Week 2 - Atlanta Corporate Fight Night

Week one ended with me dropping 4.5 lbs, but only following Terri's prescribed eating plan for the last 4 days of the week. I just realized she has me on a gluten and wheat free diet. I'm really curious to see where my weight sits on Thurs morning because that will be a full week of eating this way. I am feeling stronger and I truly believe this is a sign of toxins leaving my body.

Had an interesting learning experience yesterday. I took my typical Sunday bike ride, rode out 15 miles and on my way back was roughly 6 miles from the end and bonked. I had some energy beans in my bag but I decided not to eat them as they are 100% sugar. I had nuts and a banana waiting for me at the end so I rode on, completely on empty. When I got up this morning I truly expected to see the scale move down but it was exactly where it had been yesterday morning. Interesting. Did I not drink enough? Probably... And does that hinder weight loss? Probably because I was clearly at a calorie deficit. But here is the learning moment. I wasn't upset at what the scale told me because I knew I did everything right yesterday, except to perhaps not get quite enough water. So there was no kicking myself, beating myself up, and turning to food because lord knows that's not the answer! Getting there.....baby steps. My friends at H3I will be happy to read this : )

And can I just say that sitting through Eat Pray Love last night with only an apple to gnaw on and a huge bottle of water to drink was torture. Pasta has never looked so good.

Today begins week two of training camp along with week one of the new job. Should be interesting!
