Saturday we all got together for our morning workout. This week, we took a field trip to Kanapaha Park. It was a bit cold, but the wind was worse. But we took it all in stride as we tromped back and forth on the soccer field. It felt good to be in the sunshine and the cold & wind quickly disappeared. They worked us out hard and pushed us to our limits. Although there were times when I wanted to stop, I pushed on to the finish, giving it my all. As I continue to think about the contest, I am realizing that I have already won. There are lots of people who would LOVE to be in my place. Getting the expert advise & training is priceless. Thank you again to Dan, Meghan & Caitlyn for all of their dedication to our training.
My new way of eating is getting easier. I made a homemade trail mix. It is perfect to grab on the go when I am in a rush and need to take a meal. I'm also getting used to Greek Yogurt. Its really good and good for me. I'm going to post a list of my 320 cal meals if you're interested in getting ideas. I sometimes let the day get away from me and realized that I haven't eaten at my 3 hour mark. My stomach usually reminds me. I also try to prepare things on Sunday for the week. I did my trail mix, boiled some eggs and cut some fruit. I'm also trying to keep myself from feeling deprived. We have regular pizza/movie nights on Fridays. Pizza isn't really healthy, but its good and watching my family chow down isn't really fun. So, I checked on the calorie count and a slice of pepperoni pizza from Dominos and it is 324 calories. So, I eat one piece and call it a night! I allow myself anything, but I just make sure to keep the portion in check.
We didn't have an official weigh-in this week, but I weighed myself and home to find that I have lost 4 more lbs! This is great news because just this week, they gave me a goal of 8 lbs lost in the first month. Our first month-end weigh in is Feb. 5th and I'm over half way to my goal!
