Hubby made such a delicious dinner again last night, but I had it under control this time. As much as I wanted to get seconds I didn't. I reminded myself about how uncomfortable I was after eating too much the night before. I also packaged up some of the left overs to take for lunch for today. It gave me something to look forward to instead of focusing on wanting more of the delicious flavors on my tongue last night.
I didn't get up and do my exercises this morning. I really needed the rest more than the workout this time. Plus, this is the first day I've taken off from the exercises since I started this about a week and a half ago. I have felt a little sluggish today because I didn't have that energy boost this morning that my workout gives me, so I stepped away from my desk for a few moments, hopped on the treadmill here at work, and feeling ready to face the rest of my day now. I know, I know, what happened to taking the day off? I guess I couldn't completely take it off, but a little walking/jogging on the treadmill for 15 minutes isn't as intense as the hour long workout I normally do in the mornings (and still do the treadmill in the afternoon).
I'm not looking at today as slacking off. I'm looking at it as getting the rest I needed. If a person doesn't get enough sleep then the metabolism slows down. So, the workouts aren't nearly as effective when your body is crying out for rest. So, tomorrow morning, I'll be right back at it at 4:30 in the morning.
I'm also doing really well on my calorie intake today.
When I weighed in this morning I was at the same weight as yesterday. I think this is because of the muscle I'm gaining with the loss of the fat. Hopefully, if this is the case then I will begin losing more weight soon. With the muscle gain then my body should begin processing calories more efficiently and hence the weight loss should begin again soon. We'll see what happens soon. At the same time I need to keep in mind that I'm only in my second week of this program. Weight loss takes time. I'm just ready to see more results.
Speaking of results, I am seeing some. I looked in the mirror yesterday and could tell that my face is thinning out. Then, last night my husband said that he can tell that my body is looking a little more toned compared to what it was looking just a few weeks ago. My clothes are fitting a little better. I still have a ways to go though.
