Seriously? I get up this morning and I just decide to get on the scale. You used to could not force me to get on that thing and now I'm on it like every minute!! Anyways, I have lost 2.6 more lbs!!! Of course my first thought is that this has to be wrong so I take the battery out of the scale and reset it. I got on it about 10 times to make sure that it was right! I have lost 6.6 lbs total since the 12th! That is a little over a pound a day! I am pretty freaking amazing! I can't see the weight that I've lost just yet but I feel great and the scale doesn't lie so I am happy!
This morning for my shake I added a little cocoa powder and banana extract. I didn't have any fresh bananas handy. It turned out good but it would've been better with a fresh banana! I think that I might try apple pie for lunch. Sounds yummy! Well I guess I better get my butt to work and start drinking my water. What a great day!!
The question of the day: Have you ever cut an apple with scissors? As of just a few minutes ago, I have! Picture this...I have my personal blender sitting on my desk with everything in it except my apple. I have looked high and low and there is no knife to be found. When life throws you lemons make lemonade, right? I was determined to make my damn apple pie shake! So I improvised. I grabbed some scissors and cleaned them and then I proceeded to hack away at the apple. I say hack because it is not very easy to cut an apple with scissors. I'm actually surprised that I didn't cut my finger off! Thankfully I didn't. I got the apple chopped and I made my shake. It's super delicious. The only thing that I think is that I wish I would've had a knife to peel it first but that's okay. At least I got my shake.
I went for a walk at lunch with Jaxson. I'm pretty sure that he thinks I am the devil right now. He has to lose some weight so I think my diet is the perfect opportunity for that. I have been forcing him to go on walks more frequently. He loves it outside but after about 5 minutes of continuous walking he lets me know that he is done. Then he acts like he's going to die for the next 15 minutes of the walk! I swear he is a bigger drama queen than me!! He collapsed on the floor, right by the door, after only 20 minutes and proceeded to play dead so that I wouldn't make him walk anymore!!
Well whenever I got home from work I was exhausted and didn't feel like doing a thing! Needless to say it's 11 p.m. and I am just now sitting down!! I kept telling myself that I had to exercise or I would hate myself. So I forced myself to get up after dinner and get going. I went for a power walk, a 5 mile bike ride going 12 mph and a 1 mile bike ride going 15 mph. I pushed myself and I hated every second of it but now I'm super proud that I made it through.
Then I showered, cleaned the kitchen, made 2 dozen homemade cupcakes with homemade icing, decorated them, cleaned the kitchen again and got everything ready for in the morning! Whew! Talk about burning calories! I feel great. Oh and I didn't sample one cupcake! I wouldn't even lick my fingers or the spoon!
I surpassed my goals for today as far as calorie consumption, calorie burning, and water consumption! Yay! Well I must get my butt to bed. Tomorrow is sure to be another long one!
