Week 2 Wrap-Up



Friday night workout

B - My body is feeling stronger as each workout goes by. Yes, I'm feeling sore all the time but I'm not letting me hold back from doing more. In the past I would of made a quick excuse and would've laid in bed for days while eating Mcdees! LOL glad I'm not doing that!

L - I ran almost 4 miles on Friday night after work and almost 3 miles on Saturday morning. I hate running and its something I have avoided for years!!! I learned that every step seems so painful and hard but with Natasha running by my side giving me motivation I can do it! If you had asked me Friday morning do u think ur gonna run almost 7 miles in the next 24 hrs I woulda said Pssshhhhh ur crazy! There is no way I wouldn't pass out before the 1st mile!

O - After my run on Friday night I went out to DC for 2 of my friends birthdays. I observed that I felt so hyped, positive and glowing with pride! I texted all my close friends my accomplishments and their positive responses really had me smiling all night! I looked good in my party outfit and even got a compliment on my legs, LOL. Also, I was so happy that I wasnt' even tempted to drink even though my friends got a table and I had a whole bottle of liqour at arms reach the whole time! :)

G - Hmmmm so 2 of my 3 goals from last week didn't go so well. I was able to push thru the pain cuz believe me when I say I was in pain! But my consistant mealtime only really happened Tuesday-Friday at work, on the weekend it got challanged since i was in long training meetings both Saturday and Sunday. The food available to eat was loaded with carbs and cheese! and though I tried to keep my portions small being faced with a buffet style meal was not a good idea at all!!! I was so not ready to say no. :( So my portions got jacked up too.

S - setting next week's goals:


• PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE! My meal plans need to be planned ahead of time. The biggest challange I faced last week was with making substitutions with less healthier options such as eating 1 cup of my moms jasmine rice instead of taking time to cook my own brown rice.

• Cut out dinning out. In my life before the challange I would eat out about 95% of my meals and while I am looking at calorie counts and ingrediants now when eating out I'm still eating entire meals that would equal 2 of meals at home!! I've proudly stayed away from anything fried but I can't help but still feel guilty everytime I divert from my meal plan. I know I'll be out of town on Friday night and most of Saturday this week so I'll be packing protein bars and fruit for on the go and will stick to healthier cheat meals while away. Being strict with myself the rest of the week will be critical!

• Start increasing the amount of workouts I have per week. Aim to do 2 lunchtime workouts from the office gym and workout 2x on the weekend with Natasha and a nature walk with friends 1 day of my weekend as well.  Everyone else in the group seems to be working 3x more as me since I've been only been doing my 5 workouts (this week I did do 7! :) )
