Operation #165by26 Update & Non-Scale Victories

Operation #165by26 has certainly had its ups and downs and since I have been missing in action for an entire week I thought I should probably fill everybody in quickly.

Friday - Day 4

Saturday - Day 5

Sunday - Day 6

173.4 LBs is easily the lowest number I have seen on the scale in FOREVER. However, Days 1 - 6 had NOT been easy and I was beginning to get very tired and crabby. When my sister-in-law Lisa suggested we go to the local brunch buffet after church on Sunday I was all like Hell-to-the-Yes!

Monday's weight in was evidence of the waffle, ham and cheese omelet, and biscuit with sausage gravy I devoured the day before. Oh yes, let us not forget the pizza I had for supper too. I'm fairly certain a crazy women took over my body on Sunday!



Monday - Day 7

Sunday night we were hit by another mega snow storm and although I made it to work that morning I left at noon because it was blowing and drifting horribly.

What is a person to do with a toddler on a snow day? Make sugar cookies of course! I ate just a little cookie dough, shared half a warm cookie with Little Man, and had one after supper. In my head I was thinking they were probably 100-150 calories each. WRONG! When I sat down to watch The Biggest Loser I used MyFitnessPal's recipe calculator to figure it out the damage done and those suckers were 273 calories each!

Not proud to say I also made chili {not bad on its own} that night for supper and served it with sour cream, shredded cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches.

SNOW DAY = Giant Diet Fail!



Tuesday - Day 8

Tuesday, I dusted myself off and have been back at it ever since.



Monday - Day 9

We did celebrate and order food out last night but I had worked out and tracked all my stuff. Hence, no loss no gain and I will take that all day long!



Today - Day 10

If you are following along on my journey you know that marks 2 SOLID LBs lost for Operation #165by26. I know I could have done better in the last 10 days but I also have to realize I could have done much worse.

 

So I don't get down on myself, let's take a look at some of my Non-Scale Victories: 

• I tracked absolutely every single thing I have eaten in the last 10 days on MyFitnessPal.
• I stayed between 1200-1400 calories 7/10 days.
• I did 30 Day Shred 8/10 days and am catching up on the 2 workouts I missed.
• I made it to ZUMBA last night and last Wednesday night.

My SPECIAL areas of focus for next 10 days: 

• Continue to track everything on MyFitnessPal.
• Stay between 1200-1400 calories 8/10 days {I have a Bachelorette Party to attend this Saturday & the 31st is Easter}.
• Catch up on the 2 days of 30 Day Shred missed and complete the next 10 days of the program.
• Do Couch to 5K at least 5 times.
• Do ZUMBA at home at least 3 time {My DVDs should arrive today or tomorrow} and make it to class next Wednesday.

Now, just so there is a photo of something besides my feet in this post:
