If you have ever watched the show you will know that this is set back week. The week where you don't lose weight or where you injure yourself. Like I said this was week two for me as well, and yep it was set back week for me too.
I knew this would be a busy week. I obviously wanted to spend as much as time as possible with Mallory before she headed back to school. This included some shopping and lunches out, something I don't do much otherwise. I tried to make healthy choices, but who knew that zucchini cake minis at Ruby Tuesday's were 824 calories each (I had two) and had 2,240 mg of sodium. Next time I am sticking to just the Garden Bar.
Mallory, the dogs and I did get out for some hikes at Riley Trails and I still managed to walk at least 60 minutes a day. I some how managed to pull a muscle in my leg at my new yoga class, so that is kind of annoying. But I am pushing ahead and working through the pain.
It is a new week with new chances to make better eating choices and with a little ice and rest the leg will heal.
SELF-PORTRAITS OF THE WEEK
This week's theme was AT ARM'S LENGTH
Listed below are summaries for the week of areas involved in my journey this year.
WEIGHT
This week I gained: 2 lbs.
Total weight loss so far: 1 lb.
EXERCISE
Yoga class resumed this week. I take a Beginner's Yoga class on Tuesday nights, I could easily do harder than beginner, but I love the time of this class and I have some wonderful friends in this class. I added a new yoga class on Thursday nights called Core and Calm. Class description - Core yoga to stabilize and strengthen your power center: abs, glutes, lower back and diaphragm. Great class and it is obviously working muscles I haven't used in a while :)
Minutes walked/hiked this week = 579 minutes
Food
My favorite new recipe this week was Baked Portobello Parmesan. One Portobello Mushroom cap was very filling. Get the recipe here at a new food blog that I discovered One Perfect Bite.
Have a great week. I look forward to sharing my Journey :)
It sounds like you're doing very well on your health journey...we all have days when we deserve a little splurge. I actually think an occasional splurge helps keep us on track...I admire your determination!
ReplyDeleteSarah, sounds like you are moving in the right direction. Yoga is so awesome.I've been having a tough time getting back into the healthy routine after the holidays. Kids home sick, husband traveling and extra jewelry work. But, tomorrow is a new day! Going to start off the day with a walk. Hopefully! Just saw a weather alert, possible freezing rain! OK, so there is always the afternoon to walk, right? Keep on going on your healthy path :)
ReplyDeleteyou win some, you lose some, huh? Losing weight - it's a tough assignment for sure!
