What a Great Show!
Last night was our big concert, and we played to a sold out house! I wore my new "toy"; my Bodymedia Bodyfit arm band, and during our time on stage, apparently I was burning up 9.8 calories a minute, and completed almost 9,000 steps!! I'll take that! I did pretty well getting food in during the day, but shows are always hard. I don't like to eat before a performance so even though I did bring food, I didn't do so well getting it in. Today is a new day, I can relax a bit now and I am doing better with my intake so feeling like that's a win. And it sure felt good last night to have a couple of people who hadn't seen me, almost not recognize me! The hard work is finally apparently starting to show. I really notice also, that before, I would start to sweat just thinking about walking on stage - last night I got through the show without hardly breaking one! That's a huge victory for me and it felt really good.
So on to today. It's a beautiful day for a walk, and I'm going to continue to work on getting more food in. This business of getting in only 600-800 calories is NOT good and needs to stop NOW. It certainly isn't helping my weight go anywhere any faster. I'm sure I'll get a good chewing by my counselor tomorrow lol. The good news is Bellydance classes start up again tomorrow night, so maybe that will help increase my appetite, but I think the big culprit is drinking too much coffee. As much as I love it and want to hang on to my Hawaii experience, I think the Kona mac nut coffee is going to have to go on the back shelf for a while!!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well! Have a great week, and here's to a good weight loss this week!
