I haven't updated my blog in quite a while. My weight hasn't changed. I did have a couple weeks where it shot up 5 pounds back in February, but I've managed to tame the beast. I can't seem to get past 155. The lowest I've been was 151 when I had a stomach bug a while back...not my recommended weightloss method. Toward the end of January and into February, I started allowing myself too much freedom with food and had stopped exercising for the most part. Becoming full-time at work plus freelance work has really put a damper on my exercise/energy. Since March started, I've been back at the gym twice a week, and I'm trying to be active when I can in my day-to-day life. I've been having the same breakfast and lunch for the past couple weeks, and it seems to be working for me. I'm satisfied, and the food is tasty:
Breakfast: 2 Kashi Whole Grain Waffles with whipped berry cream cheese, coffee w/creamer
Lunch: Tomato/cucumber/spinach sandwich with 2 wedges of Laughing Cow spreadable cheese, Light and Fit Cherry greek yogurt, blackberries (sometimes)
Jamie and I have been working to keep our dinners lower in carbs during the week. I did try the low/no carb diet again the week prior to the above menu, and dropped 3 pounds. But, it came right back on during the weekend. The first week of the above menu, I dropped the same 3 pounds, and it stayed off. I think I'll stick with the sane diet versus the low/no carb. I just don't like meat enough to survive that way.
My new goals are to get back to jogging, since I've not been at it as much this year AND to get to my 140/145 goal weight. Ten pounds doesn't sound like a difficult task, but you'd be amazed at how much effort it takes once you get closer to your target weight!
