Ok – this is starting to get a little embarrassing – sorry Britney, but if I’m going down you’re coming with me 😉
My weight and inches have crept back up….. So now I am forced to put myself out there once again because apparently I have to shame myself into getting and staying in shape…. Ugh, is this happening to you too?
For me could it be because…
1. My job is getting in the way of my workouts – which is seriously pissing me off – no more booty camp.
2. My stress level is super high and a glass of wine or two takes the edge off – Alcohol is the devil to weight loss – we all know this right?
3. My energy level is super low even though I feel like I get enough sleep.
4. I feel overwhelmed, disappointed and stuck – Oy and I know what to do!
AND I know these are nothing but a BIG FAT EXCUSES… So I’m challenging myself and you, if needed, to GET A GRIP!
I have gone to spinning, I have been stretching, I did start to walk on the treadmill here and there, I did do the leg bomb workout last week. I did bring my gym stuff to work today so I could get my butt to the gym….
I’ve been afraid to weigh or tape myself, because yes, I am back in a size 6 – not horrible mind you, but even those are even starting to feel tight – I feel best in a size 4 – which is me at about 135. Right now my consistency sucks…. so for the next 8 weeks I am going to be consistent with my meals, with my workout and with taking care of my body mind and spirit.
Here is the drill –
I need to work on a plan that is do-able. I need to get my head back in the game – I need to put myself first – I need to start slow – which is what this week has been about. Next week I’m taking a little hiatus, but will have a guest post come out on Wednesday.
So here is what I have so far ….
Each morning I will stretch and do sun salutations to wake up my body and mind, and I must admit it feels really good. I also like moon salutation – just not sure if that is pushing it.
I need to plan my food again weekly, I need to start moving – right now that is going to include walking and stretching….. I don’t have the week planned but I did plan for today -which looked like this:
AM: Stretching and 2 sun salutations (these will slowly increase)
Breakfast: Oatmeal, apple, walnuts, blueberries with cinnamon and stevia.
AM Snack: egg whites and green beans
Lunch: Salad with 5 jumbo shrimp (tons of veggies 😉 )
3 PM Workout: Couch to 5k week 1
PM Snack: Protein smoothie
Dinner: Haddock, green beans and Salad
I will also be doing a video blog each Saturday for accountability. (Because I’m away next week I will do this on Friday 3/1 and Sunday 3/10….
I hope you will join me…. xo
