First week down!

Today finished off our first week of training. Saturdays are the only days that all 7 of us will workout together. It is also weigh-in day. I did OK, 1.25 lbs. down. But the competetive side came out in me when I learned that some lost 4 & 3 lbs.....urrggg! The entire workout I had to look around to see what everyone else was doing to make sure I was stepping it up! I didn't do well at my food intake this week (see CVS sabotage post). So I was very excited to do our "field trip" to Publix to go through the aisles and see what foods we should/shouldn't eat! Most of it wasn't new to me, but although I knew that certain things were bad for me, it didn't stop me from eating them. The basics of what we learned is to shop the outside aisles of the supermarket and stay away from all the processed foods in the middle...as much as possible! Half of my cart should be made up from the produce section! Yikes! This is going to be hard for me mainly because I am so cost conscience of our grocery bill and now I'm going to have to shop in the more expensive areas of the store. The workout part is easy...because you just show up and they tell you want to do. The real competition is going to come down to who does better with their diet and I need to step that up. Pizza night last night was not the best thing for my plan, but I did limit myself to only one slice so that I wasn't depriving myself. I need to plan ahead better, have some new healthy snacks ready and plan healthy dinners and I should be able to do this! Ready, set, gooooooooooo!
