3rd Weigh-In.

Life has been pretty hectic so far lately. Some friends came over last Friday and brought amazing, greasy, fatty, high calorie pizza with garlic knots. Now. I watched what I ate, and I decided that for that day, I would bump up my calories to maintain weight instead of lose, and I did a great job! All weekend my boyfriend was here, Tuesday I had school, and today I got a break, but really need to study for my test tomorrow. Uh-oh.

Anyway, I weighed in today. 174.0, down 1.2lbs! I am pretty happy, especially since I had to bump up calories and have been trying to figure out what works for me, etc. If I keep up this rate of weight loss, I will definitely hit goal of being in the 160s in a few weeks. I have never in my adult life been in the 160s. We shall see how this goes. I am fighting this battle and I want to win the war.

Also, one of my goals for the next 20 days is to drink more water. Yesterday I drank 2.25L! That is 76oz, and really good for my weight. My goal is to drink at least 1.5L every day, and I hope to make this a habit for the rest of my life if I can.

Yesterday I went to another zumba class, and I have to say that it was fun, but I have been sick with allergies and did not eat enough before the workout, and I started to get dizzy and black out and my dad thinks I was hyperventilating when I talked to him about it this morning. I decided that no matter what, I am going to eat more before a workout and wait until I feel better. I have done this workout before and was perfectly fine, so I really feel like since my airways are kind of blocked with mucus and crap, that did not allow me to breathe enough and take in enough oxygen, plus low energy levels. If it happens again when I am not feeling sick, I will go to the doctor.

There is one thing that has kind of bothered me lately, and it is that I cannot seem to eat enough. Breakfast tends to fill me up, and I find it hard to get all my calories in for the day! Crazy. But it is kind of stressing me out. So for now I will continue to eat and try as hard as I can, and see if I get more of an appetite after I start feeling better.

Anyway, I think that is all for now.
Peace, love, and happiness.

Love,
Erica
