Heather's Week 10 Report

I already had a meal planned last night to make pork taco salads with fresh guacamole, so I didn't do the new group challenge last night.  Early in the day I thought I'd just have the veggies, pork, and guacamole. After a good swim yesterday morning and then shoveling snow for an hour in the afternoon, I just really wanted to eat that tortilla too.

Here's to some planning for the the rest of the week so I can avoid carbs in the afternoon & evening. I really need to do something different for a week, because I gained 4 pounds at my weigh in yesterday morning. BOO! Although you may not want to hear my excuses and frustrated musings, I don't have anywhere else to spew them, so too bad.

I just finished my period; we were traveling; I have been feeling stressed & bummed since we got home . . . which of these things is to blame? Something I'm proud of though is that I know it is some other factor, because despite the above mentioned I haven't let that be an excuse to eat crappily (making that adverb up) or to not workout. It does stink, but I am hoping my little rant here will let me just move on. It's just a number . . . I did gain an inch as well, but here's a silver lining regarding that-it was on my chest. WHA??? I measured three time just to make sure because I thought it was so funny! Didn't gain any inches anywhere else.

So here are the numbers:

Points: 80.5/84
Weight: 162.7 (4.7 lb. gain)
Inches: 205.75 (1 inch gain)
Total: 80.5

While I'm thinking about it, wanted to ask that next week for our final reports we send in all the specifics for our measurements, etc. I'll send out a sample on Thursday to let you know how I'd like you to do it.

So, I hope the rest of you fared better than me this week. I know I'm not close to winning any prizes, but I feel accountable to you ladies every week, and I never want to put up disappointing numbers; gotta be a good example and all.

I forgot-my personal goal for the week is to up my veggie intake. I want at least 60 of my calories a day to come from vegetables.

Keep up the good work friends!
