For week of 6/10 - 6/17/2015
Weigh in Weight: 157.0 lose of 2 oz.
Week 22 of my healthier living journey in 2015 was very busy and very stressful. Some of the stress was good and had to deal with Vacation Bible School which was awesome, yet again this year. Some of the stress was not good and had to deal with death and dying. So the fact that I lost a little bit of weight while being stressed and pregnant was quite amazing, especially since I had gained so much weight the previous two weeks.
I did pretty well with my goals for week 22. I even managed to write in my journal a few times, which is a goal I had not written down for the week. My daily exercise was to run after my toddler who wanted to participate in everything that had to do with VBS, as well as walks around town to do errands. We managed to somehow fit in a play date at the park, which ended in us all going for a walk around town. So I definitely stayed very active this week. But I did take advantage of some of the down time in the morning and afternoon to put my feet up and completely veg out while my toddler watched his favorite movies over and over again. I'm looking forward to getting out of that habit now that VBS is over, but it was okay for this week since most of it was very hectic.
Somehow despite the chaos traveling to Flathead Lutheran Bible camp over the weekend, and VBS, I managed to remember to get enough water and other mostly healthy fluids to drink. I drank about 80-100 oz of water a day. My constipation is still occasionally an issue but my water retention has not been too much of an issue during week 22. My legs don't hurt and I lost a few ounces of water weight.
As for eating low-sodium foods and meals, that is something I will need to continue to work on. Especially the last few days of week 22 with VBS, I haven't eaten as well as I should. At least I can correct a lot of my eating habits for week 23 so I'll be keeping this as one of my goals.
I'm not sure if I will have access to a scale for weeks 23 and 24, since I weigh in on Wednesdays. I will be traveling to Minnesota with my family to visit friends and my family there, but my mom might have a scale I can use. Every scale I step on gives me a different weight, so I'm tempted to wait until we get back on July 2nd to weigh myself then and not weigh in for week 23. I do plan to blog whether or not I weigh in for week 23, I just won't have a weigh in weight to post. Therefore, I will set some goals for myself and do my best to stick with them on vacation.
Goals for week 23:
1) eat low-sodium foods and meals
2) get at least 7 hours of sleep a night
3) journal at least twice a week
