Tuesday
I ran a mile today. It felt pretty good! My feet didn't bother me! I didn't get my bike
in. I don't like to skip workouts because I
feel like it's a slippery slope. I spent the day at Valleyfair. No kids, just got to act like one :) I had so much fun! We planned ahead and packed a picnic. It was great because I ate healthy and stayed hydrated.
I just took some measurements since the first time a couple weeks ago. I've lost just over 2.5 inches on my waist!!
Wed
Today's workout was the same as Monday's. For some reason it felt much harder! I was drenched in sweat, working hard. I couldn't tell you why it felt harder, but it did. Even though, it was hard it still felt good. My intent was to get my bike in from Tues, but I tried to sneak it in, it just didn't work out. It's easier for me to sneak in a workout at home vs the gym.
Most of the exercises I've done have been ones I've done before or could perform. I've never really tried push ups on my toes. I was scared of not being able to do them and falling on my face in front of other people. So Hallie's been pushing me to do them on my toes. So much harder than on my knees! Well, I've been trying... Have I been nervous, meh, it's just the two of us. Finally, I'm getting it! I'm doing more on my toes, getting lower. It is such a great accomplishment! No more starting on the knees for me. Unless, she makes me do 5 sets. Lol! My arms are thanking me. I've lost about an inch on each one! I'm totally doing a happy dance right now :)
Thursday
Back to the bike for me. I didn't feel pain during my run yesterday, but today my left heel is sore. At least, it's just one and not both.
I only lost .2 when I weighed myself today. So frustrating! I was complaining about it to some friends. They asked what is say to them if they were in my shoes. I would be encouraging. Every little bit adds up. Thanks for helping me change my attitude around ladies. The good news is I've lost a little over 1.5 inches off my hips! If you are keeping track, that is about 6 inches!!
Friday
It's funny how the little things can make my day. Like when I'm coming to the end of my workout and I have a circuit left and there are no bicycle crunches. Lol! Those suckers are so awesome and challenging!
For my protein, I find it's easier to plan it out and break it down so it's not so overwhelming.
We are going out tonight.
Saturday
I woke up battling allergies. And my ear hurt. So no workout for me today. Just going to lay low.
Sunday
Feeling better today. I was power cleaning. I like to work up a sweat when I power clean, it's like a two for one. A clean house and a sneaky extra activity. I was outside walking and I twisted my ankle. Usually, I can walk it off. Not this time. It's quite painful. Luckily, I have a great family! My hubby is taking care of me and my Mom stopped over and finished my cleaning!
I didn't get all of my protein in. My plan for the day went out the window. I hope this doesn't keep me sidelined for long.
I'm starting my last week with Hallie. Thinking ahead to the future is hard to imagine getting off track. I know how easy it can be to let things slip and slide. I think seeing goals for myself will be helpful. Training for a race or working up to more push ups (on my toes) things like that.
