I could be discouraged by lack of change in inches, but I'm not. I could be upset and give up when I make a mistake, but I won't. I may wake up some mornings craving cake, but I know what cake tastes like and how failure feels. I want something new, something I've never felt or tasted before way more than I want want cake. I'm determined to make this time different. This will be the time I don't go back to my old ways. I will finally reach my goals and feel success.
Wednesday: How to stay on track when out for Mom's Night.
Step 1: workout before, because then you won't want to screw up your hard work
Step 2: bring your own food..yes, really, no one will judge you :)
Step 3: drink lots of water
Step 4: pack healthy snacks so you don't eat popcorn and candy
I really wanted candy, but....see paragraph one.
Thursday: Summer's great for getting your steps in. Lots of fun places to take kids with lots and lots of walking, or tripping and falling up the stairs...I wouldn't recommend that second part. OUCH! I hit the gym that morning for some strength training.
Then we headed to the zoo, or so we thought. I had NO idea it was dollar zoo day when I planned our visit. Thankfully we got a heads up on the way and decided to visit the aquarium instead.. Still lots of walking and calorie burning. :) After our visit to the aquarium I attempted to do Lower Fix Extreme with a friend, but it as a crazy idea considering I busted my knee on the stairs at the aquarium.
Friday: Splash, dance, celebrate.
Seriously, could summer be anymore fun, or busy? I almost what to stay home year round....almost. We hosted "Splash Day" for our neighborhood preschoolers group. The sun and company, and chance to relax was good for my knee.
Workout/s of the day: Cardio Fix Extreme & Hip Hop
Followed by a combined birthday celebration. Of course I brought my own food & successfully avoided all sweets and treats.
Saturday: It's ok to eat out, occasionally.
Today's workouts included: Dirty 30 Extreme & leisurely swimming :)
We went out to On the Border with a friend. I planned my day out so that I would have two fats left, 1 starch left, 1 1/2 lean protein servings left, and two veggie servings left and had fajitas with corn tortillas, pico but no cheese or sides.
We went swimming with friends afterward. I brought my drink of choice, La Croix, as a switch up from plain or lemon water.
Sunday: Yoga & rest
This is the day I kinda recover, give my body a break, and slow down! We went the the community pool as a family and spent the evening with neighborhood friends.
Monday: Doubles & Soccer
Home workout: Plyo Fix Extreme with 15 thousand interruptions. (a little exaggeration)
Gym: Conditioning for my first 5K
I'm just starting the busy life of a boy mom, so I have no idea what craziness lies ahead. We had soccer camp at 7PM, you know right during dinner time, so I packed our dinner before the gym and swung by the house after the gym to pick up the food and Dad. Tripp and I ate in the car on the way there. I knew if I waited until after I'd be so hungry I'd lose my mind and binge on something I shouldn't have.
Tuesday: STAY at home Day!
What?! A day I actually don't get out and do something?? That's crazy. I'm a busy body, have to always be on the go doing something, but my car that I just got in January broke down on me and I didn't want to drive the jacked up Tahoe any great distance, so hot home we'll stay until we run to the grocery store just to get out of the house.
Workout: Upper Fix Extreme & Hip hop videos on Youtube (specifically Fitness Marshall and Dance Fitness with Jessica)
No overall change but clothes that have been tight as fitting better, so that's a win in my book!
