Weigh-in Wednesday is here...time to step on the scale. I did ok at the end of last week, and totally kicked it up with eating well this weekend. I told myself after last Wednesday I needed to get it together with my diet. I've stuck to my meal plan so far this week and we haven't ordered takeout! That's huge for us since we normally do it once a week. Since last weigh-in I've ran 10 miles, done 2 cycling classes, and 30 minutes of pilates. I even took Nugget on a bike ride this morning. So here's the moment of truth:

Down 2.7lbs! Woo! I'm pretty happy with that number and know I will keep it up this week. I'm really hoping to be at 150 by my birthday (March 3), so that's the short term goal for the moment.
One thing that has been a big help this week was apple cider vinegar. I used to drink it a few months ago because of the health benefits and it really helped to keep my hunger at bay. It's not the best tasting drink, but you get used it it. I make it into a tea if you will, by adding it to hot water and stirring in a bit of honey to help with the flavor. Hubs thinks it's NAS-TY, but it's not too bad. I've read so many things about the benefits of ACV, so I'm really going to try and keep up with it.
Off to take a nap. Nugget is having some sort of growth spurt/sleep regression/teething thing that has caused him to be up for 2 hours the past 2 nights. This mama needs her beauty rest!
Girl what a great week you've had... obviously with the loss, but with all of the moving you've been doing too! Great job!!

Thanks! I follow your blog now, too :)
DeleteI did a thing through my chiropractor months ago that tasted like apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure I could do
ReplyDeleteIt... Maybe I should look into it. I don't know much about the health benefits of it... New follower. :)
I think part of the reason I don't mind ACV so much is because I like things that are vinegary. If you're going to do it, start with maybe 1/2 or 1 tbsp. in a glass of hot water and add some honey. Once you get used to the taste, add a little more until you're at 2 tbsp.
DeleteI've used ACV as a gargle before when I was sick and my throat felt better pretty quick. I do believe it's got some good healing properties to it :)
great job on the loss! you got this and imagine how great it will feel when you are smoking hot and at your goal on your birthday!!

DeleteGreat job on the loss! I've heard a lot about ACV but have never tried it. I'm going to look into it a bit more probably give it a try :)

You should definitely give it a try! It doesn't taste the best, but you get used to it :)
