||Weight Gain Journey|| Week # 2 Recap

Hey Skinnies,

Here’s the very late recap for Week #2! This past weekend I usually keep sacred as my “cheat days”. Cheat Days = Give myself permission to eat any kind of way without judgment. I hardly ever take advantage of the cheat days but I still keep them in place to be sure I stay on track five days a week. At this point I’ve trained myself (and my taste buds) to enjoy real foods. I no longer care for fast foods or any other crappy junk foods like I once did less than a year ago. However, because I’ve been on the go lately, I was very close on Sunday to riding through the KFC drive-thru to order some boneless chicken. And then I started to think about how it’s cooked and my face being greasy, so I passed on that thought. J

As you may remember on my latest Confession #4, I shared how I reached my 2lbs a few days earlier than the complete week. But once the weekend arrived and my schedule was constantly booked doing something, eating wasn’t a priority. By Sunday, I lost 1lb and I went into overdrive to gain that 1lb back. By Monday, I gained my 1lb lost and was ready to start the week in the right direction. How did I gain the weight this week? Easy: Exercising, Potatoes, Green Smoothie Recipe, and using my Food Diary.

Now I’m aware 2lbs means nothing to some of you. But to me, I can “FEEL” the difference. When really examining myself after the 2lbs and exercising I noticed some positive improvements. My arms are starting to take shape as well as the overall frame of my body.

The area where I need to seriously work on is my gut. Again to some of you wonderful readers, you see my gut and think that there is no gut. Since I’m in my body 24 hours, I noticed the bulge and I’m on a mission to put a stop to it. If I don’t stop it now, the extra pounds will continue to make its way to my belly and possibly create a “muffin top” effect. NOT happening!

So on to the new week and new weight! I think I have my staple foods that I rely on most but I’ll share that in my next recap. I need to be for sure that my staples are foods I can truly rely one for 2lbs a week. It is official I am now 20lbs away from my goal. Woo Hoo!
