170's that is. This morning I weighed in at 178.4! I know I won't be seeing such dramatic results as I continue forward, but that was a great way to jump start my refocused commitment to get healthy. Most of that was water weight -- from eating poorly, and from PMS. Still though, I'm pretty sure I lost at least 2 lbs of actual weight.
With that great momentum, I was determined to make good choices today. I woke up and had a slice of multi-grain toast with Greek cream cheese, then went to my workout. Today was strength training and kick boxing. For lunch I made a giant salad with butter lettuce, sliced strawberries, chopped apple, raspberries, and a little bit of poppy seed dressing. It was so big, I actually got full -- really full -- and almost couldn't finish. And it only had 200 calories! Talk about a healthy choice! Just what I was craving after all the sweets and carbs this weekend. I had half a bag of popcorn and some mozzarella as snacks during the afternoon. For dinner I had a chicken burger, which was amazing (thanks to my hubby, who's so good at grilling up meat). And I had a popsicle in the evening.
I did day 7 of my challenges: 25 triceps dips, 40 sit ups, 20 crunches, 20 leg raises, and a 30-second plank. The numbers are climbing so quickly, and every day I want to wimp out, but hopefully I can stick with it all month.
