Hello Monday...

So another Monday.. another day to start the week off right...

Challenges for myself this week:
  1. Cut out caffeine
  2. Submit a progress weigh-in for my diet bet (annnnd actually make progress)
  3. Log everything - the good, the bad and the ugly
  4. Finish LIIFT 4 - we have 6 workouts left.  Who needs rest days?! 
  5. Figure out my plan for tackling my anxiety

So, quite a few challenges for the week, but what the hell, I'm game. Cut out caffeine: Hmm..they say caffeine doesn't help with anxiety. Go figure..  Gonna try to skip the coffee this week - and pop.  It'll just be good all around.  Submit a progress weigh in -- that part is no big deal -- the challenge will be to actually have made progress.  I weighed myself yesterday morning and {holy shit} I was up.  Friday and Saturday --- annnnnd Sunday were bad eating days. UGH. I suck.  But, no sense dwelling on it.  Just gotta move forward.  It was a great weekend, otherwise!!! Friends on Friday night. Friends on Saturday night.  Just a lot of laughs.  Well-needed! 

Log everything: So whether I'm 100% on track, or if I not only fall off the wagon, but let it plummet off a cliff and crash into a million pieces... I want to track it.  I want to own it and be accountable.  So I've started that today with my delicious bagel and cream cheese that someone brought in.  (yeah...)  While we're at it, I'll log the last of my workouts.  Let's finish LIIFT4 this week.  6 workouts to go - 7 days in the week.  We've got this!  

My biggest challenge is my anxiety.  I found myself standing in the supplement aisles of Fresh Thyme for quite some time on Saturday.  I was/am (??) planning on switching meds for my anxiety, but have also been trying to research more natural ways to manage anxiety and panic.  Trying to figure all this out is not a calming process LOL  Just trying to decide whether to start a new med right away or if I should try some supplements to see if they help first.  I know I'm going to cut that caffeine this week too.  I'd also like to try to (as I keep saying) get up early and do either some meditation or yoga for 20 min or so.  Sooo what to do!! What to do!?  Feel free to text or PM me if you wanna talk anxiety remedies :D 

I hope you all have an amazing week!  I'll try to post more often!

xoxo
Katie
