San Francisco and 4 pounds gained !?

I was feeling so proud and looking so thin but then went on a trip to San Francisco (and took a great photo!)  and then came back and the next day woke up 4 pounds heavier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is it even possible to gain 4 pounds in one day???  without eating ice cream???

I don't even know.

I ate one small piece of pizza but that's the only "bad" thing i ate.  I did notice that i was very hungry for a couple of hours, which i have heard can put the body into "starvation mode"...  i know my body doesn't respond well to being hungry.

well i guess from now on i have to keep snacks in the car.  i should have eaten some of the multi vitamins in the car... that would have helped.  i keep chewey multi vitamins in the car.  i drank a bunch of water.  but i will buy some snack bars to keep in there, in the trunk, for emergencies.

as for the 4 pounds, i will keep exercising 2 times a day at the gym, and eating healthy food.

no eating out, and heating lots of fruits veggies healthy proteins and whole grains.

148

At the doctors office style scale at the gym! !!

Beet Smoothies

I used to sweeten my smoothies with honey, which I read that when you buy it at safeway is actually just mostly corn syrup.  so now i bought a big package of beets and i am putting one into each smoothie and sweetening them that way.  it's much healthier, has fiber and lots of nutrients.

148!

my goal is 145 so super stoked to be only 3 pounds away.  i can see the changes in my body that i like and see it thinner.  i have more energy to get things done (although i do feel more sore from exercising) but i notice if i drink more water the soreness goes away.

i feel more confident being thinner.

i really appreciate your dedication to your health it is motivating me too.  thanks and let's keep it up!

Today

Ate pork 2 days in a row.   Maybe feeling like I need some because of my period.  
I want to get back to zumba today.

And be eating healthy.

Today

Weighed myself at the gym 161 ten pounds heavier than at home! !  You should weigh less so you are motivated.  And I hate that gym because the women in the locker room are all hot. .. Well that's not really true.  I need to keep a positive attitude and stay motivated.

True for everything in life.

going to go to a zumba class today at 4:30.  ate a can of pureed pumpkin for lunch, and a chicken kebab.  i think the organic canned pumpkin at trader joes is pretty healthy and a cheap addition to a healthy meal plan.

maybe i will try and lift some weights afterwards if i'm not too tired.  or just do half the class and do some weight lifting too.  but the yoga is strength training in itself.

Going to do some mediation.

Lower cortisol helps with weight loss.

today

went for a short walk with baci.  now i'm cleaning the house, feel healthier & more inspired with a clean house.  thinking about getting certified as a yoga instructor?  catching up on my sleep finally.  today i want to eat healthy no sugar the rest of the day...  and stay calm and relaxed maybe do some meditation.
