Staying Accountable #Mamavation #iHeartOmron {Week 5}

Last week was my birthday, so my parents brought pizza over for dinner.  It was delicious and I ate WAY too much.  My friends threw me an “un-surprise” party Saturday evening.  We had a taco salad bar with rice and beans.  I ate a taco salad and rice, but I didn’t eat the tortillas!  The food was fantastic and the fellowship was spectacular!

Now we are onto a new week and I am working on getting back on track!  Dinners are planned for the week, lunch salads are prepped for the week, and I am ready to rock the last 9 days of this #iHeartOmron challenge!

Some things that worked for me:

• Having lunches prepped and dinners planned out for the week.
• Making my grocery list next to my dinner menu.  Then sticking to the list while grocery shopping.

Some things I need to get better at: 

• Getting all my steps in.  My goal is 10K steps EVERY day.  Actually, I’d like to hit 15K per day eventually.
• Eating less carbs.  They are my weakness.  This week was better than last, but I still need to work on this.

This week’s numbers (with the help of my husband):

• Application Weight (this was December, I believe) – 219
• Weight – 214.6
• Waist – 45
• Hips – 45 1/4
• Arms – 17 (L), 16 1/2 (R)
• Thighs – 26.5 (L), 28.5 (R)
• Chest – 38.5
• Bust – 45

Total weight loss (SO FAR): 4.4 lbs.

I can finally see a difference when I look in the mirror!  Mostly in my mid-section, but I can see it!!
