Numbers are not as important as how you feel! Keep Going!

     Tomorrow is weigh in and measurements. I have to be honest- I do get on the scale every day. Last week when I weighed in I was 199.6 and so happy to finally be under 200 lbs. Last weigh in was the last time I have seen the scale under 200 lbs. I have stayed between 200-204 lbs everyday since then. I don't feel too bad about it. I have not cheated on my diet plan, I have continued to avoid diet soda, I take the stairs at work, and I exercise 5 days/week.  I have noticed that my clothes are fitting better and I generally feel better. I still continue to sleep better and I have more energy than I did before I started eating right and exercising regularly. It's just a mental thing, I really want to see the scale go down. WAY DOWN.
     My husband told me that I am building muscles and muscles store more water. He stated that I looked like I was losing weight to him. So that makes me happy.
  
     I did not post last night. Last night we went to a cuban cafe for dinner. I had a large house salad with their house vinegarette and a grilled chicken breast topped with onions and water to drink. My husband also shared one of his maduros with me ;-). I took yesterday off from exercising. I was exhausted from working the night before.

Today I ate:

Breakfast- oatmeal with raisins and almond butter and a cup of skim milk
Snack- An avocado with lime juice and adobo seasoning
Lunch- Subway- 6 inch cold cut combo on wheat, NO cheese, spinach, cucumbers, green peppers, tomatoes, black olives, banana peppers, oil and vinegar, Baked BBQ Lays chips, 1/2 light lemonade and 1/2 water to drink (We walked there- I jogged a majority of the way there)
Dinner- We are planning on tuna salad pitas with side salads

Here is a picture of me jogging today (Proof!) My husband snapped it on our trip to subway today.

 

Today is so nice out. We are headed out to do a little shopping now. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Check back tomorrow for my stats.

 

Thanks for checking in!!
