Another 2.5 Bites the Dust

Lost another 2.5lbs last week!  Honestly, I was expecting a bit more considering how hard I worked out.. but when I thought back on it, I did more weight training than cardio.  I could very well have lost more fat, but in building muscle, I'm not going to see the difference on the scale.  Of course I would like to see it on the scale - but hearing people say that they can "see a difference" is also rewarding. 
This week I have decided to switch things up a bit.  I am going to focus more on cardio and less on weight training, and see how that works out for me.  I'm also cutting my carb and sugar intake down quite a bit. 
I didn't make it to the gym this morning, (not a great start to the week, I know) I was just exhausted and mistakenly set my alarm for 5:30 and then Nora woke up right around then too, so I decided to just stay home.  I would like to say that I will do something at home tonight but I find cardio MUCH harder to do at home than weights.  Unfortunately, I don't have a good space for cardio.  However, tomorrow I will definitely be going to the gym.
Food-wise, I wasn't the greatest this weekend.  Friday night, I ate 2 homemade flour tortillas (which were AMAZING but I don't even want to see the nutritional content!), Saturday wasn't too terrible, raisin bran for breakfast, chips and salsa for snack, skipped lunch, nuts and raisins for another snack then fajitas with black beans (corn tortillas) for dinner.  Sunday was my worst day - raisin bran for breakfast, leftover fajitas for lunch, baked pork roast with carrots/onion/mushrooms and mashed potatoes for dinner... and then chocolate explosion ice cream cake for dessert.  It was delicious.  The end.

I'm also trying to cut down on the amount of food that I'm eating daily.  It's 9:45am and I'm hungry.  I'm trying to ignore it and hold off until about 11am for my snack.  I need to get some water, that will help fill me up.  I need to shrink my stomach a bit so I can get accustomed to eating less/smaller portions again.  So, for the next couple of days, I'll probably be hungry.. but then I'll adapt to my new eating habits. 

Anyway, that's about all I have for today.  I'll post updated workouts tomorrow after I figure it out a little better.
