Week 14 Scorecard
I literally went to bed Sunday night praying that I hadn't actually put on the 10 pounds it felt like I'd gained over the Easter weekend. Chocolate candy, peach cobbler, French bread...even though I knew the sweet potatoes and roasted vegetables were WAY better than mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, I felt huge. I also hadn't worked out since Thursday, so I expected the worst.
Monday I was determined to eat the best I could and definitely get all my water in to wash out the toxins. We had leftover roasted vegetables, and I stayed away from meat until I had some turkey in my dinner salad. There may or may not have been a couple of jalepeno poppers during the day, but that was just so they wouldn't go bad. Really. That's why.
Then I completely lost track of time Monday evening. Went to the chiropractor, got to talking to the hubby...next thing I knew it was 6:45 and I hadn't gotten in a workout yet! And I was hungry! I know I can't eat before I workout, but this wasn't going to go well. I ate about a cup of the roasted vegetables just to get something light on my stomach, and headed up to the gym.
In case you were curious, here's where the magic happens. I probably should have cleaned up the crap before taking a picture.
Back to the scorecard...I got my 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical, and burned about 600 calories. It was late, so I just had a big salad afterward.
Result? I did not gain 10 pounds. In fact, I lost another pound! Total 16.3. I'm still staying above the pound a week average, but not by much...
I'm considering a major change in the coming weeks, but that's for another post.
Have a great day!

| The TV died in an electrical storm, and won't get cable/satellite. But we were able to hook it to the XBox so I can use that to get Netflix, use Kinect for games, etc. |

| Apparently the elliptical wasn't enough torture for me. We added the stationary bike last month. My eventual goal is to get a spin class online and see if I can do it. For now, I just do 15-20 minutes, trying to increase the resistance as I go.
