Weekly Weigh-in and Food/Exercise Journal

Ah...nothing like a little gastro-intestinal virus to help with your weight loss. 

This week was a strong one for me, both food-wise and exercise-wise.  I set a goal to be at the gym every weekday at 5:30 am, and I met that goal.  I worked out really hard, pushing myself to complete every rep and get to breathless in classes.  By Friday, I was super tired, which I thought was from the early workouts.  However, as Friday progressed, I felt more and more nauseated and dizzy...and then came the puking.  Yup, it was a fun weekend in the Davis household. 


I felt better on Sunday morning - enough to do Attack/Pump and Body Flow and to eat some substantial meals.  You'll see no food journal for Friday afternoon or all of Saturday because most of what I ate came back up anyway.  Am I grossing you out?  I think I overdid it - I'm home from work today because the dizziness and nausea have returned.

I'm a little miffed that my weight loss is partially because of being so sick, especially since I lost a lot of water and my weight may bump back up again next week.  My goal was to lose 10 pounds by June 8, which means getting down to 162.  Check out that number below - I may have to set a new, lower weight goal!
