30 day shred

I am still holding steady. There have been 2 days I went up a pound but right back down the next day. Saturday morning reveiled a 2 pound gain after a Chipotle dinner. I had a bowl with easy rice, pinto beans, shredded beef, pico and lettuce. I stayed in my guidelines except the rice but I at the whole thing and I was actually stuffed. I wasn't surprised by the gain especially when Chris saw he was thrown out of ketosis from it as well. We are guessing it's the marinade they use-too much sugar which is what makes it oh so good!

With a 2 pound gain in 1 day, I was supposed to skip breakfast and lunch then have a steak and apple for dinner. That didn't happen. We had a sitter arranged for Saturday night so we could have an adult night. So we went out to dinner at Red Robin and met up with some old friends at a sports bar/pool hall. I had my mind set on having a drink or two but when it came time to order it, I just couldn't bring myself to it...too much sugar, too many calories.

So, as I mentioned, I'm holding steady. I knew this was what was supposed to happen but I also know, I am not happy with holding steady. I want, no, need, to lose weight. I need to see the scale moving.

Today I decided to start the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. I've had the DVD for a while and just now opened it. I thought I was ready for it when I bought it but found excuses. You need hand weights which was the main thing holding me back from starting it. No more excuses. I bought the weights and it's the beginning of the month. I can start hCG injections again next month so I figured I'd see what I can do on my own.

The video KICKED MY BUTT and that was just level 1!! 20 minutes and I couldn't finish! With 3 minutes left, I couldn't finish. I am proud of the 17 minutes I did accomplish though. If you know Jillian, you know the workout she put me through! It will be hard to push myself to do it again every day this week knowing what I'm in for. I can't continue to give myself excuses.
