First, I'm wearing an outfit from the archives and it must look good because people keep telling me how nice I look. Well, either that or it's bad and they just don't know what else to say. Ha!
I was going to let you be the judge, but for some reason, I can't upload pictures today. Weird.
Anyway, this is a super happy day. First, my beautiful friend Ronnie got engaged and that is just fantastic. I love that she is so happy!
Second, I had a great weigh in day today. I decided that Mondays just didn't work for my weigh in day. I'm always bloated from the weekend and I can't get a good read on things, so I have changed it to Wednesday. I can do whatever I want, right?
It works out because I started this latest adventure on a Wednesday anyway, 1/02. I'm thrilled to say by 1/09, I was down 4.4 pounds. Today...I'm down another 2.6 pounds. I couldn't be more proud.
I will say that it has been truly difficult. I'm hungry most all of the time and it feels like old school dieting. I have a fill scheduled on 1/24 to help curb my hunger so I can focus on portion control. I don't want much, just a tweak so my stomach isn't growling after only an hour after eating.
I decided that I was stressing myself out about CrossFit, so I put it on hold for February. My plan is to continue with what I'm doing until March and then reevaluate. I just don't want to mess with the success I have going. I realize that it has only been two weeks, and there is a LONG way to go. But, honestly, this is the best I have done in a really long time and I'm happy and proud.
I do the aerobic workouts on the elliptical. So, it goes like this:
- 2 min - regular pace
- 1 min - focus on pushing arms
- 1 min - focus on pulling arms
- 1 min - sprint
- 1 min - keep between 2-3 mph (which is hard to do after sprinting!)
- 2 min - lower body only
- 2 min - go in reverse
Hope hot gym guy is down there again today. He helps the time go a little faster!!
