I knew this would happen! I change eating and exercise habits, lose three pounds, and then gain a pound back in a week. I think my body knew what I was trying to do, thus it went into some sort of starvation mode.

I won't let this get me down. It was only a pound that I gained and to be honest, I slacked a bit in the exercise department this week anyway. Due to the rain and cold that hit Southern California late in the week, my lunchtime exercises had to be cancelled and I spent it inside, reading. While I did enjoy catching up with some literature, it put a damper on my workout. To top it off, I ate a very carb heavy meal on Saturday night and overdid it a bit because I was starving.

Thank goodness for a new week, where it looks like it will be sunny during my lunch. Sun = Tritia goes walking again. Instead of wussing out after doing only a mile, I'm going to make sure that I do two miles during my walk, and I'll make sure I am walking at a brisk pace. On top of that, I'll throw in more cardio at night with jump roping. I also need to cut down on my food intake a little bit more, make sure I'm more mindful of not stuffing myself when I'm starving, and drink more water.

Also, I modified my goal again. I changed my June 3, 2011 goal to 145 lbs. and my ultimate goal as 130 lbs. I figured that I can do the June 4th goal if I continue to do what I'm doing now. It's nearly two months away, which means I have to lose an average of only 4 lbs. a month, which seems doable.

I think I need to spice up this blog a bit with photos or something. I'm self-conscious -- but then again, who isn't these days? So maybe I'll start posting photos of my body *gulp*. Or maybe I'll expand my blog to more things, not just weight loss. The main theme would be my weight loss but .. oh, who knows. I'm just rambling now.
