First things first, I lost 2 lbs! I find it so amusing the way my weight loss works; for the most part I plateau for about 3 weeks then drop 2 or 3 pounds over the course of the next week or two before holding steady again. This used to drive me crazy but now I just kind of know the cycle so I don't stress as much. Although the drop could also have something to do with the fact that I'm walking A LOT more then usual too...
1. Eat out less then 20 meals: I didn't eat any meals out on Thursday but I did eat a bunch of sweets. We had a going away/birthday cake for 2 of my coworkers. 5 meals total. 2. At least 25 days with a 750+ calorie burn:
Breakfast: watermelon & granola bar = 281 calories
Lunch: cantaloupe, greek yogurt & smartfood = 376 calories
Dinner: chicken & broccoli = 158 calories
Snacks: strawberry shortcake & gelati = 443 calories
Totals: 2193 burned - 1258 eaten = 935 total burned, 6 days total
3. Complete 1500 fitness minutes: I didn't do any actual working out, it was just to darn hot. 237 minutes total.
4. Walk at least 10,000 steps for 25 days: I was super low on steps at about 8pm so we decided to walk to Rita's for water ice with Lou & Nicole. But even after walking there and back I still had about 2000 steps left so Joe and I walked back over to ShopRite and picked up a few things. In the end I had to fold a load of laundry and put it away before going to bed to cross the finish line. 10012 steps (can you tell I was watching the numbers then hopped in bed). 8 days total.
5. At least 25 days with 30 minutes of house work: My cleaning was spread out again. I cleaned the bathroom a little in the morning and did some laundry before bed. 6 days total.
Congrats on the 2lb drop! I just won a fitbit via a contest and I'm SO STOKED! It's fun to see your activity via fitbit; very excited to have one of my own :) Happy Friday!
