Weekend Update

Okay -- so this won't be as funny as Kevin Nealon's but it's still my weekend update :)  I'll be honest... this weekend was HARD!  Again -- it's the food.  I worked out Friday (did an awesome spin class at the YMCA with two of my friends) and then I was able to walk tonight and burn some calories, but man, this food thing is hard!  I cracked and had my first soda since I got back.  The good news is that even since I had that,  I still feel like I could wait awhile before having another.  And I was still craving water today.  I really think that's a big part of my answer -- drink more water. I drank so much water when I was at the resort and I really think it helped with my hunger.  I just don't drink as much here because I usually drink when I'm working out.  There I was working out all day, here I'm not.  That will be my goal this week -- to drink more water!!! 

I've kept pretty much to my 1600 calories a day during the week as well.  The weekend I was probably over a little -- maybe 1800 or so, but nothing too crazy.  But I know I'm not nearly getting the nutrition I need -- as far as veggies/fruits, etc  -- that I had at the resort.  So -- my solution?  I'm trying a place called B Healthy Meals -- http://bhealthymeals.com/  My previous roommate, Leah, had actually learned about this place at a benefits fair she was at for work and at the time I was hesitant to spend the money on it, but honestly, after finding out how hard preparing meals (and I mean HEALTHY meals) was during the week, I decided to give it a try for a week. The meals look good.  And I keep saying that if someone prepares the food for me, I'll eat it, but on my own, I'm less likely to make a healthy meal.  So -- I pick up the meals Tuesday -- I'll let you know how it goes!!

PS -- even thought I haven't done the best I could this week, I haven't gained any weight and I'm still down 11 lbs from when I started which is a bonus.

Oh -- and I saw the Hunger Games last night -- I had a really hard time picking out Dakota (my seatmate on the plain) because she looks a lot like one of the other tributes -- and of course I didn't want to miss any parts of the movie, so  I'll have to watch the movie again just to look for -- okay twist my arm.  :)  It was a great movie.  Here's a cute clip of her I found though --  http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi3997409561/

So -- I'll keep you posted about the meals!!  A new week, a new start!!
