Weekends

So anyone that has tried to lose weight knows that weekends are the wonderful yet evil time of the week that either make or break your diet. This being my first weekend I wanted to make it a good one so I didn't have that discouraging weight on Monday morning. Having my offical "weight in" on mondays makes me a little more vigalent during the weekends I think too :)

Sat. was definitely a challenge. I went to a Harry Potter movie marathon which I knew I would be sitting for 10 hours while there would be plates of food a few steps away. So to combat this situation I went to the gym in the early a.m. and ran for 15 min and walked for 15min, getting a good 30 min of carido in, as well as 100 sit ups. When I got to the party I brought my own snack of celery sticks (0 calories) and hummus. that is all i ate. And i ate a good deal of it. When it was time to order dinner, I did not partake in the pizza, rather, ordered chicken and a side salad. I felt so proud of myself. I did give in and had 1/2 a cookie with Andrew...anda corona...but it ended up being Ok, because Sunday morning I woke up weighing 179!

So sunday i went to the gym and swam for 40 min, then afterward i got an italian sub for lunch. total FAIL, but I hadnt eaten all day (and it was 2pm at that point)...then i got to cleaning my room, which i promise was an aerobic activity!
Later Andrew came over and wanted to get dinner. i split a salad with him (Apple Walnut salad from Greene Turtle, dont be fooled by "salad" a full salad is actually 1000 calories!) and then i had a bowl of crab soup. I am not sure how much sodium was in that dinner, but I ended up waking up this morning to 182. boo! but for my first week I have lost 3 pounds! So I cant complain too much...I just cant wait to wake up to a number <180 consistently!

So for week one:
Starting weight: 185
Current Weight: 182
Week Weight lost: 3
Total Weight lost: 3

Calroies ate: 1200/ day
Work out: thurs-run/sat-run/sun-swim

So my next goals for this week is:
-go to the gym at least 3 times this week, to run at least twice and swim once
-walk the dog 1 mile in the morningss
-goal is to be 179 by next week
-do not eat past 8pm
