Happy Friday!! I love Friday's and I love today even more because it's my last day of work for 1 glorious week! I can't wait to be off next week and have some down time to get caught up on the necessities- laundry, putting clothes away, TV shows, books and absorbing as much sun as possible since the weather is supposed to be in the 80's all next week!! I'm so excited! Plus we're going backpacking this weekend, so I'm stoked for that too!
I'm on day 3 of my 7 week body challenge. The first day was horrible- low carb plus not getting to eat lunch when I was supposed to because the kiddo I was working with took alot longer than I expected meant I was a horrible grumpy person when I got home and had a headache as a result of waiting so long to eat. It took alot of will power not to go to Trader Joe's and get something to eat, but I really want to do well so I resisted. Yesterday was better- the cravings were only bad at night but I felt like I had a bit more energy and today is WAY better! I felt awake this morning and while it's hard to break the habit of coffee, I replaced it with herbal tea and it worked pretty well. So far I've felt good today. I had steak and veggies for breakfast and my snack of 2 tbsp of hummus and my cup of carrots and cup of cucumber and it was a pretty good snack. It was nice because it's warm outside so having the carrots and cucumber and the hummus was nice and refreshing. Lunch will be at 2 and it's leftover chicken and zuchini/squash from last night and dinner will be chili... yum! I can't wait!
Overall, I'm feeling better, definately less brain fog and not as sluggish as before so that's good! I ran a mile on Monday with a wod between each 800m and ran/walked about 3 miles yesterday with S and 2 friends plus got in an hour of yoga/mobility so that felt good! Today's workout is a partner workout of dips/box jumpover burpees/kettlebell swings and pushups followed by barbell lunges. It doesn't sound enjoyable, but I think S is willing to partner with me so that's always fun.. he's my favorite workout partner <3
I'm going to try to use this space as a way to hold myself accountable for my diet and my exercise for the next 7 weeks! I'm an impatient person so hopefully this challenge teaches me patience since results don't happen overnight! I plan to do a weekly check-in to track my progress so cheers to body fat loss and getting healthy and in shape again!
xoxo
