3.5 lbs in 1 week….WOW to say I was shocked is an understatement.
WEEKEND RECAP
Friday: I had a hankering for Won Ton soup so we ordered chinese. Both my son and Tony (bf) ordered combo plates. I took 2 spoonfuls of beef fried rice, a bite of a crab rangoon and 2 small pieces of sesame chicken and ate that along with half of my wonton soup. I was so proud of myself because serious I LOVE rice especially yummy greasy fried rice and I only ate my 2 spoonfuls (super slow to savor it). My won ton soup was very yummy and really filling so I could only eat half. I almost didn’t get up to do Tae bo. I started dozing off but woke up after about 5 mins, jumped up and got my Tae Bo on. Then showered and passed out.
Saturday: I work the weekend so I was up and at ’em very early 630 am to be exact. I ran to Shaws to pick up my food for the day. I purchase some Shaws brand honey bunches of oats w/strawberries, Dannon light and fit yogurt, dole fruit and a lean cuisine (shrimp w creamy lobster sauce and angel hair pasta- aka my new obsession). I spread out my food through out the day but for some reason I was starving when I finally got home at about 4pm so I ate some fried rice and the rest of my won ton soup. Talked to my mom a bit and got my Tae Bo on. I did absolutely nothing on saturday but go shopping for Thanksgiving food. I purchased some hot flavored beef jerky for our asian super market and almost threw up because it had a hairy texture plus it smelled and tasted like DOG FOOD. I was traumatized to say the least. I ended up giving it to my dog Ramses when I returned home. Tony and I ate Grilled lamb chops with steamed broccoli and vegetarian baked beans. I also drank half a beer.
Sunday: Work again, I had left over cereal and yogurt from Saturday so that took up my morning eating. For lunch I went to the stir fry section of Shaws and had them make me veggie stir fry (teaspoon of oil) with the sauce on the side. It was yummy, I added in a few small pieces of grilled chicken and 1 small piece of pork and 2 small pieces of beef. All in all it was yummy and spicy.
My mom (who live with me) decided she wanted to try Tae Bo with me. I knew I was going to be in for some laughs when I said sure. Surprisingly she made it through the whole thing. She also showed me exactly where I get my un-coordination from. It’s obvious that I need someone to exercise with in order for my to push myself because I burned close to 100 extra calories doing Tae Bo with her. After we did extra stretching we decided to do the Low intensity work out from my biggest loser dvd. That killed us literally and we had to just laugh but we both made it through. That totally made my whole week. I loved exercising with my mom. I vegged the rest of the night while Tony went to pick up the boys. For dinner I had all leftovers: roasted carrots,1/2 cup of vegetarian baked beans and 1 cup of steamed broccoli.
All in all it was a great week and a great weekend and it showed today on my weigh in! So happy *does running man followed by the cabbage patch*

3.5 lbs in one week? I can definitely live with that!!
Crab Rangoon, I have to do the whole bag. I can’t eat just one. Matter of fact, I’m gaining weight just thinking about it!!!
Oh it was definitely hard to just take one bite. I kinda had no choice though since it was my sons crab rangoons and he was already giving me the stink eye for taking a bite lol.
WOW! THat is a freaking awesome loss! Congrats!
And omg I love Chinese food. You’ve totally made me want some, haha.
Thanks!
I totally love chinese food too!
That is so amazing! Great job!
Thanks!!!!!
Hey…
Just thought I’d stop by to check out your blog. I’ll definitely be reading regularly – so charming! Just keep in mind that losing weight is a process and 3.5lbs in one week is FANTASTIC, girl! Keep it up and don’t get discouraged. Would you mind if I add your link to my blog?

Thanks!
I would not mind at all if you added my link to your blog, in fact I would love it!!! (overly excited sorry lol).
I will also add your link to my blog.
May I also add that I commend you whole-heartedly for having the strength and the willingness to share your weight so openly? This is something I have not yet had the balls to do – though I’m working on getting there. It’s not even that I’m not proud of where I am…because I am. I have announced how much I’ve lost and I know that people are capable of doing math…so they’ll know where I was – which I’m still fairly mortified by. So thank you. It’s women like you who have the strength to not only face that number, but to fight it as well, help to let me know that when I’m ready to share, you’ll be there to support me.
Thanks again.
I used to be super scared to reveal my weight but last year a few of my friends along with myself decided to do a group weight loss type of thing. The first stipulation was dun dun dunnnnn reveal your weight and how much you wanted to lose in the 3 month period. I went back and forth and almost had a panic attack, it was so weird for me because I am a very open person and a very confident person but revealing my weight had me scared. In the end I just said “what the hey” and I ended up telling my friends. They were super supportive and come to find out one of my friends was only about 15 lbs less than I was at that time.
What’s really funny is with all that I felt really empowered and all that but I still couldn’t tell my boyfriend (of 5 years, who I also live with..) how much I weighed. We sat down and talked about it and he let me know that when I was comfortable enough to tell him that he was ready to hear my weight and wouldn’t judge me. But like you said above saying the actual number was rough. He was cool though and he just gave me and hug once I told him and said he would be there for me while I lost the weight.
So while I won’t be able to hug you when you do finally reveal your weight, I will be there to support you and give you an e-high five when the time comes.
