End of Week 1

So I rode my bike most of the week in the morning before work. I used our treadmill on Saturday morning rather than ride my bike. I wasn't sure how I would do, because over the weekend I splurged a couple of times and had 2 pieces of carrot cake with frosting. So I thought for sure I was going to undo everything I had worked on. But to my surprise when I got on the scale this morning I was shocked to see that last week I lost just over 4lbs. I know it's not a monumental amount, but considering I didn't really work out too hard and splurged with the cake and stuff I think it's pretty good. I decided that this week I was going to be SUPER strict on not eating stuff like cake. I also started a 3 week detox that is supposed to jump start my weight loss and actually make me lose some weight in the process. I have been on it since Saturday and I am already feeling a bit better. I was in THE best mood today even though I had to deal with stupid freaking veggie caps at work and trying to encapsulate with them. :) I know Sheena my wife will understand my frustration LOL. Anyway, with the detox, me stepping my workout up to the next level and being super strict with my caloric intake I'm hoping to come close to doubling my weight loss this upcoming week!
I'm in excellent spirits and I hope that these good moods and the feelings of confidence keep coming, cause I gotta say I like how it feels. I posted my weight loss on my facebook page this morning and I felt good to see the positive reaction from a few of my good friends.
I will keep updating my blog throughout the week, but I have decided that it's counterproductive for me to weigh in twice a week. On one hand I enjoy seeing where I'm at and seeing if I'm headed in the right direction, but at the same time I almost would rather wait and only weigh in once a week. I would rather see one big number rather than two small numbers. I think it mentally messed with me last week and may have had something to do with my lack of a huge number when I saw the two little numbers. Anyway, that's all I have for now, but I'll update everyone hopefully tomorrow. :)
