Yesterday was the big day! And, I missed the mark by one measly pound. Yep, I weighed in at 126 pounds. I’m not going to beat myself up about it. I did my best considering my circumstances the last couple of weeks. Ming was the priority. I may not have exercised every day; however, I stayed on track with my running/walking and managed four days of cardio. I’ll get back on track with my strength training this week.
My new challenge: How many days will it actually take me to lose this one pound? I plan to weigh myself every morning until I weigh 125 pounds. I start tomorrow, Tuesday 4 December. Let’s have fun and turn this into a contest. Leave me a comment on my blog with the number of days you think it will take me to lose one pound. It will ONLY count if you leave the number of days on my blog. The person who guesses the number or is closest to the number wins a prize.
I’ve added something new to my pantry: Kashi Go Lean Crunch! Cereal (1 Cup contains 3g fat; 190 calories; 13g sugar; 9g protein; 8g fiber). I eat it with Almond Milk: Silk PureAlmond Original (1 Cup contains 2.5g fat; 60 calories; 7g sugar; 1g protein; 1g fiber). You can cut out 7g of sugar by getting the unsweetened Almond Milk.
So, as the week progresses indulge in a little relaxation. Take a bubble bath, read a book, listen to some fabulous music, take a stroll, etc. Enjoy whatever makes you happy and brings you joy. Life is meant to be lived. Happiness!
“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” ~ Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
