Weigh-In Day
It's weigh-in day for the Biggest Loser contest at my gym. ACK! I really don't want to see a gain. I wasn't feeling overly motivated when the contest began 2 weeks ago, but quickly found my competitive streak. Now, after a long weekend with Mom&Dad, I'm praying not to see any added pounds.
I have successfully avoided soda for the past 2 weeks and am still going strong. When we went out to dinner the other night, they ordered a pitcher of soda for the table but I stuck with drinking a glass of water instead. I was quite proud of myself. I didn't think I could give it up so easily, but I haven't had too much of a struggle so far.
I've also been trying to break myself of eating out so much. During the weekdays, I would normally grab lunch out somewhere. I spend so much time at home during the week that I felt the need to treat myself to lunch. I can't keep doing that if I want to lose weight. So, I've been buying Lean Cuisine and Smart One meals for my lunches instead. It saves some calories and some money in the long run. I may still treat myself every now and then, but certainly not every afternoon.
This week begins Week 3 of the 8 week contest. Here's hoping I can keep going strong! I'm heading off to the gym in about 15 minutes...
