8 Months to a Better Me: Week 20

Well I knew I did well last week, but really wasn't expecting the scale to be that exciting this morning. However, I now only have 3.5 pounds to go to my September 15 goal. I was 123.5 this morning! Looking back though, I was incredibly good with eating and had very little dessert and only had one bad drink this weekend. I know that was because we ran out of Pepsi yesterday so I let Derek have the last one, but still, it's a good thing. I've decided to stop drinking the carmel mochas though. The lack of caffeine during the regular week and then the huge dose on Saturday really did me in. So, I'll stick with caffeine free drinks or just drink Pepsi during the weekends instead since that has far less caffeine. Here's my recap:

Monday: Zumba Cardio for 20 minutes and 2 mile walk

Tuesday: Two 2 mile walks

Wednesday: 2 mile walk

Thursday: 2 mile walk

Friday: 2 mile walk

Saturday: 2 mile walk

Sunday: 2 mile walk

(Crazy that I walked 16 miles last week!)

100 squats 6x last week

Drank average of 48oz water each day

I don't think I've worked out each day since I first started doing this. We have had such amazing weather though, that it would just be a waste of a day not to get out and enjoy it. Derek jogs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; so on those days I'm planning on doing my other workouts like the Zumba and Yoga/toning exercises since we walk while he jogs in the evening. Then I'll still walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This coming weekend I'm going to a baby shower and then we'll have Lexi's party, but I don't think that'll throw me too far off track.

Next time we go shopping, probably sometime this week, we're going to be starting a new diet called Nutritionist Pro. We'll be doing more protein for breakfast, or at least Derek will since I'd prefer cereal or a breakfast shake over eggs, then carbohydrates for lunch with a sandwich, then chicken for dinner during the weekdays and beef during the weekends. We'll have two or three small snacks a day, like protein bars, fruits and vegetables. We think this will help us stay healthy too and Lexi will be able to eat those things with us for the most past. We'll see what I have to report next week.
