Week 2 Recap

Weekly Recap: This week was MUCH easier than week 1. I didn't have a very big overall weight loss for the week, actually after calculating it says I GAINED 0.1 lbs this week. I'm HOPING this is due to being Week 2. If you have ever watched biggest loser, you know week 2 is AWFUL! That being said, 'the boy' started his phase 1 on Wednesday and that man has already lost SEVEN POUNDS! UGHHHH! MEN!

We also made a few adjustments to the plan this weekend. We have both agreed to have TWO cheat dinners a month in order to keep us from going insane from not eating awesome food for the next 8 months. We figured this might slow down our weight loss a tiny amount, but overall it's for the best! It also helps us work in holidays and special events that occur throughout the months.

week 1 recap

RECAP: So y'all this week was HARD. I mean really flippin' hard, but aside from my one cheat of broccoli, I was rock solid on plan. A 3 pound loss for the week! YAY! My energy level for the week was pretty regular, Tuesday was the worst. I had an awful headache and was soooo tired. Other than that, things went pretty well. I am slightly tired of chicken though, but I think having the ability to add veggies will help with the variety in food.
