McFatty Monday Week 2

Week 2 of HeirToBlair's McFatty Monday (they are on week 4)

So last week I put it in writing that I resolved that this time would be different because I wanted to set a good example for my son by eating well and being active. It's almost liked he sensed my resolve would someday cost him chocolate milk, fast food, fatty snacks and endless hours in front of the TV either watching it or playing video games. That's right - my own son sabotaged me! Well that's only partially true. I did a fair amount of sabotaging myself, but his decision to stop sleeping didn't help matters!

So here's my update.

The Good: I walked WonderMutt 5 days last week. I drank at least 80oz of liquids each day and I enrolled in the Weight Watchers at work program. And I even got a salad for lunch one day.

The Bad: Went out for Mexican Friday night and ate a ton of the delicious chips and salsa that they served, plus I had a couple of beers. And instead of just getting a coffee from Dunkin Donuts Saturday & Sunday, I decided to take comfort in the form of a coffee roll BOTH mornings. And finally I did not start training for the 5K which is now only 13 weeks away...

The just Eh: I think that all five of WonderMutt's walks were abbreviated because of the morning schedule snafu of Gus not sleeping at night. And the 80 oz I drank was low-cal liquids, not necessarily water which was the intended goal.

The Results: Down 1lb on my home scale. I won't know about the WW scale until Wednesday.

Am I happy? Yes. Down is down and it's a number I haven't seen in a while so I'm glad about that, but it could have been more. And it will be next week.

Week 2 Goals: Drink at least 80 oz of WATER this week. Start the Couch to 5K training plan.

See you next week!
