Here I am.... 32 days into the box. And, I'm still alive. At least 15 pounds down, too. I haven't weighed at the gym at all this week. One, because I'm trying to keep from being obessive about it. And two, because I've been sick most of the week and skipped the gym two days in a row. I've got some sinus problems or a cold or something. I've never been good at determining any distinction between those sorts of things.
This weekend will be my first "holiday" on the diet. Labor day isn't typically known for it's speciality meals. But, three days of unstructured family time will bring some challenges. I have noticed that I want to eat more on weekends. My job keeps me extremely busy. I feel like I just run from meeting to meeting for about 10 hours a day. So, I don't really think about eating. A shake or bar is actually very easy. On weekends, it is definitely harder. I'm not running nearly as much (though we do generally stay busy) and we are more social. I try to add some physical activity to those times when I want a snack. I get on the treadmill or take Brody (the dog) for a walk. That helps. But, I anticipate this weekend will be more difficult than most. The only good thing about this cold/sinus stuff is that I feel like nothing taste good. Maybe that will keep me from wanting non-box foods?
One thing I have noticed is my clothes are getting a lot looser. Hooray! I actually write down my outfit on my diet planner each day. I figure if don't I end up loosing weight one week that perhaps I can look back and see where my body has started to shift and clothes have become looser. Outfits I may have worn 3 weeks earlier are now almost too loose to wear. It's a great way to show success. And, I need all the opportunities for reinforcements I can get!
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
