It's been a busy week already at the office, I've been going flat out!
After Monday mornings awesome weigh in I totally didn't drink enough water for the last 2 days, AND yesterdays food was like...almost 70% cookies.
Jeez already. I have such up and downs... I'm so good, water, water, water.... then, brain fart.
Anyway, I'm back on it today, and I need it... because!!!!! yesterday I had my first real workout back in after surgery.
40min walk
front squats - 3 sets 5 reps - just the bar (45lbs)
bench press - 3 sets 5 reps - 65lbs
light stretching
I'm feeling the work in my legs today. Everything is sore and tired, which actually is a nice feeling. But it does mean I'm going to have to work really hard on my water to help flush all that lactic acid out of my poor weak muscles!!
Weigh in this morning - 258.6

Happy Monday
Monday Weigh In - 257.8
I had been starting to really worry about my big stall in December. However, I took stock, thought about my food, my activity, my sleep, my water intake - and decided that I would not have a full blown panic about it. I would simply make a few adjustments back towards the direction that I should and bingo. Payoff.
Today I didn't want to eat my tuna for lunch, but... I did, because now I am full and can't imagine putting anything else in there, protein - its whats good for ya!
"The weight will come off" was my mantra every morning I got on the scale, even though it didn't move much at all. After my little changes, the last few days have been glorious.
Weigh dropping on the scale is the result of persistence, good eating, water and effort over the last few weeks. NOT giving up. Not eating poorly because I'm not losing anyway so why bother. All good lessons to file into the brain bank and remember for the end of the month, when this will surely happen again.
I kept on it, and I have been happily rewarded for my perseverance and persistence.
Happy Monday!

Down!
Boom! Jumped on the scale this morning....
259.0
All new low (soon to be broken). Felt really good. Getting my protein and water in works. Really... I need to put that on a tattoo on my forearm. Every morning I need to get up and say;
Protein and water works.
Started today off right with my hot protein Chai latte from Big Train. Love this stuff.

Tight Pants
Weighed in again this morning at 260.0.
I can feel that I'm about to get off this hump and do some good progression downwards. :) It shall happen!!
I'm wearing my new 18 pants today. They are slightly too tight. Feel about like my 24's did 3 months ago, so I'm NOT complaining. In fact today I did them up this morning and said, "these will remind me that I'm not done". LOL
And they have.

New Year starting right - with my focus back on protein!
Breakfast, coffee and lunch today. I'm super full and really pleased with my intake today. More of this to follow. 63g protein already and I've not even had dinner yet! Can I get a HELL YEAH!
Tonight's dinner is going to be roasted beets with goat cheese, and turkey "pucks" (turkey meatloaf cooked in muffin tin). More delicious protein!!!!!

Its here!
2013 is here.
My gawds.. I don't know about you guys, but I had a hard time staying awake until midnight. LOL! lame old married lady now! We had some drinks, socialized with some friends that we hadn't seen in a while, and enjoyed fun lively conversation. Pretty much the perfect NYE in my opinion!
Nothing else too exciting. Brunch today with more friends at Chuy's (made famous for where the Bush Twins were picked up for underage drinking... but I think that Chuy's was in Dallas), I had the Tortilla Soup. SO YUMMY!
We stopped at a second hand bookstore to look around. I re-watched the last 2 Harry Potter films last weekend and have decided to re-read the series. Got the first book and the third in the Gunslinger series that I haven't finished, and a new one by Stephen King - Under the dome... can't recall the title right now. Lots of good reading for the next little bit.
I've been reading blogs for the last 40min... avoiding cleaning the bathrooms and getting the laundry done. So after this post, I have to hop to it.
Weigh in: 260.0
Time to get back on track. Christmas and NY are over. Time to dump the snacks and get back on protein packed lunches and back to working out and biking.
