July Week 2 Accountability

WildMagelet

Continuation from this post.

So, how did it go?

Personally, I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to (which doesn't suprise me, I had a hefty order going) but I did have some victories.  

Fitness-wise I did get some of it in but not the 3x/wk that I wanted for both.  Guess I'll start over =( Since C25k is a 9 week program, and I've got 3 sizes of free weights I'll probably try to move my weights up through each 3rd of the program.

Food-wise I did a lot better.  I actually need to make a list of things we ran out of and go to the store today.  My "typical" breakfast has been granola (with nuts and raisins), yogurt, and almond milk mixed together topped with either a banana or strawberries.  We grilled out a few times and I took leftovers or ate a chef salad at lunch for work most days.  

I bought two kinds of "healthy" bread.  One of them was really heavy - I think I could get used to the taste but it's a lot less airy than regular bread so you really only need half as much to achieve the same level of fullness.  That makes the price not as bad.  FI hated it.  The other loaf got moldy before I got to really try it =(  Goodbye expensive bread... - we didn't even have it that long!    I'll probably buy another one to give it a fair shot but my pocket won't be happy about it.

I went through the fridge on Sunday and shucked corn, sliced vegetables, washed fruit & cubed cheese.  It was really easy to stay on track with the fridge already full of grab-and-go heathlier foods.  They were each in their own rubbermaid container so I could mix and match as I pleased throughout the week for salads, sandwiches, and grilled veggies.

My week was crazy at work..i ended up working from 3p to 3a the one night so my eating schedule was out of wack for 2 days. On top of that we had parties galore, although I did eat healthy...ish with only 2 cheat days..i had 2 smores and a bit more junk food than i eat...which is virtually never. Food shopping went great..i got loads of fruit that I've had for days and I made sire to get a variety, cut it all up and so its readily accessible. I even lost 2 lbs as of this morn lol

I did horribly food wise.  I'm not all that upset about it, setbacks happen!
That's pretty much my whole update though.  I think next week will be better, I finally have my FI willing to help me keep from over eating.  Now, when I go to snack, he'll casually ask "are you hungry?" That usually stops me in my tracks.

I did really well this past week. I stayed under my calorie goal most days and if I went over it was only by a few points due to parties.It also had to do with I went from 1700- 1300 calories(that was a hard step) I ran a mile three times this week and went to the gym 4 times this week. I lost one lb this week! I just hope that I can keep it up!!

keep it up

I'm super proud of myself. My yoga class was at a different time then I thought so I missed it, HOWEVER I hopped on the elliptical and worked out anyway. Sounds like we're all keeping up the work, with a few cheats here and there (I had a salted caramel cupcake today mm )

I was good and got in my weights today, shooting for SuTuTh this week.  Planning on running MW & F/Sa.  I go in 1:15 later tomorrow so I should have more than enough time and I'm off Wed-Thurs!  Friday might be trickier, so depending on what time I get home on Thursday I might try and do a Thurs p.m. run instead of a Fri a.m. one, if all else fails we close at 12 on Saturdays so I've got the rest of the day to make up for it!

No, it's just a) I'm a procrastinator b) a planner and c) not a morning person.  I had a hard time getting my runs in this past week because I didn't want to get up early enough to run + take a shower + get ready for work since I had to go early most of the week.  I work around other people and face to face with customers all day so I can't show up looking or smelling like I just got done with a run :)

I'm going to strat jumping on this:

I have been working out at lunch or after work at least twice a week, but I need to get to four! I was doing so good this spring, but have fallen off. I think this week is the time to get back to that.

Eating is ok, but can be better. I need to stop eating out and going back to porion control. I have made cabbage soup with beans to get more veggie intake. I have started drinking more water. All this is get sicking to me, as again, I was going so good this spring with all this. 

One postive thing is I have keep 10 lbs off that I lost this spring fomr my 15 lbs total. I have gained 5. Thats me.

I was so bad last week! Our anniversary trip was alllll about food! Today after work, I hit the gym for some C25K! I felt a little out of shape, so I did a repeat of week 3 day 3 because in week 4, you go pretty crazy with the running! Gonna try to hit the gym at least twice more before Friday- our one year out mark!! (Friday the 13th ooooh)

So far so good ladies!  Not exactly when I'd planned but its Tuesday and I have two days of weights and one run in so far

I did okay last week. I did a lot of working out until the fifth. I had guests on the fifth and didn't do a whole lot. Then we took a mini road trip to visit family. We went to FI's family reunion (and I finally got to see the venue! Love it!). We took Epics on Sunday and then drove home pretty late.

The good news is, I was good about not over eating and we did a lot of walking so I didn't gain back any of the three poiunds I have managed to lose so far!

The hair pulling has been a little better. My birthday was full of stress (Long Story!). The family reunion was a little better, except FI has a million cousins and they kept coming up (usually one at a time) saying they were so excited we were having the wedding at the family reunion and they were planning an extreme makeover of the chapel for us to use (we are doing it outside not in the chapel!) and we aren't allowed to look at the decorations they set up until they are done! O.O! When we left I turned to FI and was like "Oh heeeeelllll no!"
We made a plan to deal with all their excitement. My bangs were a little abused, but at the same time I was kept pretty busy and couldn't abuse them as much as my anxiety would have wanted.

I lost 3lbs all together now!!

I have lost another 2 lbs last week!  I am definately eating better.  More then anything I have to make sure I don't over eat.  I like the taste of food alot.  I'm glad I already ate fairly healthly.  If I can keep my sweet tooth under control and don't over eat I should be perfect come dress fitting time in a month and a half. 

As for exercising I jogged/walked with my pooch last week and did 45 min of aerobics Saturday,  Not having a fenced in back yard forces me to walk 3 times a day.  Unfortunately I don't always give her a good long walk but each one is generally speaking 5-10 minutes at least.  And when we go out and jog/run after work I try to do 30 minutes to an hour depending on heat and weather.

We had alot of rain last week so I wasn't able to get as much in as I wanted. 

I think I'm going to follow flutter and start pre cutting and packaging my healthy foods.  Have them ready to snack on instead of having to cut things up every time.  FI I know will do much better.  He's so busy with school and work all he has time to do is grab and go.  It will also keep me snacking healthier too.  Instead of going buy some Nutter Butters or ice cream because I'm feeling to lazy to cut my cucumber up I can just grab some precut slices!
