WEEK ELEVEN
STATS:
Starting weight: 180
Weight today: 168 (Monday)
Difference: -at least 5. I know for sure that I gained 5 lbs at least over thanksgiving. I couldn't hardly even button my pants again!
Total Weight Loss to date: 12lbs
Size: squeezing into 12/13 - getting a little easier ! : )
CHALLENGES
Same ole - trying not to stress eat. Also, it has been really hard to squeeze in exercise with a teething baby who is super clingy!
VICTORIES
Back to whole foods and managed a few dance parties with the kids. Short ones though - my baby didn't want to be put down much this week. That's exercise though, right? Holding the baby?
STRATEGY
WHOLE FOODS ARE AMAZING. 100 Days of Real Food helped me lose my Thanksgiving Weight. It doesn't even feel like I am dieting. We did get a burger one night but that was about it. I can count the processed foods I ate one one hand. Some of you have asked what a typical day of meals looks like for me. This is it:
Cereal with banana in the morning -- I need a bigger breakfast. I'm less hungry during the day if I get in a good breakfast.
Lunch is usually a turkey sandwich on fresh baked bread. I rarely buy organic meats and cheeses. Way too expensive for our budget.
Dinner is two vegetables with a protein. I have lots of organic produce that I got at a great rate from Azure Standard.org which has a drop here in Dodge City. One veggie might be a salad. We've been incorporating more sweet potatoes - those are amazingly healthy! I found that if I put salad on my plate first, I am more likely to eat it and fill up.
For snacks, I eat fruit or yogurt. Organic depends on if it was on sale. I just ordered a bunch of organic nuts which I am looking forward to adding in to my diet.
I haven't had diet coke in a few months now. It's been a good change for me. I've been drinking LOTS of tea.

Observations
I am not going to weigh in again until after the holidays. -- SO the first Monday in January. I imagine my weight loss will be minimal given the amount of baking I've been wanting to do, but who knows, maybe I'll surprise the both of us! I have a lot more energy even to deal with the kids who were sick and/or teething this week!
GOALS THIS WEEK
Meal Plan. I waste too much time and money at the store if I forget to meal plan or stick to the one I was intending to use.
Back to whole foods (mostly) and Jillian Michaels!
