Well, it would seem that tomorrow is Thursday! I know I am going to have to step on the scale and be disappointed! I have done horrible the past week! Work has been incredibly stressful! I've even been to busy to write anything on here. Friday and Saturday of last week were 11 hour days and Monday-today has been 12 hours. That means early mornings and late nights. I've eaten a lot of take out and a lot of pizza. The scope of the event my team is doing is just so huge we only crawl out the conference room a couple times a day...only to stand/work in the 100 degree heat. I wish they would provide us with healthy options like fruit and juice, but instead we have soda and various pastries for breakfast and pizza for lunch. None of which are good on the waist line!! I realize that I could bring my own healthy choices, but by the time I get home I have just enough energy to shower and eat dinner. I'm usually asleep before my head even hits the pillow!
Now enough with my excuses!! Today SHOULD be the last day of this event! Which means one more day of junk food and then I am back at it!! I've got all the stuff for some delicious salads and some fun low calorie dinners! I'm ready to get back to eating good and feeling healthy. It's crazy to me that even after just 2 weeks of eating healthy and taking vitamins how much better I felt! This week I've felt tired and bloated! I even developed a small cold. I don't know if that has anything to do with eating unhealthy and long hours, or if it was just bound to happen. Idk! I do know that I can wait to try the Mediterranean "chicken" wrap recipe my sister gave me! It's really low-cal, but has quite a pit of protein in it!!
Anyway, It is time I head back to the bat cave to hopefully begin wrapping up this hell of a week! See you tomorrow....*queue menacing music...

If you want a hint about how to lose weight, here's one: have enough sleep.
ReplyDeleteI know, it sounds dumb, but there's a hormonal release that help process fat and that fella gets in our system after the sixth or the seventh hour of sleep.
Feel free to verify it by yourself however, don't take my word for it. But I've seen a lot of people beating themselves over with weight loss "plateau"ing that was in fact caused by insufficient sleep.
My two cents anyway. At any rate, you tumbled this week; keep your spirit high, try your best and you will succeed, I'm certain. :)
Interestingly enough I've heard that before. I do try and get a good 8 hours, but when you have to get up at 4:30am for work...it's a little bit difficult. This is an important reminder for sure. Getting enough sleep is not only good for being alert the next day, but also to help lose weight!
DeleteThanks as always for the support and advice!!
