Beginning of Week 4... 267.2 =(

I went up a little this week. While I’m not happy about it, I at least know why it happened- well I have a clue in any case. I at shrimp-fried rice and apparently it is LOADED with salt…plus some salads I had were unusually salty as well- those were my mistakes. So I believe my body just held onto water for dear life, not to mention I may of over-done it on the calorie front. No flour/sugar or not, calories are calories. I tried drinking more water to flush everything out but to no avail. Also, I only exercised one day last week.



Last week was just off and awful in general. I felt sluggish and tired for what seemed like no reason (thus the not going to gym). It was hard to wake up even when I went to bed extra early. Everything was just off..nothing felt right at all, nothing *went* right at all. I was feeling very down and out of sorts. The best way I can describe it, it was like when a superhero loses their powers.



I did finally buy new jeans on Sunday, from Old Navy. I was down a size…or actually I was down TWO sizes, I had been wearing my current jeans with the belt cinched all the way to the last notch, but these were now just big to the point of not being able to be held up even w/ a belt. I got a new, smaller belt too (woot!). I used to shop in Old Navy all the time…stuff that is good for work and just hanging out that is relatively cheap. If you’re creative you can hook up some good looks in there. It felt good to be back in there and out of the “Big & Tall” section, for pants at least. Shirts- haven’t gotten there yet. Had to go to K & G for shirts, but at least they were sharp…I’ll get into the whole big men/ big women vs. fashion at a later date. That could be a whole separate blog by itself!



So, this is a new week. Despite having much to do in the morning I got up really early and went to the gym- I’m going to just do cardio this week. Today wasn’t a great food day starting out, I found myself unprepared again. So it was cashews and a grilled chicken/spinach salad from Applebee’s (which was not that great, btw). I did get all of my water in though. I feel pretty wiped out but I think going to bed early will solve that issue, after all I was up very early. So, I will hit the cardio hard this week, make better food choices, and do my best to not worry about the things I can’t do anything about, though for me that is always harder than it would seem.
