weight loss week 2

Total weight loss for week 2 : 4lbs! Even with a couple of bumps in the road this past week, 4lbs makes me happy! I really did have some rough times trying to eat well last week and over the weekend with a combination kids birthday party and packer party where there was plenty of food. I ate a taste of everything, ok maybe more than "a taste" but i didn't go overboard, which normally i would have. Also, with my crazy hormones coming into play this week, things should get interesting. I felt really crappy and tired over the weekend, mostly due to boredom and mood swings, but i really feel re-energized today and have been eating great so far. Hopefully i will have the energy to do my 30 min run/jog and i still need to do something else to kick it up a notch this week. I realize that the On Demand workout during the day may not always be an option, as today my kids didn't nap at the same time so i couldn't get to working out. Maybe i will add crunches to my workout. I'd like to add more cardio time ideally, but i'll have to play that by ear this evening.

I am still looking for some good dinner recipe ideas...We did fish last week and there was one recipe i really liked. But to be honest, I'm not much of a seafood person in general. We are on chicken again this week, which is a little boring since we eat a lot of chicken. We could possibly go vegetarian for a week, but I'd like to have SOME kind of protein involved, and no it will not be tofu! I've tried that all different ways and i just can't gag it down! I'm also am not a fan of red meat. Plus it's not good for you anyways, so i'm not missing out much there. Hmmmm...my options are slim when i break it down like that. Must think of NEW IDEAS!!
