I find that it's effective to have things to look forward to. On Thursdays, I get sushi for lunch instead of bringing lunch. It's an easy way to get in fish for the week. It has a bit of carb to it, with the rice. It's an 8 piece roll, which is plenty filling and low in Points for the day. And, it feels decadent, which feels a bit like cheating, which is fun. So, on Wednesday, when my zest for the lunch I made on Sunday for the week begins to diminish, I think about Thursday and that surely I can make it through another day of soup because sushi is coming. I also have designated Fridays as Caprese sandwich day. Because I'm obsessed with that sandwich. So far it hasn't negatively impacted my weight loss so I will stick with it either until it doesn't work anymore....or until I am sick of mozarella. Whichever comes first. :)
Tonight is my night off from working out. Swimming tomorrow. My running pace was a little slow last night at Greenlake but I blame it on the strong wind, having to run like it's a slalom course due to the park being packed with people on one of the first nice days we've had, and taking a very brief walking respite. But, I ran 2.8 miles instead of the 2.5 I've been running, so that's an improvement. It still feels a bit like cheating since last year I consistently ran 5k, but after this many months off from running I guess I need to ease back into it.
Even though I've only lost about 5 pounds, this week I've actually felt thinner. That's a great feeling.
