It's hard to believe that we're on week 4 of the 80 Day Obsession. Ultimately, I feel like Steve and I have been doing great. We haven't missed a workout that we haven't made up. That credit goes to Steve.....there's been one or two that I would've flat out skipped if I had been doing it myself. He puts up with my cranky self --- and by cranky, I mean 'Holy shit, she's a bitch!' --- and pushes me to get it done. Now, I am not going to lie and say that when I'm in that mood and finsih my workout I'm a whole new person full of rainbows, glitter and sunshine. No, I'm still pissed off. Still cranky. But at least I did it. That's only happened a couple times...and I feel bad about it, but it's me...it's real life...We did have Chicago over the weekend and I didn't make good choices. I didn't intend to. I fully intended to eat pizza, eat everything at the brunch buffet, and not worry about 'healthy' only. I ate too much. Drank regular pop. And did feel a bit gross after. But it was good... I was obviously up on the scale yesterday, but back down a bit today. I got everything in check and we even did the AWFUL Cardio Flow Sunday night. [Another one that I REALLY did not want to do] Inchworms will be the death of me. They are SO.HARD. I made it pretty much through the first set of all the moves before I broke down.....still one move I haven't attempted because I don't get it and haven't stopped to teach myself it outside of the rush of the workout... I'll try to do that before Saturday.
Yesterday I put together a meal plan for our week. We're back on track. I'm not having any peanut butter fudge that's here today either - WIN. Staying on top of my water. I've got this.
Life happens. There is always going to be something that comes up. It's more about learning not to let one splurge, one weekend, be your downward spiral. I've done that too many times. It's easy to do. It's easy to say, "Well, it was all weekend, what's one more day?!" But that one more turns into two... and three... and then you find yourself depressed with yourself and your choices and you just stop caring a bit. You avoid the scale because you know you've gained, but it doesn't stop you.. This has been my cycle. I'm breaking it now though. We've committed to exercise so that at least helps out. After this weekend we'll take measurements again and see the progress we've made so far. With phase 2 comes new exercises I think. It'll be a nice change of pace....although if I'm remembering correctly, I believe the one I hate most - cardio flow - stays the same, just adds more reps. FML!!!!
Okay wonderful people - just wanted to give an update and make sure you knew I was still going strong(ish) :)
xoxo
Katie
