Weight: 197.4
Starting weight 200.8
Goal weight: 192
I'm close to 50% of my goal. I told myself if I could get that far by 2 weeks in I would be all set. I didn't count on the scale being so inconsistent. Yesterday I weighed in at 196.8 and was so excited to see that 50% mark it validates all the work I have been putting in even if I thought I would be further ahead by now.
Things I'm proud of and have accomplished in 2 weeks:
-Minimal snacking, especially in the evening and when walking in the door from work. I have a bad habit of stuffing my face with crackers and chips when walking in my door. It doesn't matter if I try to eat before coming home it always happens. This has been nonexistent in 2 weeks. If I do snack my portions are measured out and the snacks are put away.
-Hydration. If there is anything that makes me excited it is my water intake. My lowest to date in two weeks is 70 ounces, with an average closer to 100 ounces a day or more.
- Feeling terrible and pushing through anyway. This cough and congestion set me back for a few days. It was hard to breathe during intense cardio and I took each day as it came. I started my antibiotic today, hopefullly it will leave for good.
-I finished my 4th week of the Charlie Mike program by Ashley Horner. It's totallly changed my body and perception of what I can lift. I've nailed quite a few personal bests including improving my treadmill mile by 2 minutes. This is huge as I still loathe the treadmill.
-Not becoming obsessed with the scale. The one aspect of dietbet that scared me is my previous obsession with the scale. I told myself it was okay to weigh daily to keep me focused and I have stuck with this. I also don't allow fluctuations to determine my progress and mood.
Things I need to work on:
- Not panicking when I feel the scale should move faster.
-Staying consistent with meals and not waiting to long to eat.
-Eating more food. I know I'm falling short by about 200-300 calories a day, especially on endurance days ( running 4 miles or more)
-steps. 15k or more daily.
Looking forward to week 3 and feeling better.
Good luck everyone!!
