Week 7

Week 7: -1.6 TOTAL: -15.4

This was another good week. I ended the week with a slight cold, though. I'm not sure how that's gonna affect my workouts, but I'm gonna take it one day at a time. I'm actually not even positive it's a cold. I think it's really my darn allergies. This Texas allergy thing is crazy. I would say at least half of San Antonio is on allergy meds. Probably more. It makes you feel so lethargic and congested and ick. I had better try some Zytec and see if it helps.....

I did one day of kettlebell beginner workout last week (only made it through one of the two sets recommended), and it just about killed me. I could barely walk for days. It was awesome! I knew I had done my body a wonderful service. Just for that I'm doing it again tomorrow! I also was able to run 1.5 miles around the neighborhood three times this week. I just love feeling like a person who works out again!!! The running is pretty much hell, but the feeling of accomplishment afterwards is amazing!

I did well with switching to brown rice this week, but I did eat too many chips. I stayed in my points, but I had 1/2 serving of Julio's chips almost every day. Probably not the best idea. I need to be replacing those with more fruits and veggies.

I've been cooking a few things here and there that I really like. I'll post when I find something I really LOVE. I'm making arroz con pollo (8 pointsplus) this week that I'm hopeful for...and of course my favorite stuffed shells. Those are 16 pointsplus, though, so I won't post that recipe!!! If you want it, check out the Pioneer Woman website. I did make some whole wheat bagels from my sister's blog that were delicious! 5 pointsplus each (lower than the averge bagel) http://keepnthefaith.com/2011/10/06/whole-wheat-bagels/

I'm just so excited about all the changes in my body and mind in the last 7 weeks! Imagine another 7 weeks....or even 7 months! So excited for the future. I can't wait to be off blood pressure meds and prediabetes meds and wear normal-sized clothes and have enough energy to keep up with Tobias! All for the Glory of God!!!!!

How was your week, everybody???
