Weigh In: Engaged and Celebrating

It feels like so much has changed since my weigh in last week where I was writing about the end of the road trip. Since then I’ve gotten engaged, partied with my friends, celebrated with everyone I know (at least online), and had an awesome week. It feels like it’s been one big party. That’s how it should be.

But how does day after day of celebrating affect my ongoing weight loss? Well, see for yourself how I did:

Weight In:

Current Weight: 209.0 lbs
Previous Weight: 210.6 lbs
Weight loss: -1.6 lbs
Weight loss Total: – 42 lbs
Starting Weight: 251

Last week’s goals:

1. Workout three times.  – Done. Only once where it was a formal workout (30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels), but they were done. Hurray exercise!
2. Drink enough water each day. – Competed on most days, but a few I could have drank more. This is always something that I need to work on. I need massive amounts of water (more than average) so it’s easy to not drink enough.
3. Avoid the massive amount of bread we have in this house. – Done! Easily! Somehow I didn’t eat that much bread. I think mostly because Kepa and my brothers ate it all before I could and I refused to eat white bread unless it’s French Toast.
4. Eat more veggies and fruits. (easy since non were consumed lately) – Done!  Not that it was hard since last week I ate zero veggies. I ate a lot of good things this week – sweet potatoes, lots of broccoli, lots of fruit. YUM.

This week’s goals:

1. Workout 3 times.
2. Drink enough water each day! Important!
3. Enjoy the last week with Kepa in the USA! :)

Thoughts:

This week went really well considering! I’ve seriously been out to eat so much and not cooked at home nearly as much as I was hoping for. It’s all been really fun, but once again I’m ready to cut out the eating out and cook things ourselves. This is Kepa’s last week in the USA so I’m hoping we can make him a few yummy home cooked meals instead of eating out every night.

I haven’t been food blogging the last few days because I haven’t had time and that’s been bothering me. I have still been taking photos and looking at them for my own benefit, but I realize now I get more out of it when I blog because I spend the time really thinking about and analyzing the thoughts behind why I was eating about how I was enjoying it (or not). Cutting out that process because I don’t have time for it has made me pretty sad!

This week is going to be awesome. Since Kepa and I won’t be in the states again until next year for our wedding we are going to go register! That will be really fun and I can’t wait to do that because it’s fun to imagine what our life will be like in a year when we get married and move out on our own. We will be starting with basically nothing except what our loving friends and family get us. It’s a strange concept since I’d happily go with nothing as long as I have Kepa. ;) I mean, I’m moving to New Zealand in a few weeks with basically just my clothes, computer, and camera. It’s strange to imagine having all the stuff you need to live. I’m particularly excited about all the kitchen stuff. I’ve never had my own kitchen or kitchen supplies but I love cooking now so I’m excited about that. I’ll try not to just register for those things though. ;)

Other than that the next week is wide open! We are going to a few more of my favorite places in Memphis and the time will fly by! Then Kepa will leave and I’ll follow a week later. It’s going to be a crazy (and fast) two weeks. But I know it will be fun!
