Firm Friday

Starting weight: 158

Current weight: 157.3

Lbs lost: .7 (Gain from last week!! I gained 1.1 pounds, ouch)

Lbs to go: 17.3

I achieved my workout goal and did one 5 mile run plus 32 lunges and two other workouts consisting of a 30 minute elliptical and core.

I tanked miserably in the eating department. On Sunday I had ice cream TWICE! Once at a froyo place and then once with cake for a birthday. Monday I ate like poo. Tuesday and Wednesday I did pretty well. Yesterday I ate like crap, tons of carbs. I was home all day with a sick boo and I baked a cake and banana bread so that was dumb. The only thing I have done okay at is breakfast, switching from whatever the kids are having to green tea and Grape Nuts. Otherwise, I suck and that is probably why I gained. I bought a cleanse through a homeopathic place and I need to do it because it will make a big impact and that always helps with the sugar cravings. The downside is I will be grouchy as hell and I probably won't feel well the first few days. I am planning on the last week in February because my birthday is in a few weeks and also I have work stuff that will not time well with me being grouchy and sick.

Good news: My butt is not actually smaller by any means, but it is lifted up a touch, probably thanks to running and lunges. I am supposed to be running 7 miles this weekend, but I think I will have to 5 mile it for one more weekend.

My goals this week are to eat better (this is proving to be much harder than I thought) and do a 5 mile run and two workouts. I would really love to do one additional workout, maybe some Gillian Michaels for 30 minutes, but we will see how it goes.

WHAT? It's so fun to complain about how I'm fat while eating strawberry cake with extra frosting. For serious. I can't imagine a life without desserts, but I can imagine a life without my love handles.
