Weeks Seven.....and Eight....

Well! Here it is! The whole part of this that's supposed to separate it from every other weight loss or diet blog, REALITY!!! The last two weeks were a ton of fun for my gluttonous side but not so great for my mission! Graduation season hit and, boy, was it a doozie! This weeks goal, back on track, for REAL! 

So I'll start with the good stuff for week seven, weighed in Sunday at 202. That's a total loss of one whole pound all week despite the clean diet and active days, this was a tad bit discouraging after I had exercised a vast amount of control in a boss kind of way at my little brothers high school grad party....munched on veggies and cast out ideas of ruffles and other chemical filled crap. I did, however, indulge in a piece of cake and a few drinks which I'm sure didn't help my fat busting body do its thang. Sad thing is I stood on the scale Sunday and it just destroyed my willpower for the week...never should have stood on that DAMN SCALE! In the wee hours of the morning, after a very tiny amount of sleep following those festivities, we headed to Oregon for my cousins high school grad. 

Pitfall número UNO: BK on the way 

So lack of planning combined with poor packing lead to little to no option as far as eating went for me on the road trip. Pretty much it went like this: 

grandma: you need to eat 

me: I don't eat processed crap 

grandma: well, you won't have another chance till at least four

....crap. 

Hello Whopper! And four fries...no chemical sludge though, go me!

Anyhow, wish that was my only confession but the rest of the week, to Saturday, was pretty much a free for all but still controlled in amounts.

I did strength training today but did not during most the mishap week though we were pretty active and were very much out and about, so to say. 

Tomorrow: back to no processed food! Back to cardio and strength! 

I looked at my progress charts on My Fitness Pal (great app, totally recommend this!!! And my user name is karenlobato) and I found I've only lost five pounds all month so it's time to hit it! 

So that explains where I've been. At first I was a little ashamed and afraid to post because I have people watching and following along but then I realized, hey, this is what it's all about! This is my journey! And I'll be damned if I let one whopper and a week of chips and ice cream keep me fat and unhappy for life! Here's to breaking 200 this week! Celebration to come!!!

Weigh in Sunday: 201

Down a pound!
