Weekly Weigh-in and Food Journal

Four days ahead of schedule, and I met my goal of getting to 160 pounds!  Considering this week involved a Memorial Day cookout, a trip to Michigan's Adventure, and two birthday parties (Ozzie turns one tomorrow!), I did pretty well.

That being said, for the amount I'm exercising, I still think the weight is coming off very slowly.  It has to be a food issue...hopefully the metabolic testing I'm doing tomorrow will help steer me in the right direction!!!

Sunday, June 3
I didn't keep track today.  We had Ozzie's first birthday party, and so I ate a really healthy breakfast and snack (eggs and Greek yogurt, respectively), took the Attack/Pump combo AND Flow, and then ate party food.  Our version of party food is pretty healthy: veggies and dip, guacamole and baked tortilla chips, and fruit kebabs.  Of course, there were some not-so-healthy options: cake (because of the gluten, I could only eat frosting), frozen yogurt, and Doritos.
