When dieting, I typically don't recommend weighing yourself every week, because it usually takes longer than that to see results, and your weight can fluctuate from day to day. Thus said, my eating and exercise regimen was so dramatically different this past week than the past few months, so I just had to check.
I'm sure that you'll all understand my shriek of delight when the scale showed a drop of 6 lbs and a loss of 2% body fat!!! Wohoooo!!! That was a great motivator and I was really excited as I went shopping at Whole Foods later that afternoon. I got lots of great veggies and lean meats and was looking forward to preparing some tasty and healthy meals.
Re the competition stats, my boyfriend had the same great results that I did, and he actually beat me by a measly 5 points for the week. No matter, I'll get 'em next week.
On the healthy eating front, I'm not a chef by any means. I have done some cooking in my life, but it's always with a recipe book and lots of measuring tools in hand. I have a bunch of friends who are truly talented in that area and are just naturals at it. I went to visit one of them while I was out in SF for the week, and I got a couple of great recipes that I tried out on Sunday that were fabulous. Who knew that I could eat Swiss chard and like it?? He even made brussel sprouts taste great.
Now I'm all set for the next week working at home – which can be a challenge when dieting. Wish me luck!
