Week Four- Another Update.

-Week 4 Update-


Eating:
This week was pretty good (besides Tuesday). Again, I had a lot of salads and tried to eat more veggies/fruit. Same ole thing during the week. The weekend was tough!!!! Let’s just say these words…Olive Garden, The Tomato Pizza, Chili’s, and Fuddruckers. That was my weekend in a nutshell. We had a date night and a lot of invites to lunch and dinner with friends and family. It was GREAT hanging out with people, but hard to be “good”. Here is what I had though…I was pretty proud of myself overall.
Olive Garden-
The Good: Apricot Chicken with zuchinni and squash. Not a bite of pasta. It was THE healthiest thing on the menu and tasted awesome.
The Bad: The regular salad. I psyched myself up to get dry salad and a side of light dressing. BUT I was at Olive Garden and just could NOT do it.
The Ugly: I had a breadstick which I told myself I wouldn’t do.

The Tomato Pizza- The one that used to be on Fry street is now in Sanger
The Good: I drank water while everyone else had sodas.
The Bad: I had some pizza instead of a salad this time, BUT I only had 3 little square…about the equivalent of 1.5 slices. It was thin crust, so that was helpful.
The Ugly: There was no A/C in there and we waited forever. Oh, and no water due to a water main break, so I had to PAY for a bottle of water instead.

Chili’s-
The Good: I had the Margarita Chicken with rice and corn. Again, the healthiest thing on the menu that I could find on Weight Watchers. It was yummy.
The Bad: Nothing really
The ugly: I tested Mason’s chicken strips (I always taste his food first…just to make sure it is done) and then decided I needed a couple of more bites because they were SO good. Oooops!

Fuddruckers-
The Good: I ordered the Grilled chicken salad with Fat Free Dressing. I even ate the tomatoes because they were cut up too tiny to remove.
The Bad: Someone ordered Fried Pickles and I ate one with Ranch dressing…almost two, but I stopped myself.
The Ugly: I ate the garlicy, buttery toast that came with my salad. I couldn’t stop once I took a bite. Ha.

Work Out:
I had a minor toe surgery on Monday which bothered me enough that I could not work out until Thursday. I did go to Jazzercise once and then I swam 12 laps Sunday night. Brady’s schedule this week is baaaaaad for me to make regular classes, so last night I worked out in my parents “gym”. I have not done a stairmaster or stationary bike in so long. I was pretty bored honestly (even with TV on), but I am a different kind of sore today, so that is good.

Attitude:
I am getting more in a routine where this is just what I am doing. It is becoming more of habit rather than dread. I did have a meltdown Tuesday after I weighed in and lost NOTHING. I didn’t go over my points with WW, BUT I ate all the sodium I could find, I think. Immediately, I puffed up and felt terrible. Glad that is over with! Ha.

Weight Loss:
This week: 1 pound
Total: 6 Pounds
