Week 4 - Fourth of July Festivities

Here we are week 4, and as ultimately expected I did gain for the week.  The last couple days were so out of control, and reigning them back in was not happening.  I had a 3 lbs gain this week! Yikes!!  But I shed 2 just by sticking to my plan and eating better.  Let's hope this week shows some progress.

I have my menu plan at the ready - thanks to 5 dinners in an hour.

Now we just need to clear out the fridge and get the shopping.

I finally finished my Sherlock Virtual Race 22.1 mi, which I started May 12.  We were working out at the gym 3 days a week, but stopped due to the pool opening and summer vacation starting.  So I had 3 miles that needed finished, and I finally completed them.  

I did manage to monitor the veggie fruit intake this week, and did end up adding some more, not enough but better.  I'm good with the water - I live on the stuff.  I'm hoping the rain slows a little so we can get out and walk in the evenings a little more, it's a challenge to dodge storms when they happen around dinner time.

Again, I'm not mad at my choices, they were what they were.  I recognize that I'm going to have challenging weeks and that losing about 50 lbs is as much about mending my habits as it is about the food I choose. 

Goals for week 4:

• stay on points as best I can.
• keep up with veggies
• keep up with fruit
• exercise
• drink water
• track everything - count everything 
• be nice to myself.

Current Weightloss: 3 lbs gain (3 lbs total lost)
