Weekly Check In-Week 1 back OP
Weigh in this morning gave a result of 3.5 lbs. lost. I managed to exercise every day last week, for a total of 38 APs. I ate outside of my meal plan twice. The first was on New Year’s Eve, which also happens to be my birthday. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for chili rellenos (which I had planned for), but I ate way too many tortilla chips. Later that night, at the in-law’s house, I filled my plate with veggies and turkey. That was fine, but then I succumbed to the temptation of the barbecue hot dogs and ate the equivalent of about 3 hot dogs in barbecue sauce. The second was on the 3rd of January, when DW and I went out to her favorite Mexican restaurant. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, which was in my plan, but instead of eating 2 of them as I had planned, I had three, plus a whole bunch of tortilla chips. Tortilla chips are apparently a trigger food for me, and I’m going to have to surrender them if I want to lose weight and keep it off.
Other than that, it’s been a really good week back on program. I feel much better physically, and empowered over my food choices.
