Day 11 TSFL

Well i did something I shouldn't have done.  I stepped on the scale first thing this morning and was pretty disappointed when I looked and saw I had gone from 158.8 to 158.4 since Monday. Considering I spent Tuesday mulching and yesterday doing weights I was really hoping to see more drastic results than that. But then again, that's why I'm not the most patient person... I have to remember to only weigh in once a week and any sort of decrease should be celebrated.  I do feel better and I do feel like I'm starting to look a little different as far as the weight loss goes.  Focusing on weight lifting will help me tone up more which would be nice overall. Chris says he can see a bit of a difference too which is very encouraging.  

They say doing TSFL you should lose 5-7 pounds for the first two weeks and then 1-2 afterwards.  I think I'm probably entering the 1-2 phase which means I should really try to step up my exercise.  I didn't feel too hungry and since I was already fairly active before I don't think I need to wait until week 3 to start really trying to get in a good workout. I'm still going to somewhat take it easy initially. Today is going to be hard to sneak in a workout because I'm on the radio while at the Rec Center. That means I have to find someone to cover it for me while I work out and there's s giant administrative meeting occurring today for all directors... Oh well.  My hopes was to be down to 155 by Katy's wedding which is August 10th.  I felt like losing 10lbs wasn't too incredibly drastic of a goal to try to reach.  So, I have 3.2 lbs to lose in 9 days or so... 

The only thing I can think of that I might not be doing or as strict on is drinking water while I'm at work. When I'm home it's a lot easier for me to remember to keep drinking water throughout the day but while at work I get very distracted.  I still drink a lot more than I used to but maybe that's impacting how my body is interacting and not helping me lose the weight as effectively?  Unsure.  

As mentioned I work a late night tonight 12p-9p so I'm bringing all of my meals with me.  I think I'm definitely going to be sticking to the grab an go snacks from now on since that's more my lifestyle then sit down and microwave something.
