No More Cheating! 8/1/11

Not a single pound was lost last week!  Not even half of a pound!  Good news though, nothing was gained either.  I stayed at an even 258.5, so I guess that part’s good.  I couldn’t believe that I didn’t lose anything.  Well, I’ve decided that there shall be no more cheat days/meals!  For the past 2 weeks I have incorporated these cheat days into my nutrition and for the past 2 weeks my weight loss has been minimal at best, so no more!  This week I am re-disciplining my workouts and nutrition and am DETERMINED to see some great results for the weigh-in this weekend!! 

Weekend re-cap:

Friday: It’s so strange but I honestly cannot remember what I did after work!  I know that I cooked Honey-Chipotle Salmon, sautéed broccoli and mushrooms and lemon rice for dinner… but that’s all I remember (and I only remember that b/c I read my food plan from Friday’s post! Lol)  Apparently someone from MIB did the flashy-thing in my eyes and erased Friday evening from my memory… hm… Conspiracy is afoot.

Saturday: I fed Nora breakfast then my sister and I went to the gym!  I did ½ of the C25K (ran out of time) and then Krispy and I did Zumba!  I forgot how much I like Zumba!  It felt good J  Then, Branden sent me a text and said he was going to jump soon (skydiving!) so I rushed home, changed shirts, made a quick protein shake, grabbed Nora and headed to Middletown, OH to watch Branden and his mom skydive!  It was pretty cool!  Well, actually it was like 100 degrees and smoking hot but you know what I mean J

After skydiving, we came home (too late to dance the fundraiserL) and I worked in the garden for a couple of hours.  After that, I didn’t feel like cooking dinner so I sent Branden to La Badiya in Erlanger and we got some DELICIOUS Mediterranean food!  It all tasted really fresh and relatively healthy but WAY more carbs than I would typically ever eat.  That was definitely a splurge meal! 

Sunday:  Went to the gym first thing and did a full C25K session.  Went home, weighed-in (disappointingL) and then started working on cleaning out my spare bedroom.  Throughout the course of the day, I cleaned out the spare room, finished cleaning out my back garden bed, organized and de-cluttered my kitchen and hung pictures/art throughout the house.  Watched True Blood (obsessed!) last night then put my little girl to bed. 

This morning, I woke up on time(!) and went to the gym and did the following:

TIME	ACTIVITY	REPS	LBS	SETS
26 MIN	C25K WEEK 2!	SEE BELOW	N/A	1
	6" KILLERS	10	N/A	3
	SINGLE LEG BICYCLES	15 EA LEG	N/A	2
	BALL CRUNCHES	20	N/A	4
	DUMBBELL SIDE BENDS	20	20	4
10 MIN	ELLIPTICAL	FAST	N/A	1

I worked up one hell of a sweat and felt great when I left!  Ugh it felt so good to get in a good workout and follow an actual prepared workout plan.  I’m excited to go back tomorrow! J

I’m FINALLY on Week 2 of C25K!  I’m excited to actually move beyond Week 1 lol.  Here is the Week 2 workout:

TIME	ACTIVITY
START	WALK
5:00	JOG
6:30	WALK
8:30	JOG
10:00	WALK
12:00	JOG
13:30	WALK

I’ve been jogging at a slightly faster pace than normal and I’ll be honest, this workout was a bit more challenging!  I think that is partially due to the fact that I did my final Week 1 yesterday and didn’t take a day of rest… so hopefully when I do #2 for Week 2 on Wednesday, it won’t be as hard J  As the jogging portions get longer, I’m going to slow my speed a bit.

Well tonight is open dance in Rabbit Hash… my brother-in-law is coming in town today so I’m kind of hoping that Branden and Nora will go visit so I can go dance J.  We’ll see!

I suppose that’s about all I have for today!  Countdown to NYC is at 2 ½ weeks!  I’m getting REALLY excited to go but I know that I want to BUST IT as much as possible before it’s time to jump on that plane! 

Hope everyone had a good weekend… until tomorrow J
