194.2 - 1.6 pounds lost

Last week was a bad week. Bad. Lots of personal stuff going on, huge amounts of stress. We had one day where we were super busy and driving all over, so we ended up eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But, that's all in the past. The scale moved, and even if it's not as much as I wanted (because the prior week was up due to sodium), it's still a win. If I only lost half a pound, it's half a pound less to lug around.

I've been using my Body Media religiously and am in love with it! Seeing how long I sleep at night and how often I wake up, all the steps (or lack thereof) I take in a day, and how much I burn is super helpful. I'm seeing that the Fat2Fit calculators are within just a couple hundred or less of what this says I burn, depending on how much I get up and walk around throughout the day (not a lot at the moment.) It's a great motivator though and I love knowing how much I've done/not done. Highly recommend it!

My meeting with the nutritionist went well. I had lost another 3 pounds since seeing her, 4 if you count my weight the next day. For not exercising, I'd say I'm doing pretty well, though I know I need to add that in to maintain muscle and build up my heart. I'm just so unmotivated. Her goal for me though is to start taking at least 10,000 steps a day. I'm not sure if I will meet that or not by walking at lunch, but I'll have to see.

Things are pretty uneventful otherwise. This week I'm going to work on calming down. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be snowy and cold, but later in the week it should get a little warmer. Getting out and enjoying the air and, hopefully, the sun will help. I always feel so much better after taking a walk outside!
