This week was decent. I had two days when I ate way too much and did not stick to the plan. The first was last Sunday, I had 2,061 calories and 157 carbs. This was the day of the move. Even though it was a high day I felt ok about it. No binging. I had 2-3 glasses of wine and ate through out the day while staying fairly active.
The second bad day was Thursday. I ate 2,348 calories and 158 carbs. I went bowling and out for dinner for a friend's birthday. The calories might be higher than this but it's a pretty good estimation. I had two beers while bowling and 1 glass of wine at dinner. I ordered salmon and a couple vegetables for the sides. I had bread! I NEVER have bread. I wasn't even that hungry. Everyone else was pigging out on the bread and once I got a taste of it I just wanted more. I blame the alcohol! I think I had three small slices. So that was mistake number 1. Mistake number 2 was the desert. WOW was it good. I mean REALLY REALLY good. Chocolate cake, raspberry cheesecake, and tiramisu cheesecake. Again, I blame the alcohol. I did not need the wine with dinner and I think I would have eaten less desert. Planning to only have 3 bites clearly did not work.
Without these two days in my week it would have been good. Looking forward to this week I need to make sure that I behave myself on Tuesday. I'm going out with some friends from work. I think everyone's main goal is to drink. I need to behave myself, especially since I won't be close to home and I'll need to drive home. It'll help knowing that I need to get sober before I drive home. Here were my goals and the results for this past week:
Calories eaten: 10,900 - actually ate 11,840.5 (940 over)
Since my goal is really 1600 calories per week I'm tracking the average as well.
Calorie average: 1691 calories - I'm disappointed in this number. I had hoped to do better than last week but instead my average was 20 calories more. Not huge but I would like to show improvement every week if I'm going over my goals.
Average Carb Goal: 115 Actual Average Carbs Eaten: 115.3 - Great!
Burn: 2,050 - actually burned 2,431 - Great!
Deficit: 2,910 - actual deficit was 2,350
Here are my measurements from this morning and what I gained or lost from the previous week:
132.6 pounds (LOST 2.2 LBS) 26% body fat (GAINED 1.3%)* 28.5 inches around my waist (LOST .7) 34.5 inches around my hips (SAME) *Why do I keep track of my body fat %?? The scale is not accurate! Yes I'm going to say this every week.
This is the end of the 2nd week of my 8 week challenge.
This is where I wanted to be at the end of week 2: Weight: 131.5 pounds (I am about a pound behind. I can handle it and get back on track) Waist: 28 inches (I'm .5 inch higher than I want to be) Hips: 34.5 inches (I'm right on!)
