This morning I did my weekly weigh in and I was excited that I had lost another pound (it's been 2 weeks since I weighed, so slow and steady). I moved our scale to the basement home gym since my husband wouldn't let me throw it away. As I was down there lifting, my husband came down to lift also. He weighed himself and he weighed 13 pounds more than me. What's the big deal? He has weighed either the same or less than me for the majority of our marriage, we have been married for over 15 years. He has gained about 7 pounds and I have lost about 13. I hated weighing more than him. It made me mad at myself and at him, which is silly because he has no control over my weight.
I had a great workout: chest and back and then a HIIT- I ran 3 miles up and down a hill. I kept on thinking challenge=change whenever I wanted to quit. It was a great motivator. I ended up running a 9:39 mile, which is pretty good given the hilly terrain;)
Then I spent the rest of the day getting ready for Thanksgiving. I shopped, baked clean cornbread (sooo good) for cornbread stuffing, clean cream of mushroom soup for green bean casserole, butternut squash soup for my dinner tonight and mac&cheese casserole for the family. And then I ran kids to their activities.
Whew!!! It was busy, but I really felt great all day. I know that it's because of the super nutritious foods I ate all day. Seriously, I love eating clean.
What's next for me: I have been researching the Paleo diet. I'm still struggling with Gastrointestinal issues so I downloaded a book about it. I guess it's worth a try.
Congrats on losing another pound! That's great! Sounds like you had an awesome workout today, too. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a (clean) Thanksgiving. Thanks for including us! I made a quick stop at Winco before spin class last night and the Chia seeds were completely gone, so I'll have to check again in a couple of days.
