Looking Fine by 2009: Week 2 – oh no!

Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my email newsletter yet?

I am challenging myself to be Looking Fine by 2009!

Progress on eating healthier foods: much better. I’ve made a menu for the week. I’ve been eating fruit and veggies and meat more. Yet, I gained 7 lbs from last week. I think my scale is broken. I have been eating like I’m famished. I think if I scale down a bit, I might be better. And cut out fast food completely. No more chocolate shakes – my weakness.

Progress on working out: I did significantly less of that this week. I think it could contribute to my weight gain.

Progress on drinking more water: I’ve been craving water like no tomorrow, so I haven’t even kept track. I know I’m getting more than enough

Week 2 Measurements

  • arms,thighs,hips,waist: not happy and not going to measure. I’m sure they’ll be about the same as they always are. When there’s significant weight loss, I’ll do it again.
  • weight check: 160 lbs (gained 4 total)

  1. I’m going to start “snacking” but in the healthy way. Fruit and nuts and the like. Or so I say this morning after weigh in. :)

  2. Hang in there! I know it must be frustrating to be eating healthier yet gaining weight. I definitely think portion size is important, but it could also just be a weird time of the month. You have to take it all into consideration. One thing I’ve read is that you should eat only when you are hungry and eat things you love, but stop when you are full. That means really slowing down and paying attention to your body. I tend to eat because it tastes good and then eat way too much. Healthy food is great but if you are eating too much of anything it can be dangerous. Good luck!

  • Look for Less: Reese Witherspoon
    Cute, cute, cuuute! I love this outfit, and I especially love it on Reese Witherspoon… it’s such a carefree, all-American look, and, as you know, comfort is a huge plus in my book! On top of all that, I also like that this ensemble incorporates some of the season’s trendiest items: the safari (or some might say military) jacket and the fedora (some might say […]
