19 pounds in 95 days. :)

-1.6 pounds!

I've been craving a lot of fish lately.  I meant to look up what it is that I'm craving from it.  Omega 3's?  Haha.

Okay Ryan, if you say so!

This week I was also hungry more often. I know that sounds weird, but I would get home from work at 3 and be STARVING.  I definitely came right up to my calorie threshold (1,750) this week, and went over a couple of days today.  But I think for me, the extra calories have actually been yielding bigger loss numbers the past 2 weeks.  (The whole, eating enough to fuel your body and burn vs. going into starvation mode.)  I feel like my milk supply has been slightly elevated as well.

I was considering upping my calories threshold, but I figure I'll leave it where it is, and if I go over a bit, I won't beat myself up to much about it.  I don't want to tweak my routine too much--if it isn't broken, don't try and fix it.  :D

As soon as school is out, I'm going to start a 21 Day Fit routine.  I'll have exactly enough time to finish it before we head home for vacation.  I'll have zero excuses not to complete it all the way through with no breaks, so I'm going to do it!


4 days of school left.  24 days until I go home! :)

See you next week!

Current weight: 176 lbs.

TWO!

-2 POUNDS!

I'm not going to lie, I do not feel like I earned that 2 pounds AT ALL.  I thought the scale was broken.  I weighed myself like...5 times.  Called Justin into the bathroom to weigh himself to shake up the scale a little bit.  Haha.

I was fighting a cold ALL week.  Started on Sunday morning, and I'm still sniffling and a little achy.  I told my body that I don't have time to be sick right now.  Too much to do!  So I pushed on through work.  Unfortunately I gave whatever I have to Adalei too, so now she's cranky and sniffly too.  Boo.

Continued to walk this week.  No workout videos.  I keep telling myself when school is out I'll hit them again full force.

I've been reading a lot lately on the science of weight loss.  A study came out last week about the participants of The Biggest Loser.  I think it's not that shocking to find out that a lot of them have gained some or all of the weight back--when you losing all your weight in a controlled setting, it's hard to do that on your own when you're reintroduced to the real world.  What IS fascinating is that 8 years after the show ended, these participants metabolisms never recovered.  They still burn calories at a slower rate than they did BEFORE they lost all their weight.  So now they're super heavy again, and are having an impossible time keeping the weight off.  Not only did I feel sad for these people (because I watch the show and find it very inspiring), but it just shows how we still have so much to learn about our bodies and weight loss.
