Well there's no connection (to my knowledge) between weight loss & Chinese food, I just had both over the weekend. :) I lost weight 4 weeks in a row, then a week ago Sunday had a 2.4 lb gain. Eek! Not happy about that, but I wasn't able to exercise this past week till Saturday due to a Fibro flare-up, so even though I was more careful with my food intake last week and did a little exercising on Saturday, I was still expecting a gain yesterday. However I was pleasantly surprised to see I had lost a pound. Yay!
We did great for breakfast (points/calorie-wise) yesterday. I made stuffed french toast & extra lean turkey bacon. Mmm-mmm! Then had a turkey ham sandwich with an ounce of Trader Joe's Baked Organic Nacho Tortilla chips for lunch. For dinner we threw caution to the winds and got Chinese take-out. I have no idea how to even begin to track what I ate though. I didn't measure anything. All I know is I went W-A-Y over what I should have eaten yesterday. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that my dinner alone was equivalent to a whole day or more's worth of calories. (bad Lauren!) To make up for it though, I will be extra vigilant this week with regard to food and will definitely exercise. If I'm going to splurge, I honestly feel better splurging on Sunday, because then I have the whole week to work it off before our next weigh in. (we always weigh in Sunday mornings) It's the splurging on Saturdays that kills my weigh ins.
On the exercise front, to help motivate me to walk more, I ordered a pedometer. I know myself well enough that I know I'll want to try to match or better my distance walked each successive day. Frank is going to make me a chart, and I'll also keep track of it on sparkpeople.com. It should be here in a few days. Yay!
