It's been a while since my last post, just because nothing new has happened. The diet has been going well, and we have been VERY consistent with our workouts! Haven't had to miss a workout yet! I will have to say, it really doesn't get much easier as you go. You know what to expect, but the "better" you get, the faster you go, which winds you as much as you were when you first started doing it. So you always feel like you have room for improvement, and I like that!
Today we had my little boy's 2nd bday party, so as you can expect, I didn't eat extremely healthy. Although, everything that I made was a "healthy" version! Of course the cake wasn't healthy...but I'm not going to pass up my little boy's bday cake!
Since we had the party today, we decided we would weigh in this morning instead of tomorrow. We were both a little disappointed in our weigh-in, but we know it is just part of the plan and not a reflection on our hardwork and dedication. I only lost 1 pound this week (puts me at 169.0) and Brandon actually gained 4. Initially this was pretty bumming, but honestly, I know I have gained muscle and I know Brandon as too. He was more disappointed than I was. But he wanted to loose all of the weight that he wanted to, then gain muscle, and that's not how it works. We have to build muscle in order to loose fat, so I'll be patient and hope that the scale goes down more next week!! Just to make sure I wasn't wrong, I measured my waist to make sure that it had not gotten bigger or stopped progressing, and I had lost another inch off of it! So that's 3 inches off of my waist in 3 weeks!! Pretty good!!
We have discussed taking tonight off and do today's workout tomorrow (which is supposed to be our day off), but I don't know if we'll do that or not. Part of me says to just because we ate quite a bit during the party, and I don't know how that'll feel on our tummies...but then part of me says that we ate enough today to warrant a workout tonight...lol So we'll see!
I'm going to include a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip (skinny style) just in case some of you are wondering what a "Healthy" party food is like. And it is AWESOME!!
Buffalo Chicken Dip
2 cans Chunk Chicken Breast, drained
1/2 C Fat Free Ranch
1/2 C Buffalo Sauce (I use Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce)
1/2 C Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 package softened Fat Free Cream Cheese
I find it easies to mix when you mix the sauces and cream cheese together first. Then add the two cans of chicken, mix well. Add mozzarella cheese and mix well. I usually sprinkle a little bit on the top as well...just a sprinkle though.
Bake on 350 degrees for about 20 mins.
