And today makes THREE!!! Three posts in a row…I’ll try to
make the day these come out more consistent, but until then…
They’ll come out when I say they’ll come out :p
It was a pretty good week, but a rough weekend.
This week, I added exercise back in to my routine and lowered my
calorie consumption to my goal-weight RMR…
It did not go exactly as planned.
I probably made too many changes at once and didn’t consider
how much sleep I should be getting (hint: 5 hours is not enough).
However, despite the current exhaustion I’m experiencing, I
was able to stick to my workout plan all week for 5 days straight. One hour a
day, plus ½ hour of yoga, full hour of yoga once on the weekend. The hour of exercise varied from my usual spinning
classes and biking outdoors to Jillian Michaels and Just Dance routines. I even
added in an hour long muscle sculpting class (that kicked my shrinking ass).
The weekend threw me a bit. I knew I was having family
coming over. I knew we were having a BBQ. I knew there would be booze, and I
knew I would have to clean house…
Then, my exhaustion really set in on Saturday. After being on my
feet for days straight getting my house ready for guests, pushing around a
heavy vacuum, I also ended up staying on my feet all day helping my dad prepare
the BBQ. I’ve never enjoyed sitting so much!
So, Sunday…I crashed. SURPRISE!!!
I woke up super late and also overate. On the bright side, I didn’t resort to my usual unhealthy, smothered in grease-like treats. Just some sugary goods with peanut
butter.
Everybody gets to crash, and I still dropped a few ounces, so, I’m ready to get back to it!
At about an hour and a half of working out daily, according
to Pete Thomas’s book (see previous posts), I should be dropping 2-3 pounds per
week. This should help me hit my goal in time. Stay posted!!!
That’s about it for now. I did want to share my motivational
board with you that’s hanging on a wall in my house:

| And most of those photos of me are only 20 pounds ago... and obviously, the "Game of Thrones" photo is a costume idea lol. |
It’s filled with my personal
affirmations, outfits I want to wear at goal weight, and my favorite photos of
me; any photo that basically makes me feel sexy lol. I think I’ll post it on my
social media accounts as well. Feel free to follow me (links under the “Contacts” tab),
and share your motivational board and tips with me!
And as always, hang in there!!!
