Pushing towards the goal
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to meet with my trainer last week; however, I did push myself to get more workouts in my schedule. I also lost another couple of pounds, although, I won't be able to report it until later this week.
I have been pushing myself to step up dieting and exercising so that I can reach my goal weight. I want to achieve despite my everyday work schedule getting in the way. I am excited to say that I have been very good this week but at the same time I am very scared. I have been resisting temptation so much that I feel like I am going to burst at any second and eat everything in sight. I've already done that and it didn't work so I am trying a new approach.
For the last couple of weeks I have been giving myself a goal and if I don't reach it then I have to workout twice as long and if I do I reward myself by indulging in something I like to eat but only for one night and then I am back on the plan. Plenty of fruits and veggies for me. Because of the latest scare with spinach I've steered clear of it but it's one of my favorite vegetables. I ventured out and bought some this past weekend and ate it as a salad and it was wonderful.
I have also been trying to add more protein to my diet such as boiled eggs and more fish and poultry because I rarely eat beef and I don't eat pork. I didn't do well with the "boiling the egg" concept though. I believe I may have over-boiled them because I was disgusted when I tried to eat one and I usually like boiled eggs. I think I will stick with turkey bacon or something to that liking.
Oh yeah, I also increased my cardio at the gym. I need to add more weights because the last time I was measured I seemed to be losing muscle mass instead of gaining and we don't want that.
