Day 9: Catch up

Ok so it seems I am behind on my blog. Hmmm...I don't remember what I did on Sunday.  I know I went to the gym, but what did I do?  I believe it was just the usual treadmill and/or elliptical.

I remember being at the gym for an hour and a half because I had to run some errands for a my sister.  She asked me if I could take her to drop her rental car off.  When she called it was 10am and I did not leave the gym til 11:30.  I believe that was the day I did 40 minutes on the treadmill.

My eating habits weren't the best.  I did not eat until I got home from the gym.  I grabbed a couple fruit packs to take with me for snacks until I got to my aunt's house for dinner.  I did not eat a lot of everything she had which was turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese and cabbage. I stayed away from the mashed potatoes entirely, but dressing is my weakness and I had two helpings.  What would possess her to cook that and it is not even Thanksgiving?  Sheesh! Although it was bad, I have done much worse. 

I had a conversation with my cousin who lost a tremendous amount of weight after she learned she had diabetes.  She said I should be eating 4 or 5 times a day.  I have heard that so many times and it's crazy because I can skip 1 or 2 meals some days, but I end up eating a lot in the meals that I do eat.  So, I am going to incorporate this method of eating to see how it changes my progression.  

I weighed myself and I have not lost or gained any weight after the initial 7 lb loss in the first week.  Obviously that was water weight. I assume that because I am lifting weights that the scale is not changing anytime soon. I think I am going to stay off of the scale for the rest of the month.  I can see a small difference in my stomach and I am getting stronger.
