After a rough week last week, I had a MUCH better time this week. I felt so miserable and I am still not 100% sure what was causing it—but I have a few ideas. I started questioning my diet and decided to make some changes.
I recently announced that I was following the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle and that I had learned a lot about nutrition from the program—and I have. But I’m not sure my body loves every aspect of the program, or at least how I was following the program.
This past week, I decided to go out on a limb and trust myself to eat my way—based on principles I learned by following Trim Healthy Mama and Weight Watchers. With the way I was feeling, I just had this intuition that the way I was eating wasn’t doing my body good. So I listened to my body this past week and I feel 100% better.
I really, really, really like not having to track ANYTHING on Trim Healthy Mama and so I have been continuing that while I eat in my own style. It makes me really nervous. I have to stay very mindful. When I go to the kitchen for a snack, I have to ask myself if I’m eating the right serving size for how hungry I am, am I choosing a food that is good for me, etc. Is this something I can keep up? I hope so—but it does scare me! My weight loss will tell—I can always re-evaluate and count calories or something as neede.
And the results? I lost exactly the weight that I gained the previous week—so this week I lost 1.3 lbs. for a total loss of 3.4 lbs. I’m happy with that because I’m still averaging over 1 lb. per week. The goal is to lose an average of 1 lb. per week
What I did well this week: I am the most proud of meeting my workout goal this week. I’m making small steps to hopefully make exercise a regular part of my week.
What I could improve on: Eat more veggies. Sometimes when baby is fussy, I quickly throw together a lunch I can eat quickly and don’t take the time to add a veggie.
On another note, I want to thank those of you who take the time to leave a comment now and again—they’re really appreciated and help inspire me to keep blogging!
