I went home for Christmas and it was awesome!! I somehow lost weight while I was home too -- at one point I weighed in at 180. But it wasn't a Monday so it wasn't "official" in my mind. I still lost a little bit of weight over the holidays -- and I have no idea how! But I am grateful!!
With the start of the first full week of January, I am back in the groove, although not doing perfect, I am still trying.
Exercise - 20%
I was going to change up my gym routine, but when it came down to time crunch this past weekend and throughout my Christmas vaca home, I just didn't have the mindset to figure out something new. So, Monday morning I resorted to my Intermediate Day 1 routine, which was probably perfect because I needed to decrease my weights because I had taken so much time off anyway :/ #oops
Tuesday/Thursday are cardio only days - no weight training. My brother got me awesome swim gear for Christmas, so bright and early, 5am, I decided to go swimming! I only went for 15 minutes but that was enough to start. Then I rinsed and dried and attended spin class! It all felt really good. I'm going to continue with this routine for a while.
Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to afford any further classes at Time Trial for the weekends, but I did find out that my Tuesday/Thursday instructor is now doing a Sunday morning class at 9:15. How I wish it was on Saturdays though because then I could go to yoga on Sundays instead... Note: Need to research what LA Fitness clubs have a spin class on Saturdays!!
Nutrition - 80%
I healthy shopped, and I did plan out all of my meals, but yesterday I did cheat by the end of the day. I don't know why I do this because it's pretty much ruining ALL of the hard work I've put in all day. Last night while I was making dinner I was hungry and wanted to snack, so I had some of Josh's fried cheese curds. Then after dinner I didn't have anything to eat for dessert so I made some random cheese and sour cream roll ups in tortillas. Unnecessary after the steak and mushrooms I had just eaten! Next time I'll guzzle water and go to bed!!!
So far so good today with nutrition, although I do need to get in more water - I'm still working on my coffee from this morning and it's after noon! Need to hydrate!
So that pretty much sums up what's going on. Just need to stick with it as usual!
XOXOXO
