B-body still aches...I did jog yesterday so I did do something a bit different..figure I gotta change it up to keep the body confused.

L-I've learned thtat no matter how long we've been doing this is does not get any easier.  The sweat comes easier but it does not get easier!  I still push hard and try to do level 3's but still find I may need levels 2 or even 1.  

O-I see how hard everyone else is working and I feed off it.  I need to be around these folks more often!  I know how easy it is for me to steer off course so I need to keep focused and around positive people!

G-My body fat % went down last fit day I'm excited to check what it's at tonight!  Although i may not be dropping lbs I'm at least dropping body fat.  Muscle does weigh more and I did pick up my eating so I'm hoping for some changes this time around.

S-my goal this week is to continue eating more and pick up some more exercise.  I bought a living social deal for bikram and maybe I can pull a Flo and do an am bikram and evening boot camp.  No Pain No Gain!!!
 

I cannot believe another week has gone by...this is moving along quite quickly...oh my!

B- so I'm not sure if my body is just being sluggish or working harder but I still find classes tough...find myself sweating a lot more then I used to.  Even today my back muscles are aching from Saturdays workout!

L- I have learned that others will be quick to help me fall off track from my journey and it's getting harder to stay on track.  I felt more motivated in the beginning and now as we are further in I should feel stronger and more motivated but I'm feeling deflated..not sure why...

O- weekends are tough for me, I will need to reevaluate my surroundings and snack options, also make sure I am eating 6 meals a day bc I know I haven't been since I get up later.

G- I have dropped in body fat but my inches aren't so great, need to refocus!




S- My goals for this next week are to stay more focused and be better at posting my meals even if no pic.  Stay strong when it comes to food and keep pushing hard at the Worx!

Another week gone by...seems like this should be getting easier but I feel it's only getting harder!

B-how does my body feel...I am still very achy.  I did crossfit and it really worked my legs.  I took Friday off but walked around work for about 25 mins and worked up a sweat. Went back at it on Saturday...still stiff and moved enough to warm it up to jog!  Just goes to show that your body can do so much more then you think!  Today....I'm still hurting but know I can do it!

L-what have you learned about you...that I can do anthing I set my mind to.  I can workout on a daily basis...I can do harder challenging workouts...I can resist tempting foods like i did tonight.  It really is about stepping back and thinking about that end goal and what you really want and not letting yourself get side tracked!

O-what have I observed...that i am my worst critic.  Having seen my college buddies this past weekend i noticed that they had noticed a huge change in me and I still had nothing to say about myself.  Not being able to acknowlege the small acomplishments that I have made even if not at my goal yet.  I need to be more positive about my current appearance and embrace the small changes.

G-what small goals can i celebrate...tonight here in TN our office went to dinner and before hand I let everyone know i was going to workout and if i caught up great if not oh well.  A few said they wouldn't tell, to take the night off, and that just wasn't good enough for me.  I am accountable for myself, if i cheat I only cheat myself!  So i worked out and met them for dinner still...dinner was not on the menu for me....even though they tempted me with all their greasy foods at the sports bar I opted for water.  Shakeology here in my room is my delicious option!!!

S-goals this week...since I will be here for several days my goals will be to make smart decisions, stay away from fried, large portioned, carby foods!  I KNOW I CAN DO IT!!!!

Happy Week Journey Folks!  I will see you next week back at the Worx!

Week 2 Check...

B-my body is not as sore as it would be had I not had my results & recovery drink yesterday...folks I totally recommend it!  I ordered it and 5 days later it arrived!  I was hurting yesterday from Ashley's kick your body workout yesterday but I had my recovery drink and I am okay today...back is sore but from sleeping poorly I am sure of it!  I am pushing through workouts and trying my hardest to do level 3's

L-I am learning that it's still a day to day struggle for me with my eating...I am pushing for more veggies...bought a bag of spinach yesterday..was proud.  have cut out rice and pastas and am okay.  I know I can do this.  Sweets, there are alternatives, I had an italian ice and it was very yummy!  Food will not beat me.

O-I have observed that there are those that will help you through this and those that will help you sabotage yourself...I want to be around those that will help me through this.  I know I can do this, I see the success stories on the wall and try to remind myself that it can and has been done and try to stay motivated.

G-I was tempted to quit...but didn't, the fourth was hard and the days that followed were too..made some poor decisions but I'm back on track with week 3.  Off to a good start and will work hard to stay focused.  The office can have their Five Guys...I'll have my baked chicken, green bean thingy, and spinach!!!

S-My goal will be to space out my workouts so that I don't have back to back days off between my workouts...makes it that much harder to get back to working out.

oops....my bad forgot the B.L.O.G.
B..my body is in sooo much pain despite all my working out and yes I do stretch before and after my workouts....guess I need to do more...will do it throughout today before workout tonight with Maia...
L..learning...I am learning that I love food but I don't have to let it control me/own me.  I do have self control!
O..I have observed that I do have support that is essential in this journey!  It if weren't for my friend Cynthia then I totally would have eaten a Dorito yesterday evening...yes I almost did...she snatched that chip right from my hand/mouth with a quickness and then proceeded to show me a before pic of me last year.  Thanks CC!
G..I did well because I worked out more then I needed to, everyday.  Just needed to work a bit harder against temptations with things like the chip incident that almost..almost happened!
S..my goal this week is to attend the Worx everyday the rest of this week, including the 4th and not over eat/indulge on the that day!

Tootaloos for now...

Week one has been completed.  I worked out everyday this week.  Even though I did not attend the Worx every day this week I did manage to go to the gym here at work and do a jog with weights.  Eating right was a struggle more for me than working out.  Food has always been my weakest point!  I love love food!  I hate to say but i feel like I will not be able to eat my favorite foods any more.  Is this so ...will I have to give up my Latin fried foods..my french pastries...????  sigh..thank goodness I already had breakfast..lol
I did think that after working out everyday I would feel better...that the body aches and pains would subside....um think not.  The workout with Ashley yesterday was INTENSE...so much so I can barely move!  YIKES!   Will be ordering some recovery drink today!  I've got a goal in mind and I know I can do this...food you will NOT win!  Week 2  I gotch u!  Looking forward to grilling out this week along with lots of watermelon! :)

LETS GO TEAM!!!
