Week 16: November 23-29, 2010

This week I:
– Lost 4 lbs. Color me surprised. (285.6)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– Didn’t go to the farmer’s market (Thanksgiving)
– New recipe this week: Bowtie pasta with pork sausage ragu. It was good.. but I think next time I’ll do 50/50 ground pork/ground beef. Also would benefit from added garlic.. and from cooking longer in the sauce.

I still need to:
– Finish cleaning out the fridge

Considering I’ve been at 0 loss for the last two weeks.. and that it was Thanksgiving.. I’m utterly shocked to be able to say I’m down 4 lbs. I ate what I wanted for T-day.. and after T-day I know I had way too much pie.. and still, despite weeks of plateau, I’m down. Let me just say.. YEAH!

I’m also in week three of the ick. I -think- it’s getting better.. but as soon as I think that it gets worse. All the test came back essentially negative.. so I’m just waiting for it to go away.

I need to focus on menu planning. I’m fallling back into deciding on dinner about 30 minutes before dinner.. and since most everything is frozen it’s starting to frustrate me.

I’m still really enjoying the Kinect excersizes. I caught myself this morning thinking “this is way to easy” and then about 2 minutes after that I realized I was sweating and my legs were shaking.

So.. yeah for progress.
