I figured I can still do some of my eating if I curb the eating on other days and upped my exercise and still loose weight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frog.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24156\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/glvsprucesup-checking-in-2\/frog\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/frog.jpg?fit=230%2C219&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"230,219\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"frog\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/frog.jpg?fit=230%2C219&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-24156\" alt=\"frog\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frog.jpg?resize=230%2C219\" width=\"230\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a>Well maybe it was the Chinese New Year&#8217;s dinner, the Granville Island food event, the indulgent afternoon tea, the slab of sour dough bread that I smothered in butter and accidentally ate late one night, the rich Sunday brunch or the Friday and Saturday night drinks, but this week I did not loose the weight I expected &#8211; what a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>After all I had a whole day juice cleanse, ate a lot of salad, and did cut back my alcohol. I actually thought before I typed the list of above weekly indulgences that I had done pretty well! Proof that you can&#8217;t really fool yourself or your body, you actually have to put in the work.<\/p>\n<p>Before I throw myself into traffic I am going to try to do something I don&#8217;t usually and instead of feeling guilty I will focus on the positive and what I learned this week. Firstly I have to congratulate myself on beginning running and sticking to a juice cleanse for a whole day (don&#8217;t laugh, baby steps), eating more veggie-based meals and drinking less. Then I have to remind myself that I really am going to have to drastically change my habits if I am going to get to where I want at a speed slower than a crawl.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24157\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/glvsprucesup-checking-in-2\/getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg?fit=706%2C1021&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"706,1021\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg?fit=706%2C1021&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-24157\" alt=\"Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg-207x300.jpg?resize=207%2C300\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg?resize=207%2C300&amp;ssl=1 207w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg?resize=600%2C867&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Getting_back_on_track_eat_clean_fitness.jpg.jpg?w=706&amp;ssl=1 706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a>Focus for this week is to track my eating daily and really focus on far more healthy meals with more nutrition and less calories on the plate. \u00a0Unfortunately I already\u00a0<strong>had<\/strong> to have a chicken wrap today that I thought wouldn&#8217;t be quite that greasy and I accidentally finished it (research) and will have to try some dessert later (I promised to write about it) so today&#8217;s goal can only be fit a salad in and only have one small bite of the ten desserts I have been sent to try; seriously.\u00a0I&#8217;ll report back next week.
