My blog to weightloss: Day 23

Today was a long day at work. I was doing some back exercises the day before, which I moved up to 70 pounds and then I think I slept weird and THEN, I worked and literally stood in the same spot, leaned over in a weird position for almost 8 hours. I get off work, go weigh in which I can proudly say I lost an additional 5 pounds, so I'm down 15 pounds to date and then went to the grocery store. My legs ached so much and I hated that and wasn't quite sure why.

I was honestly surprised that I lost 5 pounds because I wasn't eating like I was or exercising like I was. I wasn't eating my 3 meals, 2 snacks a day and I had some days where I splurged. Also, I wasn't doing my cardio like I was at the gym, but moved to more muscle exercises. I don't know, but I'm not complaining at all. :)

For lunch, I didnt really have groceries to bring anything to work, so I brought 2 hot dogs on whole wheat hot dog buns and a strawberry yogurt.

I'm back on my diet and bought some good stuff at the grocery store. I actually looked on the back of almost everything and looked at the calories, sodium, and serving size and I put alot of stuff down and put it back up, and said NO!

I got these little Luigi frozen ice snacks, which are a good little snack with like 60 calories and hardly any sodium, for a good little fix. I am not a big sweets eater and I have wasted alot of sweets cause I get my fix and then I'm done and don't want anymore.

I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to eat some stuff that isn't the best for me, but if its something small and in moderation, then its going to be okay. I got some wheat bread and bologna (yes I like bologna) and then some Vegetable Thins to eat with them. I ate that for dinner and it was so yummy. I also have cut back on alot of sugary drinks and I noticed a big change just in that. Ive almost finished 2 32 packs of water in less than a month. I get some energy packets, which has 5 calories in it and then put it in there, about mid day and I'm good and its tasty. In fact I bought like a 20 pack for a couple of bucks at Walmart with mixed flavors and so I get surprised every time I grab one and go for the day.

I do need to start back on my workout and I want to go to Zumba more for my cardio.
