Week 4 was a total bomb. Choco Challenge 5!

Week 4 Results:

I was sick this week. Let me tell you, I was truly hoping it wasn't. I was averaging 15k steps a day until I caught the bug my husband so lovingly BREATHED ON ME! I am now down to an average of 8k steps. It's still better than most humans who don't even walk 5k steps, but I'm trying to lose weight here HUSBAND! I can't afford to have your crappity™ illness.

 

I didn't get into the plank position more than a few times and when I did. Oh, do I need some core work! I'm so jealous of someone who can do a single full on push up because it's a true feat of strength.

 

I did manage to get Chip's Challenge done! I measured everything from the neck down whether I enjoyed the process or not. I still can't believe some of the results because I suppose, even though when I look at my entire body, I think I'm fat, somewhere in my head I think I can't be THAT fat.

Again, I expected to lose nothing. I was pleasantly surprised that I ended up with 166.2. A complete .6 pound loss from last week. I have 2.2 pounds left to meet my "Lose 20 pounds" goal.


Week 5 Challenge:

After the week that Chip and I just had, I'm going soft. It's been rough for both of us. I know we've both wanted to quit and never make another good decision again. We need to forgive ourselves of last week and be patient with the process. This week's challenge is to love yourself. Each day we will make one great decision. Whether it's choosing an apple over potato chips or even if it's choosing 15 minutes of exercise over nothing. We need to write down the good choices we make and report on them next Saturday.

I know I don't always notice when my hand goes to the better for me food choice. I only notice when I have the big piece of cake. Even though I have food logging, I don't recognize these victories for what they are.
