A little celebration

I am finally losing weight again! Yeah sweet success! I was at a certain weight or 1-2 lbs above for about 4 weeks. It was really frustrating. Going to my mom & dad's house for spring break kinda threw me off. Even though I mostly stuck to the plan I knew I was eating too much food. It was hard when my mom was cooking a delicious homemade meal and everyone was indulging while I was eating my salad. So to make up for feeling deprived I added craisens and extra cashews and protein to my salad. And a few extra crackers during the day or a few pieces of sugar-free candy. Although it threw me off for 3-4 weeks it also helped being there. My mom bought me a huge container of greens. And feeling obligated to not waste I ate 2 big salads a day. One as a side with my lunch and one as my main dinner meal. It helped me to see that I needed to be eating that extra veggie that the BFL diet calls for. So what am I doing differently you ask? I am following the BFL nutrition plan but I started recording my calories this week. I realized I was eating too many when I wasn't losing weight.  I was popping a small handful of goldfish or Cheerios here and there. Or eating an extra protein bar because I was having a stressful day. Those calories add up. I also increased my runs by 2 a day for the past 2 days and the next 2 days. I've seen results in the past when I increased my cardio to 2 a day (about 30-45 min. each session). I won't do it for very long; just a few days. Otherwise I'll just burn my body out. But I finally hit a number that I've been dying to see in a long time. And I did push ups the other day. I went from being able to do 12 last week to 16 this week. Yahoo!!!!
