Yikers! Several good-bye parties this week and I made healthy choices in the beginning but I will admit by the third meal out, I caved. My weight gain doesn't entirely reflect an intake of an extra 10,500 calories this week. I ate more than usual but I didn't go buck wild. Part of the issue was the increased sodium and decreased water intake. I expect that I'll be back to 160 this coming week. Yep, that's a bold prediction!
Packing. Moving. New job Monday. Gotta make a plan then work that plan.
The GOAL and PROGRESS
Height: 5'1-1/2"
Starting Weight: 168 (11/2010 - weight before beginning my high raw diet journey; lost 6lbs then regained 2+lbs over the holidays)
Goal Weight: A STRONG 110
W1: 164.6 (01/01/11)

Week 7 Weigh-In + Brief Update
We are in the middle of moving from Arizona back to Southern Cali (yay!) so my updates will be a little sparse until we're all settled. I'll give more deets in another post but I'm excited to be starting a new position! There's just a lot to do in the next couple of weeks. Packing counts as a workout, right?

My goal of being in bed by 9p is not going well and will likely not until the move is complete. I am going to continue to focus on increasing water intake and of course, keeping up with the workouts. The part I love about Turbo Fire are the quick (yet, super-intense) workouts.
Hope you're off and running towards a great week. Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget to look in the mirror and appreciate how beautiful you are!

Week 6 Weigh-In
Okay, weekly weigh-ins are humbling but also motivating so I gotta keep plugging away. The results won't always be positive but I do need a place to remain accountable. My blog is that place.
Here we go!
The GOAL and PROGRESS
Height: 5'1-1/2"
Starting Weight: 168 (11/2010 - weight before beginning my high raw diet journey; lost 6lbs then regained 2+lbs over the holidays)
Goal Weight: A STRONG 110
W1: 164.6 (01/01/11)
W2: 163.4 (01/08/11) -1.2
W3: 164.0 (01/15/11) +0.6
W4: 160.0 (01/21/11) -4 WAAAAHOOOOOO!!
W5: battery died (01/29/11)
W6: 162.0 (02/05/11) +2
My focus this week is water and sleep. My eating has certainly not been the greatest but even with spot-on intake, I need exercise. Truth be told, I'm not into exercise when I'm tired. I'm about pressing the snooze button to get it all in. The benefits of water are well-known and I've just got to increase, increase!
Bed calls! Have a good night!

What I'm Eating
So, as I mentioned here, this website has inspired me! I made modifications to most of them and even made some of them non-vegan. In the end, they were all delicious and I'm basing this week's menu around more of Lisa's creations.
Here are some pics of the recipes I tried. Pics were taken with the cell cam. Recipe deets can be found on the site.

| Deviled Avocados (I used Greek Yogurt in this recipe instead of the Macadamia Nut Mayo) |
 |
| Grapefruit Pear Salad |
 |
| Ingredients for the Fruit Cereal (I added apricots) |
 |
| Fruit Cereal without the Almond Milk |
 |
| All ready to eat! |
I ate many of these dishes for many meals and was very content. Already have my list ready for this week. Can't wait!

The Stats - Weekly Weigh-in Returns
So, it's time to put it all out there. I started the weekly weigh-in blog in 2009 but fell off as I became discouraged with the slow progress. I'm in a much better frame of mind and have found a way of eating that helps to minimize the IBS flare-ups.
I'm still following the Turbo Fire class schedule and LOVING it! The music, Chalene. . . it's a great program. About two or three days a week I sneak in a second evening workout.
Without further ado. . .here are my stats!
The GOAL and PROGRESS
Height: 5'1-1/2"
Starting Weight: 168 (11/2010 - weight before beginning my high raw diet journey; lost 6lbs then regained 2+lbs over the holidays)
Goal Weight: A STRONG 110
W1: 164.6 (01/01/11)
W2: 163.4 (01/08/11) -1.2
W3: 164.0 (01/15/11) +0.6
W4: 160.0 (01/21/11) -4 WAAAAHOOOOOO!!
W5:
That's it! See in you a week.
