I actually had a pretty good week this week despite what the scale said this morning. Yesterday I weighed in a pound lighter, unfortunately I think what put me back up to 277 for today was dinner last night at Olive Garden. While I certainly did not pig out (left food on my plate, etc), there is no doubt in my mind that the pasta kind of weighed me down. While I am better when I go out to restaurants now I am no where near the best, and where I need to be. I had the salad laden with dressing, I had the breadsticks, I had two beers and I had a pretty big portion of pasta, even if I did not eat it all. I need to start thinking about a better strategy when it comes to dining out, since I do it a lot.
Things I did well this week:
- Completed week two of the one hundred pushups challenge.
- Ran a total of 6.1 miles, which is the second most for me since December.
- Had very good eating days almost every day, until dinner.
- Took the time to visit and comment on a lot of other weight loss blogs.
Things I did not so well this week:
- Only did strength training one day.
- While I did run 6.1 miles, that was only 2 sessions – need it to be more regular
- Too much Olive Garden.
- Not enough water.
- Too much nighttime binging
I didn't have any excuses this week and while the results were not exactly as I wanted, I am happy with the effort I put in. In business, results get rewarded, not effort. But in weight loss it's the effort I'm looking for. The results will come as long as I put the effort in.
I'll be putting even more effort in this week.
