R1P3D7 (A Good Day)

Weight: 173.4 (-0.2, -0.2 LDW, -25.2)

So that was a nice little loss today! I'm pretty happy about that. I'm actually pretty happy about my first week of P3. I was a little concerned at first with the weight fluctuating like it was, but I think it was just my body getting used to being off the HCG. I had a good day today. I woke up relatively early (like 8:30) and went on a bike ride. It's still super hot, for the record. When I got back I had to get in the shower to cool down. I made my usual breakfast, an omelet with Morningstar Farms sausage links. I also had some strawberries that I sprinkled with Truvia (yummy!)

I tried my first T-Tapp workout today! I just did the very first video, Instructional #1, to get used to doing the exercises. It says you're supposed to do that video at least 7 times before moving on to the next one so that you can really get to know the moves well. I'm so excited to stick with this because I really want to do a bootcamp to really lose some inches! But if I want to do that I have to learn all of Instructional #1, the Basic Workout Plus (that's just the instructional without the instruction...if that makes sense), and Instructional #2. Theeeeen I have to be able to do everything together without instruction. Then Boot Camp! Patience is a virtue that I really don't possess...it'll probably be at least 3 weeks before I'm ready to do a boot camp. There have been people who've lost lots of inches just from doing the Basic Workout Plus though! So there's always that :) Some inches are better than no inches at all, right?

Another exciting thing I did today, I made a calendar to kind of plan out my HCG dieting. It's super helpful because it's helping me really get a handle on the time frame of all this. If I follow the break time exactly, alotting 6 full weeks, then going back for round 2, I should finish round 2 (hypothetically) the first week of October, with my P3 ending 3 days before Halloween. Sounds pretty perfect to me!

I want to print off all this stuff that I'm making (because I keep track of my weight and thoughts in a Word document, too) and put it in a notebook or something. I know it doesn't really make sense, but I think it would be kind of nice to be able to have a notebook that has everything in it. Plus I could print out research that I find or interesting stuff, plus I could chart my weight loss on Excel and put that in there...the possibilities are endless!

So today was a good day. My only concern was that I ate dinner WAY later than I wanted to. I was aiming for about 6:30, I didn't really get to eat until 8:00 because I got so busy at work. I had my Mexican Chicken dish again. It was SO GOOD. But I didn't get to eat it all...someone threw the last of it away. There wasn't much left, but still...I was quite sad.

Okay, I think I'm about to hit the sack. I think I'm going to get up early tomorrow and ride my bike, but probably not for as long as usually do. Maybe only 20 or 25 minutes. I don't want to get too sweaty before I have to go to work :)
