Recap of my week plus weigh-in results.

Sorry about not posting yesterday. I did stay within my calorie limit yesterday, and I logged everything on sparkpeple. Unfortunately, I don't really know every exact thing I ate today to log on sparkpeople, but you can see the pictures below for a good idea of what I ate :)

I did weigh myself yesterday, and I had gained .8 lbs. Yes, I gained. Of course this was a major disappointment, but I have some suspicions as to why this happened:

1. I still need to quit drinking the Cherry Coke Zero.
2. I began exercising this week, which seems like it should make me lose, but maybe it messed with my body somehow.
3. I put way too much salt on my food.
4. I haven't been eating many fruits and vegetables lately.
5. Maybe 9pm is too late of a cut-off time for eating.
6. I had been eating under my minimum calorie goal until Thursday, when I began eating within my calorie limit.

So here are a few goals I'm setting for myself for this week:

1. Continue exercising.
2. NO CARBONATED DRINKS!
3. NO EXTRA SALT ON MY FOOD!
4. Eat at least 2 fruits and vegetable each day.
5. Cut off all solid foods at 8pm.
6. Eat within my goal calorie range.

Now onto happier things...my sister had her final bridal shower today. The theme was "Around the Clock," so everyone had a certain time of day that they had to base their gift on. She got some really nice gifts. I was so happy for her. Here are a few pictures of the absolutely delicious (not necessarily the most nutritious) food:



Some very yummy strawberry punch.


Mini wraps.

Veggie plate.

Little pastries with berries and whipped cream.


Mini cheese cakes.


I didn't even realize (until Wayne pointed it out
to me) that this was meant to look like a clock. Too cute!

Aren't these beautiful?!?






I won this clock for having a birthday closest to the wedding day (don't you just love winning things for being born?). I thought it was really cute! It'll look adorable in my dorm room. On the desk, maybe? Hopefully I can get a better picture later, once I've found a home for it.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

XOXO
