Not a great week, but not horrible either
Jan 12 2009 09:17

I weighed myself on Thursday- 212. Down 0.2lbs from Monday. Not great but at least its a loss. Not to mention that I'm really slow in getting back into my good habits, and I only went to the gym once last week, as opposed to the 3x I had planned. There were no groceries in the house, so I basically subsided on (very salty) chicken soup, canned beans (in molasses) eggs and rice cakes, with the occasional chocolate truffle thrown in for flavoring. So not a perfect week. This may have set me back a little, but as of last night, I'm much more prepared to start fresh.

The positives: 

• Went grocery shopping with the parentals last night, stocked up on all kinds of healthy, low fat and whole grain foods/snacks
• I packed my lunch this morning, which usually means I eat healther to begin with (A turkey sandwich on french bread, lots of fruit and a 100 cal pack of cookies for my 3pm snack)
• Had oatmeal for breakfast at 6am, will have my banana in about an hour. When I start my day like that, usually things tend to fall into place better
• I'm working out today, after work. What's more, I've got an appointment with a personal trainer who's going to tweak my current program- it needs to be a little more aggressive.

I'll focus on these positives and try to build up from there.
