4 & 5

I skipped posting yesterday so this one is a two for one special.
Day 4: Sunday. Hardest day of the week to workout in my book. It's the one day I want to be lazy and do nothing (and I mean nothing). But I was good, and did my shred. Hooray!!

Day 5: Today. I am kinda disappointed. My achille's heel is forever my diet. I binge at night. :( I was pretty good today at first...egg white omelet w/ spinach and feta, 1 slice of toast. Lunch was salad w/ turkey and cheese and a little bit of bread. Dinner was broccoli and rabe with a slice of papa's pizza. I had a tootsie pop as a snack before going to the gym. Then I got my parents and all hell broke lose...I ate cookies and cheese and pita chips. I'm sure in the grand scheme of things its not so bad, but I get so disappointed in myself when I do this. Binging makes me depressed and mad at myself. I dont want to eat that much!!! Hopefully it doesnt set me back. :( Today's excercise included: shred, zumba class, lots of jumping around.

Heres hoping for a better diet controlled tomorrow!

3.......is the magic number!

Hi Day 3!! Its Saturday, at 10:47am, and I already completed the shred workout AND went to spin class. WOOHOO!!! I am never sure in spin class if I am pushing myself enough...its hard to tell and I dont have a heart rate monitor. But I started a new mantra when my legs hurt and I feel like quitting. I repeat over and over to myself..."I can! I can do it!!" and guess what? I did. :)

Food yesterday wasn't ba. I had salad and some lasagna yesterday for lunch with salad. Before that during the day I had greek yogurt and an orange. Then for dinner, a veggie burrito. Hopefully we'll see some results soon! I'm trying, I promise :)

day deux

yay for day 2! shred workout complete. :) I watch myself do jumping jacks in the mirror and it doesnt even look like who I want to be. Hopefully the first 30 days and the shred will help kick some of the weight off so I can feel normal again.

I'm proud of my eating habits yesterday. I'm hoping I can continue it today. We have a business meeting at work and those tend to be hard to eat "healthy" at. We shall see. :) Also hoping to head to the gym tonight and get a workout in on top of the shred.

Happy Friday! 58 more days to go!

Day 1....again.

I feel as though everytime I try to start some sort of "fitness transformation", something tragic happens to my family. Last time I attempted a rehaul - dad had a heart attack. This past Tues (which would have been day 2), my new little baby neice...merely 12 days old herself...ends up in the hospital. I'm feeling very anxious now. I dont like my loved ones being sick, I dont like feeling stressed and overwhelme at home or at work, and I especially dont like that I'm starting to feel like my fitness goals will never come and that I am going to be a failure.

So I got up this morning and tried again. Day 1 revisited.

Last day 1 I finished my morning shred workout and manage 6 miles throughout the day, including a zumba class.

Tuesday and Wednesday I did nothing. :(

Today, Day 1 start-over, I just finishe my shred workout. Here's to hoping I still have success in me and I can achieve my personal goals without quitting or messing up.

Day one. Day one of sixty. 1.

Today begins my no more shit, time to get back into shape, no excuses lifestyle change. I have sucked over the past couple years and what used to be my normal (healthy eating, exercise, ect) self is now mostly a memory of what was me. So I think maybei f I blog about it I will be more accountable. So here goes.

6:30am - started the 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels. It was tough but she definitely is motivating. I'm mad at myself for having dip last night because I feel it still in my stomach. I feel like no matter how hard I try to focus I am always off with my diet. I'm hoping that bouncing around every morning at 6:30am will keep my focused.

Today my goals are: eat healthy, limit carb intake, make it to a dance class at the gym for a bit more cardio an go to bed without enough sleep to make it to day 2.

I can do this. I can be a better me. :)
