Okay, so I apparently lost a week! Actually....last week was Week 5 and sadly, I did not go to the gym 1 time....I felt so guilty! But Auntie Flo came to visit and boy was I exhausted...not to mention crabby, bloated, crampy, emotional---that was one hell of a visit! They seem to get worse with age these little visits and I'm not liking it one bit. So, to make myself feel better I bought myself Godiva Chocolates--my ultimate indulgence! The Grand Truffle is my new fav---YUM! It's so yummy it is orgasmic! Seriously, ladies you must try it when you are feeling down in the dumpers because it is an instant fix!
So fast forward to Week 6: down 3 more pounds! WOOT WOOT! Total weight loss since January 1st is 13 lbs! Not bad for 4 weeks of hard work and 1 week of a depress fest---LOL! Got back in the gym today and did some strength training and then hopped on the stair climber for 25 minutes--without stopping! I haven't tried that in years but I needed to jump in to this whole work out thing and get things moving with something different so I thought, what the hell--let's go for it and see if I can do at least 10 minutes. I surprised even myself and if it wasn't for my right toes going completely numb, I would have stayed on another 10 minutes! I have new tennis shoes Sarah, so no scolding! I think maybe it might be time to seek medical advice--at least that of a podiatrist. But that was one heck of a work out--1.65 miles in 25 minutes and about 250 calories burned--according to the machine. I then came home and had spicy buffalo chicken lettuce wraps: 1 cup chopped baked boneless skinless chicken breasts, drizzle with Frank's Red Hot sauce, 1 tablespoon low fat sour cream, salt/pepper to taste and chopped 1 cheese stick. Scoop into head lettuce leaves for that nice crunch! YUM
