Congrats Doug! It doesn't look like
he is going to let go of his lead easily.
He wins this weigh-in again by percentage points! A big shout out
goes to Aaron for losing the most weight - 9lbs.
As a group we have lost just over 142 lbs! That being said, most of us seemed to slow
down a little bit this past two weeks.
(looking at the weight lost alone)
I thought this would be a good time to use myself as a bad example. I was by far the worst this week gaining one
pound. I have thought about this and I
learned a couple of things that I will share with you.
Being on vacation for a
week made it really difficult to work out. I did find opportunities to take walks and
swim etc, but I didn't dedicate time to
exercising. I noticed two things
happened because of this:
1. I was hungrier! It's odd to think that not
burning more calories during the day makes you hungrier, but it did. I
didn't just eat more for the sake of it.
I really was hungry. I don't know
if there is any science behind this. On days that I exercise hard, I notice
that I don't crave snacks or even seconds.
2. I think subconsciously I knew that I wasn't
exercising so I kind of gave up. I
noticed that when I did snack, my
choices were terrible. Instead of
looking for something healthy that would fill me up, I ate junk food.
I have since got back into my workout routine. I already have noticed little changes in my
appetite. I am eating and desiring
healthier food. Yesterday, I made the
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese (from the eat-yourself-skinny website) and it was a
big hit with the family. I paired it
with a cucumber salad which has almost no calories. Basically, our dinner was around 350 calories
and we left the table feeling completely full!
Yea!
