At lunch time I walked a mile down to the local grocery store and picked up some salad supplies, a Gatorade, and a Clif Bar. I have had Clif Bars before and wasn't all that impressed but I needed some energy for the walk back and decided to try the Blueberry Crunch. It was rather tasty for an energy bar. When I got back to work I made myself a salad with the Cesar Salad kit I picked up but substituted the dressing for Italian and added some Mozzarella cheese. That may sound a bit odd but we go to this pizza place called Fatso's and they got me hooked on putting mozzarella on my salads.
Later that afternoon I had some pistachios and tried a Bob Harper workout that consisted of 20 jumping jacks, 20 lunges, 20 push-ups, and doing 3-5 sets of this circuit. To my surprise I barely made it through 1 set, so when I got home I was too exhausted to work out with Aamber like she wanted (sorry babe). For dinner I made Asian Lettuce Wraps with chicken, kale, bean sprouts, onion, and garlic all chopped together; then I wok'd them with soy sauce and brown sugar. We also reheated some chicken fried rice from Saturday night that didn't taste as good the second time. I was a little bad and had a couple Dr. Peppers at dinner along with a Skinny Cow for dessert.
All in all I felt good until I got on the scale this morning and saw that I was at 291.8! What the heck! That is so disheartening. What the heck am I doing wrong. Do I need to drink more water? I'll stick with it but my hopes aren't as high as they were on day 1.
That happens to a lot of people! Especially as your activity increases, your body holds onto water at first. I would suggest drinking a ton of water to help flush your system and avoiding salt for a few days. Also, eating small portions throughout the day (like, every 90 minutes have a piece of fruit or some nuts)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely give that a try. Thank You
