Day 10 & Day 11 - Weigh-In & Popcorn Experiment

Ok, so I decided to do day 10 and 11 together. Day 10 (yesterday) went really well. I had a ham and cheese tortilla fro breakfast, hot pocket for lunch a hot dog in a tortilla for a snack and a hot dog at the rangers game with a little bit of popcorn. I did run yesterday but not as much as I normally do because I was getting burned in the sun without my hoodie. I did a few more things at the house with the punching bag and dumb bells. All in all it was a nice day.

Today (day 11) I weighed in.....I was actually not expecting much based on the way I was feeling. Obviously was hoping for 275 but I knew I was not that low because I did not exercise much this past week. When I got on the scales I was at 278. Honestly I am okay with it because this is the first full week of my life I have done portion control and eating whatever I wanted. I still lost 2 lbs by not really doing a whole lot above just watching my portions. Yes I did some exercise but it was not much compared to the 9 miles I did in three days last week.

Next week I am actually wanting to try an experiment. I am wanting to try doing portion control but after 5pm the only thing I can eat is one bag of Orville Redenbacher's movie theater butter popcorn. I know this is kind of weird but I thought it would be fun to see the results. So my exercise next week would be the same and the only thing I am changing is the popcorn for Monday-Friday. When I weigh in next Saturday, we will see if I lost more than 2 lbs or if I turn into a popcorn kernel. Hopefully after next week I won't hate popcorn.

The following week I hope to step up the exercise a little bit. I need to do the type of exercise I actually enjoy like bike riding and basketball. Again I know I am not in a weight loss race but obviously the faster the pounds come off the better I will feel. Keep watching and don't forget you are allowed to leave comments......so tell me what you think of the popcorn experiment. See y'all next Saturday!
