Murphy's Law
As my life goes, the girls all gung-ho for the weight loss challenge at work didn't last long. They cheated all week. While they sat there and ate chips & candy bars I sucked down yet another bottle of water. Weigh in day comes, I lose 2.5 lbs and they out lose me. The girl on the "super restrictive" diet lost 12 lbs! Despite the fact that she ate out every day of the week (and she did not choose healthy options)
My intention was not intended to offend anyone here that may be on a plan that provides food for you. Those are fine plans (JC, Nutrisystem, etc...)--I was just trying to make the point that she is on a system that gets the drastic gastric bypass results b/c it is so extreme. (Not quite sure that it is the most ethical or healthy plan to pursue). Of course, she has that potential if she abides by it.
Now that I can reflect on my first week I can see that I ate entirely too many processed foods. Although I ate mostly frozen diet meals w/ lotsa veggies, they were mostly canned veggies (mega-sodium). Although I was drinking more water than I had been it was not suffiecient for the sodium I was taking in. Plus, the real pisser was TOM. It is amazing that I even showed a loss now that I think of it.
Training officially started for the mini last week. I have yet to go to the gym once! What a loser! It is so freaking cold here this week I can't bare the thought of getting in and out of my car anymore than I absolutely have to. The temps are "warming" up so I plan to be on track Monday. Sucks that I am a week behind. But it is absolutely no excuse to fall into my old all or nothing ways. I am really excited about swimming laps this year.
Can't wait to hear what all my little movers and shakers have been up to.
