Day 17 without soda...

It's been 2 and 1/2 weeks since I had my last soda / energy drink. I've been craving soda and bad food a lot this week. I could think about was wendy's and soda. I don't know if that means I'm making progress or if I'm backtracking, or if it really means nothing at all. Today I grinded up 5 strawberries and mixed it with a cup of seltzer water and it was pretty good, and I would say healthy. It's a serving of fruit that tastes like soda. I'm down for that.

So I didn't run 3 times this week. Thursday I had to go to the pet store to get dog food, we ended up getting chipotle that night because it was kind of late to cook, and then on top of that we had to give the puppy his shot and say good bye to my in laws before they leave the country. So no time for our second run of the week. That's fine, we ran Friday. But then today (we are starting our weeks on Sunday), my legs were hurting, and I'll be honest I was feeling lazy. I hate running on the weekends. To be fair, I did zumba Monday, so I was active 3 times this week, that counts, right? :)

Also, if you recall I said I was only going to do sugar once a week. This week I made homemade apple pie. Oh My Word. It was absolutely delicious and worth every calorie. I gave half the pie to our neighbors, so two slices for me, and two slices for the hubby. Very reasonable I think. The plus side, even though the pie was 400 (!!) calories a slice, I still managed to stay around 1300 for the day. Our dinner was healthy, had some vegetables and protein so all is good there.

Tomorrow is weigh in day. Am I the only one who gets nervous? I feel like what if I didn't lose any weight this week? I'll feel like I did a bad job, and it makes it seem like the struggle isn't worth it. Someone tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this?

I'm pretty sure most of us get nervous. I am in the process of NOT letting the scale define who I am. IT is a tool. It shows me trends. But if I KNOW I have stayed on my eating plan and even exercised some--compared to where I was 3 months ago, then no loss simply means I am more likely to lose weight NEXT weigh in. I want to TOTALLY encourage you...STAY the Course!! Regardless of what happens at weigh in tomorrow, your chart is trending in the right directions. Congratulations and keep on keeping on !!

thank you for the advice! and you're right about the no loss simply means you're more likely to lose weight next weigh in. Two years ago my second week of "dieting" and I saw no loss like the first week. The next week I had lost 2+ pounds! I just need to remember to stay the course. Thank you! :)
