Weight Rundown Week 4: 5 lbs lost!

I'm a bit late in posting this since I was in Monterey this past Monday, but better late than never! Monterey was a ton of fun! We drove down Sunday morning with 4 of our friends and stayed until late Monday afternoon. We stayed at a cute little hotel just a few blocks from the beach, and each of our rooms had king beds and fireplaces!

Needless to say, we used our fireplace every chance we got! The aquarium was fun, and I even got to see one of their newer seahorse exhibits I'd never seen before







As you can see, we also enjoyed the food the 2 days we were there. I'm not big on Seafood, but I enjoyed some fish and chips from Bubba Gumps, chicken fettuccine alfredo, and a grilled chicken sandwich from the Fish Hopper (we ate there twice). Definitely NOT on my diet!

Turns out, my body disliked the 3 fatty meals so much that I was sick as a dog the day after we returned. It felt like my digestive system stopped Sunday/Monday and then kicked into high gear on Tuesday to expel everything it had been storing up. I have a feeling that had it been a single meal, everything would have been fine. However, given that I don't like seafood, there really aren't many healthy options in Monterey, and the 3 full unhealthy meals threw my system right over the top.

I didn't weigh in until Wednesday this week, and I actually ended up dropping 1.4 lbs after the whole food expulsion debacle. This puts me at 5.6 lbs lost in the past 3 weeks! woot woot! Given that I weighed in so late, I'm not expecting to see another drop before next Monday, but that's OK. As long as I can maintain, I'm ok with it!

Great pics Kristin. Looks like a lot of fun. My fave place to get away to is Monterey. Love that town so much. And I will say that the bubba gumps fish and chips are my fave fish and chips out there! I love that they use Mahi Mahi (which is high in protein so good for your diet). Keep up the healthy eating and losing a little weightb:)
