Progress Checkin...

Weight and Last Week
So, my test last week was to actually NOT journal for a week and see if that would relieve some of the pressure I was putting on myself. Well, though I gained a lb I felt really good last week! Like I cooked more and actually ate leftovers lol. I went to the grocery store and got healthy food, I went to Zumba Sat. and I had a bit more energy. I think the non-journaling helped because I was constantly like..."hmm wonder what the points are on this...since I can't journal I better be on the cautious side". I did point some things...like the apple crisp I made and ate (the whole pan) in one night. It was really effin good tho! Got plenty of servings of fruit in lol...

I also changed my WW online week, back to Week 4. I think I was technically on Week 6. But after realizing I had stupidly not been reading my weekly lessons I went back and caught up and felt like Week 4 which talked about power foods and weight gains really helped. I actually photocopied how to build a breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as their WW power foods lists and hung them on my fridge. And to boot I actually referred to them when putting together my meals (fyi....brussel sprouts are a power food...thank god for small miracles lol....)....ooo gonna post my Broiled Brussel Sprouts recipe.

Exercise
Anywho, I am going to amp it up this week, as the trick hip is feelin good I want to keep it warmed so I'm gonna try and do TWO Zumba classes this week. Tuesday and Sunday. Plenty of time to recover in between.

This Week's Focus
Though, I will go back to journaling this week (ewww) I want to focus on journaling this week. It was going to be water but I don't want to avoid something I know I can fix...I mean just write the shit down Earl! lol. But one small habit at a time. My goal....and I need to start small is just to journal EVERY dinner. Since I seem to stop at 5pm everyday. I will naturally journal throughout the day but for this week my main focus will be my dinners.

Phaboo to the Yow,

Earl
