Week 6 Review

166.4 lbs
32% fat
49.7% water
32.7% Muscle

Those are better results! Earlier this week when I weighed myself I had gained 2 lbs ( I went from 168.2 to 170.2. And it stayed that way for 2 days, then I didn't weight myself yesterday.) Now I have lost 2 lbs from what I was last Sunday. It's so strange and annoying how my results fluctuate! Still, right direction! Here is Week 1 compared to Week 6. Week to week I don't notice much change and still looking at my gut I want to scream. It's not freaking toning like I want it to but I know I'm still way overweight and eventually it will go down. I like the results in my back though! I can see I have a curve! lol. I might not look half bad when I get in shape. :)  I got my bikini top out and ready for Spring! We're looking at 40 degree weather this weekend and I couldn't be more excited. Seriously, every day I look at the trees anxiously hoping to see some buds. At this rate I could possibly be ready to wear a bathing suit by June. My boyfriend said we can go to the MI dunes and stay the night at one of their cabins or something. Sounds really great! Eek!

This week I really focused on eating greens every day and I added some healthy super-foods to my diet.  I FINALLY got my tax return so I went to whole foods and got some really fun things. $95. Amaranth, Chia Seeds, Quinoa Pasta, and Flax Seed are what I was most excited about. I tried the Quinoa pasta with the Dave's Gourmet Red Heirloom Sauce. SO GOOD. Tasted just like regular pasta and it has so much added protein! I also started using the Chia Seeds. I wasn't sure how to incorporate them but I figured it out! You just add water to the chia seeds and they take on this jelly-like consistency. Then I used that in my Bombshell Spell instead of honey. So Pineapple Juice, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, Lime Juice, and Chia seeds. It's so yummy! It made me feel better throughout the day and I think it helped curb my appetite. It's either the Chia seeds of the Omega 3 gummies I started taking that I can attribute to the smaller appetite.

Then I also started watching my weekly intake of Carbs, Proteins and Fats. This website recommends 50% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 20% protein. I'm right there! I tried hard to watch my intake all week (before I even knew the recommendations). I think the added protein really, really helped. I'm 4% under for fat, almost 3% over for protein and 1% over for Carbs. I also want to take a look at my sodium. The CDC says 1500 mg of sodium per day is adequate. Multiply that my 7 days, and you're at  10,500 mg per week. I'm showing 9,592 so, again, I'm right there. I think they recommend 25g of fiber per day for women (175 mg/week) I'm at 143 so I could stand to get more fiber in there. Feeling proud of those numbers. That's pretty perfect results if you ask me! And then to show for it I lost 2 lbs. Let's just hope I don't bounce back up to 170! I swear to all things holy, I had better stay out of the 170's now! According to my calender I should be at 165 as of this past Friday so I'm a little behind but I'm thrilled that I'm staying so close! If I have a really good week, I could reach 163 (.9! probably) by this coming friday. Haha.
