Again…Me with the horrible updates.
Sadly, this one won’t be great, but it’ll be an update of what has
happened (good and bad) since the last update.
The last couple of weeks have been full of ups and downs since my last
update.
On day 30, I was so excited that I had finally finished 30 days of Power
90. It is not the longest I have made it
on a diet/exercise program (that’s about two months after my mom had a heart
attack four years ago), but it was the longest I have made it on Power 90 and
it’s the longest I’ve made it since then.
Then I found out I wouldn’t be able to work out on day 30 (or day 31 as I
would find out later) because I had a stiff neck.
That had me panicked.
I did go on to lose 2.6 pounds that week.
Then last week, on day 37, the air conditioning in our apartment went
out. It was 86 degrees IN the apartment
when I started the workout and it got up to about 92 by the time I was done.
Needless to say, I didn’t really do a great job on the workout. I only gave about 50 percent and I completely
skipped the kicks and punches, though I did do the Ab Ripper.
Now tonight, we did my weight and measurements and I’m down another 4.8
pounds this past week. That brings my
total to 19.6 pounds lost!!!
I can still feel it in my stamina, my breathing, and I’ve been getting so
excited lately because I’m able to bend lower and last longer. Not only that, but I’ve ACTUALLY got some arm
muscles! It’s AWESOME! :)
Now…I do have a couple of things to consider the next couple of weeks…
I’m only two or three weeks away from when I’m supposed to start Sculpt 3-4
and Sweat 3-4.
That said, I took a look at that DVD and I’m nowhere NEAR ready to go that
fast. So I think what I’m going to do is
do a COMPLETE round of Sculpt 1-2 and Sweat 1-2 for 90 days and THEN start it
again right. Otherwise I’m just going to
hurt myself.
The other thing I need to consider is that Jeff and I have a VERY busy
couple of months coming up and not really at places known for their healthy
eating choices: Next weekend we have the Dublin Irish Music Fest, two weeks
after that is my sisters bachelorette party, two weeks after that is my sisters
wedding, two weeks after that is the Michigan Irish Fest in Muskegon, and two
weeks after that is the Michigan Ren Faire in Holly, MI.
We are going to be packing a lot of snacks, but I am really scared about
screwing this up.
We are going to The Cheesecake Factory this weekend to treat ourselves but
we are going to try to go easy on the food.
We are bringing a lot of meal bars and snacks and almonds with craisins
and even some of our protein shakes, but this is why I “saved” all my bonus
points – No, you can’t actually save them, but better to not use them and not
be able to stick with the diet as well than to use them all and still not be
able to stick with it.
That all said too, we are bringing our workout DVD’s with us so we’ll be
able to still workout. I’m also going to
bringing a pad of paper and a pen so I can write down EVERYTHING I eat – Just
like always. I may not be able to find
all the calories and everything for all the things we eat, but I’ll be able to
see where I need improve.
I guess that is about it for now, my next update should be later this week
or right after the Dublin Irish Festival.
