today:

Breakfast:

 Bacon and Egg taco from Fuego....with some queso and salsa. I know, not the best. But my husband drove the car there, and I was powerless to stop him. And really, I could have done a lot worse than that. Plus I had ice water with lemon.

Snack:

Banana cookie w/ chocolate chips (pretty much like a single serving of banana bread; I probably won't use the chips next time)

Lunch:

Natural peanut butter on wheat toast
Small Granny Smith apple with about 2 Tbsp of natural peanut butter
1 glass of skim milk
....still hungry.... =/
