Sorry for the lack of updating; that tends to happen when you're not doing so well (or have the perception of not doing so well). Let's get you all caught up.
Day 8
Rest day! I wasn't a complete bum like I thought I would be, I danced around a little bit, but nothing I would call "exercise." Food-wise, I did okay. I stayed right at my calorie budget, but I ate a lot of carbs. Bleh. This was the last day I tracked calories.
Day 9
Weigh-in day, oh noes! I had been up all night when I stepped on the scale, and when I made my video with my body shot I had been up for over 24 hours. I need to sleep more. So, my weight was 340.6 and that is a loss of 2.4 lbs. I was hoping for at least 3, especially after working out for 7 consecutive days and cutting out 250-500 calories worth of soda. Honestly, I was really disappointed by such a low loss. That's probably why I didn't exercise.... :/
Day 10
Again, no exercise, but the number on the scale is steadily going down. The sleeping thing is still not great. I slept in until 3:00pm. I ate an apple and had chicken for dinner. That counts as low-carb, right? lol I wasn't really hungry that day. I had a Coke! I actually had 2.... It didn't taste as good as it use to or as I was imagining it would, and it made me feel sick afterwards. The reason I had 2 cans was because I was trying to make myself like it again. Why? I have no idea! I usually don't eat much when I drink soda too, it gives me energy and calories so I'm usually all set to go without food. However, I don't like the taste anymore and it makes my tummy very unhappy. I didn't think I would actually make it to that point, and now I doubt I'll be drinking it anymore. Yay!
Day 11
I feel so much better when I'm not counting calories. I kind of keep track of what I'm eating in my head and am choosing lower calorie stuff. I've actually not been that hungry these past few days. I'm also not working out. Oh, and I think not having a soda craving is helping too. I really think that's why I was eating so many carbs. But...I am drinking a lot more juice. By the way, the water intake has not been so good, maybe half of what I should be drinking. I'll work on that when I get this sleep thing back on track.
Day 12
It's almost 10am, and I've been up since 3pm yesterday. Not good! So I'm posting this early because I'm going to try napping enough to get me through the day and hopefully go to bed at a normal time tonight. The scale is making me very happy, and this morning I was so motivated to get back to my workouts. It's just hard right now being all sleep deprived and crap. But I promise that I will do something active today! I want to keep seeing that number go down.
I need to say one more thing before I stop rambling. The comments people have been leaving on my video for Week #1 are amazing, absolutely amazing! They're so sincere and so sweet. I can really feel the love from everyone and it seriously brought tears to my eyes to know that people actually care and understand. I love you guys! Here's to a fat kicking week. :D
