So I have to laugh, because ever time I try and lose weight I end up getting sick. It is like some horrible trick my body likes to play on me. As soon as I start doing well at this I guess my body figures I need to be humbled.
This has happened to me so many times though that this time it hasn't even phased me. So this week while we all have been passing colds around our family, I have been focusing on my eating since I have been too sick to exercise.
I did figure out a good trick though. Since I have been feeling crappy I haven't gone grocery shopping in over a week and I do really well with my eating when there is nothing to eat at home. If I don't have things in my house I can grab easily, I just don't even bother. Probably not the recommended way to do it, but this was one of those weeks when I just didn't care.
Progress check! So far with 3 weeks into my journey I have lost 8 lbs. I realize this is an okay number, but I think because I have been faithfully watching the Biggest Loser for so long; it just seems disappointing to me. I know it isn't really that healthy for you to lose more than that in a week and I should be happy with losing 1-3lbs a week; but I have decided to make a crazy goal for myself. My husband will finish the semester this Friday and with him home more I am going to workout like 3 times a day "Biggest Loser" style. At least one week during this summer I want to lose DOUBLE DIGITS!!!! I want a number like the ones you see on TV. I am going to wait till I am feeling better, but once I am I am going to have an AWESOME WEEK. Can't wait!
haha! I'm sick too! And come to think of it I've gotten sick so many times when I'm trying to lose weight! Also I can't tell the difference between body aches from the flu and being sore frome working out!! That would be crazy to have double digits!!!
