This week was a very eventful one! Aside from being week 6 of my truVISION journey, it was my daughters 4th birthday party! Birthday parties typically entail cake and ice cream – which are loaded with carbs and sugar! That would definitely NOT be good and potentially halt the progress I’ve been making, if not set me back.
So the best thing you can do when you have an event coming up is PREPARE! I knew we were planning on having pizza, ice, cream, and cake – all of which I was not going to be able to eat. To resist being tempted, I made sure to have plenty of things I COULD eat.
This included:
* Pickle roll ups
* Meat and Cheese tray (skip the crackers)
* Veggie tray (cauliflower and broccoli are the best choices here)
* Pistashios
* And best of all – Pumpkin Bars w/ Cream Cheese Frosting
It goes to show how a little planning can go a long way – instead of splurging on ‘bad’ food and then gaining this week, here’s how it turned out:
Starting Weight: 308.8 lbs
Last Weeks Weight: 291 lbs
This Weeks Weight: 283.8 lbs
Loss this week: 7.2 lbs!!!! WOW!!! I was so amazed!!
That means I’m down 25 lbs since 9/21/18. It’s amazing!
I’m also thrilled with the inches I’ve lost too –
Starting Inches: 489.7 inches
Last Weeks Inches: 466.4 inches
This Weeks Inches: 460.6 inches
Loss This Week: 5.8 inches
Which means…. I’m down 29.1 inches!!!
I lost a few lbs doing Keto before I started truVISION (although it was so much more difficult for me to stay on it AND keep it off), but total I’m down 37.6 lbs from this time last year!! I’ve got a long ways to go, but I know with the help of truVISION I know I’ll get there!
