Getting Healthy check-in 12/11/16

Down 1 pound this week. Just finished up the program I was doing (BodyShred Jillian Michaels) it was 8 weeks and I lost a total of 8 pounds, I wish I had thought to take measurements/pictures. Tomorrow I start Body Revolution so I took pics/measurement today so I can track better than by just weight.

Somehow, despite crappy eating and little exercise, I lost .4 last week. I'll take it.

I'm going to try and follow WW for a while (using the Ultimate Food Diary app). And I'm starting Couch to 5k--I ran my half using run/walk intervals, and I want to be able to do next year's without intervals. That starts on Tuesday.

This week is crazy busy with work and 3 holiday parties. Then We start celebrating Christmas--DH and I on Saturday night, with his family on Sunday. My goal is to make good choices but enjoy the celebrations--but just limiting it to the actual event. So for Tuesday, I'm going to run in the morning, eat a sensible breakfast and lunch, but enjoy my team holiday dinner (without going overboard).

I've been thinking about doing Body Shred. How did you like it?

Not the greatest week, between parties and being busy with school and eating out.

It's great.  Totally kicked my butt.  I really like that you switch workouts every two weeks so by the time I was starting to get sick of them it was time to switch it up. If you have done Jillian workouts before there is a lot of moves that are repeated from other dvds but I guess there is only so many different thing you can do...

I would recommend it though.

ETA: workout 7 was sent straight from hell

Back to my previous low of 171. The last 6 weeks have been hard. Everything happened: a friend passed away, my mother showed up aty house ranting about me not coming to a dinner she wanted me to because I went to friend's memorial instead (apparently funeral being a different day meant I was not supposed to also go to the memorial in her mind), annual review at work, lots of other work stuff, emergency root canal because the dentist overdrilled on a crown, there's more but you get the idea so yeah - fun.

Fiance and pup are still wonderful so 2017 will improve.

Hard to believe we are looking a little over 3 weeks left in the year. At this point I'm just trying to survive the month.

Goals for the week:
1) 3 days using the treadmill desk
2) hit step goal 5/7 days
3) test blood sugar daily

This will be my list for the rest of the month, but I'm just trying to take it one day at a time for now.

Weigh in is tomorrow and I'm hoping for a miracle. Between DH birthday dinner at Benihana and a couple xmas parties, there was much deviation from the meal plan.

But, in the win column, I did run my mile every day and am keeping up with most of my spin classes. I skipped Saturday because I was up with Meatloaf (the dog) who had acl surgery the day before. It's been a rough weekend on that front.
