1. Recap of the week

Food:

Food was really good except for the 2 lunches that I ate out. One was a day date lunch with DH because he going to be gone this weekend. One was Monday because I don't have the ability to say no to eating out with friends.

Workouts:

Awesome! I went to the gym 5/7 days! Did strength for 2 days and cardio all 5 days.

Miscellaneous: I need work on my will power. I was also reminded this week how much I really like my DH when it is just us. We have had a couple day dates recently and some lunch dates that really have let us reconnect after having DD. Which has turned into more adult time in the bedroom and more quality time together.


Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related)

I am on 2.5 weeks of no soda and I am not craving it anymore. I am trying not to let soda be my go to drink anymore, I get easily addicted to it.


2. Plan for the Following Week

Food:
Starting a Whole30; I have never done one before so this should be interesting
Workouts:
I want to try adding in a 3rd strength day with cardio and try to add in a daily burn routine- Not sure if I want to do this in the morning before the gym or in the evening before bed.

Upcoming challenges:

Starting the Whole30 is going to be hard. I expect that this will even more difficult with valentines day coming up. However, DH is aware of what I am doing and is willing to make me a compliant meal that night. H

Bonus: Are you a morning, afternoon, or evening workout person and why?

I am a morning person. I would rather get up at 0430 then try to workout after work (no ability to work out at work) By the time I am home I just want to be done.

I haven’t worked out this week but am running a 5k tomorrow (it will be below freezing - ugh). I made 14 workouts in January and ran. I’m down 7 pounds and have decreased my body fat percentage. I don’t test again until April (InBody testing) so really want to see a muscle gain in my next test.

Airrosti is amazing. I am sometimes pain free. My hip flexors are functional again. Still working on stability and PT at home 3x a Day is a beat down, but it’s WORKING.

Also for those who haven’t tried it - My Fitness Pal really helped me nail my
Macros.

Recap
Food: Decent, other than clients keep bringing me really yummy treats. Fresh homemade tamales, fresh homemade bread, and yummy bakery cookies all this week. Having dinners planned out that work best for me really is helping along with eating salads for lunch.
Workouts: lots of office walking but my feet/legs are way swollen when I get home so I've done lots of legs up the wall yoga this week.
Next Week:
Food stick with salads for lunch and meal plan for dinner
Workout: 10K in steps each day, full yoga workout 2 nights


Bonus: afternoons which only seems to work during the summer months. I'm way exhausted after 11 hours days during tax season to work out in the evening or mornings.

1. Recap of the week
Food: great all week, until right now. I just polished off a bag of Sun Chips. It was 3/4 of the way gone, but it came after a couple glasses of wine.
Workouts: 1 run and 3 crossfit. Today's CF workout about freaking killed me.
Miscellaneous: The scale has not moved in like a month. I'm trying to ignore it since I KNOW it will eventually.
Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related) I managed to go to bed before 10pm twice this week. I REALLY need to do this more often.

2. Plan for the Following Week
Food: We are going OOT for an overnight with some of our friends tomorrow. It will involve long island ice teas and pizza breadsticks and I will have zero regrets.
Workouts: Run tomorrow, CF Monday and Tuesday, then walking TBD.
Upcoming challenges: I am having a cyst removed from my leg Wednesday that I am sure will involve stitches but I'm not sure what my restrictions will be. I only briefly talked to the NP about the procedure at my annual skin check last April so I have zero clue what my recovery will look like. I've been putting it off but I need to get it done. The kids are just fascinated with it and it's making me self-conscious.

Bonus: Are you a morning, afternoon, or evening workout person and why? Afternoon. My brain is still very much a high school student. My brain stops working around 3pm and then it's time for a workout, aka practice. Once DD starts STTN, I need to become a morning workout person again. My work schedule is getting less flexible, which is great for the bank account but not so much my workout routine.

Miscellaneous:
So, it’s been a terrible week. A terrible tragedy hit our community/family/Work so everything’s gone out the window. It will be good for me to have some normalcy next week.

Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related)

Not right now.


2. Plan for the Following Week

Food: meal prep: same old stuff-salads with chicken, cut up veggies, shrimp. Dinners are planned out and I’m not going to drink like I did this week.

Workouts:ok let’s get back to this! I plan to do 2 morning treadmill interval workouts, one group run, and 2 strength trainings.
Upcoming challenges:


Bonus: Are you a morning, afternoon, or evening workout person and why? I used to be a morning person. I loved the feeling I had throughout the day. I could get up at 4 something and I was committed. Since October for some reason I’ve had this mental block going in and I have a realllllly hard time getting out of bed. So I’ve depended on Night workouts and they just aren’t happening. I keep trying to repeat a quote from Elle Kemper, “there’s a 100% chance I’ll feel better when I’m done.”

So I did not update last week, but I’ve been getting sick of my treadmill workouts. So I tried a HIIT workout off YouTube that was supposed to be for beginners. 20 minutes long. Made it to minute 11. Can barely move. 👍
