Quickie!

Hola Again!

My week has been rough. It has been very (VERY) busy and I have had a cold for 2 weeks now. It has not been fun and I have been rather hard on myself because of it. I only worked out 1 day this week (Monday) because every other night of the week I had activities I had to do (staff meeting, photography class, kindergarten open house, etc.) I let the workout part of me slide... and that's okay. I was really hard on myself, but I am realising that it is okay. This journey is never going to be easy for me.. but I need to wake up in the morning and set my intentions for the day. Make an active plan and follow through.

That being said, my nutrition and eating habits this week have been really good! I stuck to my healthy eating plan and all went smooth from there! I even went out to Subway on one of my busy days and got a six inch oven roasted chicken breast with barely any dressing. Usually I get a foot-long DOUSED in sauce. Making these little decisions is what is getting me closer and closer to my goal! 

I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped on the scale for this week's weigh in. I know I have been close to getting out of the 180s. I just didn't think today was the day (since the lack of exercise this week). But, I was pleasantly surprise:

Weigh In:

Original Weight: 202.6 lbs

Last Weight: 181.2 lbs

              Current Weight: 179.8 lbs

Weight Lost From Last Time: -1.4 lbs

Total Lost: 22.8 lbs

Now is the time where I am allowed to sit and have a LITTLE regret (okay?). 

Dear Becky,

Can you only IMAGINE where you would be today if you would have gotten off your butt and did 30 minute workouts every day!? This number would probably be CLEAR in the 170s. I am grateful that you ate carefully (instead of binging during busy/stressful times), but keep this in mind when you decide not work out in the future:

1. YOU WILL FEEL BETTER AFTERWORDS. You always feel better after you workout. Even if you are only doing the modified stuff. You always crush it and feel better.

2. It is ONLY 30 minutes. That's it. 30. 10 minutes 3X... 15 minutes 2X... 5 minutes 6X... you can do that.

3. Right now, go... go turn it on and see what happens. Just go do it.. JUST DO IT.

4. If all else fails, it isn't the end of the world. Forget today and wake up fresh tomorrow. You can do it.. I believe in you.

Goals This Week:

Goal #1: Hydration- I have generally been good at this, but I want to keep it consistent! 

Goal #2: Work Out- Even if it is just once. Work out, feel better, walk the dog, get moving. 

Short and sweet goals this week. I just want to become more consistent in many aspects. I think I have got this whole healthy eating thing DOWN, so now I just have to work on the other parts of gaining a healthy lifestyle.

Have a GREAT week!

Stay Focused, be strong.

Cheers,

Becky xo
