So I was feeling a little down this weekend cause I had several days of eating not so supportive. And then this weekend I worked on getting back on track. I didn't get in workouts like I'd hoped but I did make my house sugar-free again. Yeah!!!! We have also been cleaning out our pantry and freezer (eating up everything to begin restocking) so we've had some interesting meals. Like pork tenderloin chili and smoked turkey sausage and peppers, I loved them both. This week will be more of the same. I need to get into the freezer and pantry today to plan out our meals for the next few days. I'll let you know what I come up with.
Also, today is Monday and we weigh in via video. I have to say I am totally rocking this challenge, look out hookas!! I am down again, not by huge amounts but I'm down. I feel all of this comes from fueling my metabolism. While I haven't been working out, I have been active and I have been constantly (every 2-3 hours) fueling my body by eating and not letting myself get hungry. I am not starving myself nor am I eating too few calories. I've been down that road before and all the weight came back and then some, grrrrr. I am eating about 1700-1800 calories and focusing on protein and produce. I do allow non-produce carbs though I do try to limit them to a few times per week. I load up on the veggies and meat. I also do eat sweets and what not but do try to limit them as well.
And on the workout front when I do get them in I constantly challenge myself including weights. I use 10, 15 and 20 lb. weights for various exercises. I believe in increasing weights to push your muscles, cause your muscles are your metabolism. Lots of reps at low weights will not make your muscles work hard.
I can feel my motivation waning so I feel I need to talk more about what I'm doing to keep me motivated.
I am planning on doing the Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout today and will video it and if I can figure out MS Movie Maker then you'll see some of it, I think it'll be um...fun? Yea, Fun!!! See, working on the motivation!!
Ok, so I'm off to get my day going and stay on track!! Everyone have a GREAT week!!
