DAY 14 - FRUSTRATION

I'm not going to deny that I haven't been weighing myself everyday and this week I'm not seeing much of a loss. I'm really trying real hard not to get discouraged because of what the scale is showing and instead, relying on how my body is feeling. My body is feeling a whole lot better than it did before. I have more energy and my clothes are fitting better. But oh that dreaded scale, why do we depend on it so much? Tomorrow is our official weigh in for the week and I'll be very surprised if I have more than a pound loss or if any at all.

I will keep telling myself to keep trying and not to give up!

Today I worked out again using the Wii Active. The squats kill me! LOL Today I had to hold the squats for 5 seconds before I could go back up and those were tough and I only had to do two! LOL It will be exciting when I can do these kind of exercise easily.

I was very happy that Rick did the Wii Active yesterday as well. He was working up a sweat and even woke up a bit sore today. LOL He's really doing good and you can tell he's losing weight. I'm so proud of him! :)

I will admit, it's a lot easier doing this with your spouse. :)

Since Rick and I were without our kids tonight, we decided to make it a date night. We went to our usually Friday night sports bar. Surprisingly, we really weren't feeling tempted to "cheat" on our diet. Usually, Rick would have a big plate of hot wings with bleu cheese, fries and several rounds of 2 for 1 beers. I would usually have a large Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and a couple rounds of 2 for 1 glasses of wine. But tonight was different, we both ordered unsweetened tea and 2 large Cobb Salads with a balsamic vinegarette dressing. We were really taken back when the salads were delivered to our table. They seemed huge and loaded with much more extras than we had remembered. We both went sparingly with the dressing and nibbled through the salad avoiding the high calorie and high fat extras. We both found that we were more than satisfied after finishing less than half of the salad. We both probably ate a little more than we should have but we both pushed the unfinished salads away and felt very proud of our selves for having self control.

So here's what we've had to eat for the day.
