Week 5 Results

Well, this week I didn't follow the eating so closely, but I did have total control over everything I ate.  We all know this was a hard week with  2 wedding receptions, a wedding luncheon, and a shower.  I also had a big Father's Day dinner at the Essig's with a big dessert.  The temptations were there, but I was determined in my mind to be in control of everything that went in my mouth.  It was not so bad. I did it much easier than I thought I would.
Here are my week 5 results:
I lost 1.4 pds, 1/2 in from waist, 1/2 inch from hips, and .5% body fat.  My goal for losing 3 pounds didn't happen, but I also only exercised 1 day last week.  It was my own fault.  But it goes to show, if you make smart choices with what you eat and how much you eat, you can still lose weight.  (Well, that's probably because I have weight to lose!)
This week we leave for Canada.  I've seen the food menu, and it is not going to be good! (well, it will be good, just FULL of calories!)  The possibility of gaining weight is pretty realistic.  So to help me, I'm going to ask Lance if I can have a little reward if I don't gain any weight.  I think this will give me the incentive to be cautious about what I eat. I sure hope I can do it.
Good luck to everyone on week 6!
