I get knocked down...BUT I get up again.

My title for today says it all.

Just because you cheat today...doesn't mean you can't step your game right back up tomorrow on your lifestyle change, yes your not on a diet, your changing your lifestyle. I've had to preach and preach and preach til I'm red in the face this exact thought process to myself!

I stepped on the scale today...you betcha...I am bouncing back soooo I am definitely starting to think that some of my gain was 'water retention'....is that true? Well I'm not a Dr and definitely not an expert but it is a logical guess as to why I had an increase so drastically. Ok so 6lbs isn't drastic but to anyone losing weight I know it can be a bit discouraging that's why I titled today's post the way i did is because YOU CAN GET UP AGAIN!

So what did I consume today?

For breakfast:
1 cup regular Cheerios
1/2 cup Vitamin D Milk (yes, I have not scrounged up the courage to try 2%, 1%, skim or non-dairy milk).

Pre-Lunch:
Advocare's Spark Fruit Punch Flavor

Lunch:
Advocare's Chocolate Mocha Meal Replacement Shake

After work...I headed to the gym. I decided to see what I could do on the Elliptical Machine...this girl right here completed 20 minutes on the elliptical...burned 265 calories!!! That's like Amateur jogging for this fat girl!!! I was in tears...couldn't believe I did it!!!

After that, the best friend joined me at the gym and we climbed on the treadmill. We did 60min with a 5min cool down. Speed at 2.5mph and incline started at 5.0. Every 10minutes we reduced the incline by 1.0. After all said and done I completed 65minutes treadmill and burned 627 calories.

I came home to dinner cooked and laundry done...um husbands don't do that often so I'm totally taking advantage!!!

Dinner:
1 chicken drumstick (fried half/baked half in egg and hot sauce)
1 cup Au Gratin Potatoes
2 cups steamed broccoli

I am so satisfied!

Total calorie intake today: 1071 (my everyday goal is 1200; so I'm under!)

Also, just FYI...I always weigh first thing in the morning after I've used the bathroom and with no clothes.

Today's Weigh In: 359.6lbs (-43.6lbs lost to date)

See ya tomorrow folks! :)
