Good week
Well I can say this past one was great actually! I stayed on track diet wise and made up for last weekend’s indulgence at the Olive Garden’s unlimited pasta extravaganza going on right now. I actually could only eat 1 medium bowl of it and only tried out 1 new kind of sauce because I filled up on breadsticks before it came out 
So I felt super guilty at the start of this past week, sure I was gonna be playing catch up all week trying to re-lose what I had already lost, but after Sunday and Monday’s healthy diet days, my body got right back into the losing weight mode and I think the zig zag (higher calories then lower calories) actually worked for me in getting the metabolism a little confused so when I ate healthy all week, it burned faster. I still haven’t weighed myself as the gym scale is still broke…they say it will be fixed by next week. But my clothes are getting looser, so I’m sure I did lose some.
The bad news is I was able to stay on the healthy diet track all week because I stayed away from my diet sabotaging, waistline- suicide friend who at this point has zero interest in anything healthy for her. She eats fast food daily, smokes and drinks and I am hoping that when I am successful with my weight loss goals she will be motivated to get healthier habits herself. SO that is another one of my reasons for doing this, to make someone who has never been health-conscious change their ways when they see how AWESOME I turn out!
I skipped lifting weights all week for running, so I took Friday off then today, I did a little mixed upper body workout to wake up the muscle that just had a week long vacation. It feels good and my arms are sore already. I ran half as much as I usually do, just did 2 miles because I was feeling tired. I might run another 2 before the end of the day though.
And the best part about this week???…today I noticed a little muscle tone in my arms in the mirror when I was doing a dumbell shoulder press that definitely wasn’t there before!!! I am so excited and proud to see my hard work starting to show!!!!!
