End of week 3 (day 16)

So I have not blogged in a while to be honest it not my favorite thing to do but here we go.

Its day 16 on the BWLC  and we are almost to the end of the third week. Had many food challenges this passed week, actually they were all in one day. It was Jennifer's baby shower and Kevin's holiday party. I needed to make the decision to go off program for the day or just make good choices.  I am happy to report that I did stay on program (for the most part) I only escaped with a few B.L.T's (bites, licks, taste) of cake at Kevin's party. What calories I did ingest I think I may have burned off dancing in my 3"sexy heals.

Over all the actual diet part of the plan is going well. I try to eat as natural as possible. Meaning no white stuff and little to no processed foods.I drink a cup of coffee in the morning, a tea in the afternoon and as much water I can stand throughout the day. I am happy to report its been 13 days without a diet coke. Its the longest I have ever gone with out drinking a diet coke and really I don't miss it. Ok that's a lie, I do miss the sound the can makes when you open and the bubbles tingling down my throat. What I don't miss is the bloated feeling I always had. Another positive attribute is I am not hungry and contently thinking about food. Sugar craving have subsided. Skin looks great. I have a bit more energy, looking to have even more.

Challenges for the up coming week. Thursday we have our official weigh in and body fat composition. Dan and me set my goal to have lost 10 pounds by this time. I have already loss 8 I am just afraid I won't lose the extra 2 in a week. Another challenge is pushing myself hard enough with our exercise. I know I can be doing more but recent knee pain is holding me back. Not sure if the pain is muscles and ligaments getting stronger or if I am causing actual damage to my knee. If not better soon I will get checked out by the doctor.
