Another week down! Week 5 seemed to be an incredibly busy week for me. I traveled for work to Sarasota on Monday/Tuesday for agency meetings and then Wednesday through Friday to Orlando for a convention and then had a pretty busy weekend as well. We had a few days of really crappy Florida weather as well this week.
When we arrived in Orlando, there were tornadoes, super high winds, chairs on the pool deck blown over on top of each other, just a big mess...and don't you know it was as soon as we got out of the car to get into our room!
I don't think I ate more than two meals at home last week, including breakfasts. Dinner out each night, lunch as well. That used to be enough to freak me out regarding having to stand on a scale on Monday mornings, but really, while at times the choices were a little boring, it was easy to stay on track with the food plan this week.
My struggle this week with the travel and work commitments was more on exercise and drinking the water. I didn't make it to the gym all week, didn't do anything while traveling, the weather was awful until our last day in Orlando, and then the weekend was full of beautiful weather and lots of time outside enjoying it, but no exercise...ooops!
It's difficult to drink the water when I am working some days. Sometimes it's super easy and I'm thirsty all day and that makes it easy to drink but sometimes I just kind of forget to drink it. I know that probably doesn't make sense but I get busy doing other things and forget about the water. I've never been good at just drinking water. I'm not a big fan of water, it's rather boring. I know it has a ton of benefits, but it's just blah! I'm on a mission this week to finish the water every day, though! We'll see how that works!
I'm happy to say that even eating out every meal for the week, this morning's weigh in showed a 2.8 pound loss, for a total of 22.6 in the five weeks. I also managed a body fat loss of 1.2%. Completely not sure how that happened, but I'll take it!
I'm happy with the progress, and know that "round 2" has been so different than the first time through the program. I'm committed to keeping up with maintenance one I hit the goal this time and I know my support system will help me to make that happen!
So, off to drink the last of the water for today...have a great week, everyone!
