So it's Sunday which means it's weigh in day my least favorite day of the week. After last night's slight panic attack I tried to go into my weigh in this morning feeling positive that even if I didn't lose anything I have still made progress this week and I am fitter than when I started.
If you don't remember last week I didn't lose anything and the weigh in before that I had gained 1.2 pounds taking me up to 261.2, so imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale and saw 250.8. I figured it must have been off balance or something so I checked it and stepped on it again, same number popped up. Still in disbelief that I could drop 10 pounds in one week I checked it one more time, you know that whole third time's a charm business, and still there is was 250.8. Holy Sh*t! was the only thing I could get out of my mouth. After 26 days, 52 workouts, and a week without carbs my metabolism has finally got the memo that I mean business...thank baby Jesus because there is no greater motivation than to see the numbers on a scale decrease.
I think it's safe to say that my body just doesn't do well with carbs. This coming week I am following the same diet and workout plan and we'll see where I end up next Sunday. Eventually the plan is to re-introduce small amounts of carbs back into my diet. Until then it's still 6 meals a day 4 of which are 5 oz of chicken and 1.5 cups of veggies, a morning protein shake, and my last meal of 8 egg whites.
This next week is also my last week here with my brother and his fiance. They have been such a huge support and motivators for me and I am a little nervous to go back to Iowa and continue on this journey as I've gotten use to them kicking my ass every day =) I also am due for my one month measurements next Sunday and progress picture as well and I am curious to see the results.
And for tonight, well tonight is leg day and I fully plan to rock it.
