Progress

Week 4: August 31-September 6 2010

This week I:
– Lost 1.2 lbs.(303.4)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– Went to the farmer’s market (peaches, whole grain bread loaf, pesto, green beans, celery and blueberries)

I still need to:
– Clean out my fridge.
– Start collecting clear/glass containers for storing stuff in the fridge to make stuff easy to identify.

This last weekend was hard. We were camping and busy working and it was hard to make time to make the right foods. Also there were a lot of temptations around (brownies, alcohol, pork ribs) and I gave in to them when I shouldn’t have. So instead of being down 4 lbs (like I was on Friday) I’m only down 1.2 lbs. Regardless, progress is still progress.

Next time I need to come up with clean cold choices. Or choices that will cook very very quickly. When we’re both working we just don’t have time to cook properly.
