Shred Week 2: Challenge Results

Well this week was interesting. I was definitely not in the right mind to follow the plan completely during half of week 2. I know there was some pms going on this last week. So, knowing that, I wasn't expecting much with numbers this week. I was definitely not at my worst, but I know in the evenings I would have more than the 100 or 150 cal snacks. The meals themselves were fine other than I still can rarely get all 4 meals in each day. I don't go to bed hungry so I don't think it's hindering me much. Overall, I feel really good. I have energy and don't feel bloated or anything. I do feel slightly hungry in between breakfast and lunch with just the 100 cal. but it's not unbearable. I do drink herbal tea throughout the day. I don't think that is technically on the list of being allowed, but between being cold at work and just loving tea, I'll keep drinking it unless I see something that specifically says it ruins this plan.

So my numbers did not change other than I went down 1/4 in which is great especially since I was definitely not very strict nor did I follow through on the exercise side of things much last week either.

I did start working out with a trainer again at Core Health and Fitness, and for the next 5 weeks I'll get in 2 sessions a week with her, so that will definitely help me get in at least 2 really good workouts.

For week 3, I'm determined to follow it as closely as possible at least up through Friday. Yet again I have plans that were planned weeks ago and will definitely not allow for following this plan. However, I didn't follow anything in between week 1 and 2 and I was able to lose, so maybe if I try to be careful when possible and not eat too much I may be good to go. We shall see.

Whether I lose 5 lbs or 15 lbs I will complete this plan. If I don't see enough results I'll look for something else, but at least I will have followed thru.
