Week #1 Update

Hello Everyone!

Here is my update:

Start: 147lbs
Current weight: 144lbs (I should have posted yesterday when I read that you are always your lightest on a Friday)

So my only major change for this weight loss journey is to eat 40/40/20. Since I love to snack on fruit and popcorn, my carbs tend to be around 60/70% which is terrible. Since I have been eating 40% carbs basically by swapping out fruit with veggies and eating lots of protein I have more energy, feel less hungry, snack less and weight is getting better. It is sad how this always seems to be the case yet I try so hard to fight the protein!

I decided that I won't cut out alcohol for this challenge. I don't really drink that much but when I do I drink to excess...then snack to excess to get undrunk. This time if I would like to have a drink I will just not a whole bottle or pitcher, hahah. I guess it also doesn't help that this weekend is a wine tasting weekend extravaganza. I am always the DD which helps with that except this time my friend offered soooo I don't have an excuse per say.

100 push ups of death challenge. So coincidentally in my boxing class we had to do 100 push ups (also 100 of a lot of other crappy things). I made it under 5 minutes but not how I wanted to complete the challenge so this one is going to be tricky. I did 50 real push ups and then 50 "ladies" push ups. Sooo hard! It didn't help that I just worked chest the other day. I told Steve when I got home and he was like "you can't do 100" well lets see you try....50 down. Ha!

Oh chin ups......so much harder when you are heavier! Seriously, add 10lbs and it is impossible. I bought a chin up bar so now I can bring the fun home. This one is going to be a toughy.


Still can't fit into any pants other than my fat ones! Hopefully this will change soon!
