Week 4

This week my body felt strong and I felt encouraged. Towards the end of the week my body was feeling run down and I caught a cold :0(.  I went home Friday after work and slept. I should have stayed in the bed all day Saturday, but I got up and took two classes then spent the rest of the day in bed.  It seems like every time I change my eating habits(for the better) I always get a cold. Weird. Maybe because I tend eat less meat.  I noticed I've lost a few pounds and feel tone, which is always good.

This week I don't think I really learned much about myself or had an oh yeah moment. I was kind of on auto pilot and going through the motions.

My goal for this week is to start using myfitnesspal five out of seven days this week.  I didn't do to we'll with my goals from last week. I wanted to get up in the morning to run since I don't have time to run any other time.  That was the worst goal ever.  I hate mornings. It takes an act of God to get me to work on time and looking halfway decent.  My other goal was to ask for a vegetarian meal during an all day conference, which I didn't do.  I failed at my goals last week. Thank goodness for a new week!!!

Week 3

My body felt strong.  I was able to keep up more in class and was excited to get to the WorX. Even though the scale didn't show a number I wanted, my clothes are fitting a little better and I can see the definition coming back into my arms.

I love eating out and eating out is my downfall.  I don't want calories to exist in those meals, but unfortunately they do. I have lots of lunch meeting, networking events and trainings where food is always provided and NEVER healthy. I feel as though if I eat a little bad meal here or there it won't hurt me, when it really does.  I wish working out was enough for me to achieve my goals but unfortunately it's not...sigh.  I've learned that I have ample motivation to workout but planning my meals are what I need to focus on.

This week I lead a workout at my church and the people seemed to truly enjoy it. It made me feel good since people who never workout, got up and tried attempted to move their bodies.  One member said I should become a personal trainer...hummmm....

My goals for next week are to turn in my blog on time (lol), plan ahead for my all day conference on Tuesday and determine what I'm going to eat for Easter dinner (my family prepares meals that will clog your arteries instantly). Maybe I'll cook a few dishes this year.  Last goal is to wake up and go for a run before work 3 days this week. I plan to have someone call me since me and mornings are enemies!!

My coach Ashley is so inspiring. She was my coach the first time around and to see her dedication and growth over the last few years is so encouraging. I love the way I can text her random questions and she doesn't think I'm a fruit loop.
