Hey friends. So I am a week behind of linking up with Joanne Slices of Life for Weigh In Wednesday. This month is flying by but I still wanted to share what I have been doing this month.
What I am doing: The program I am doing is 4 weeks of Focus, it is a bodi program. I am enjoying the slower pace but still feeling the good sore afterwards. I have gotten outside a few days and gone for walks. I have enjoyed it and really need to make the commitment and do it more. Even though I am doing this program I am not staying consistent 5 days a week doing these specific workouts. I have thrown in a few rides and other workouts because I need to switch it up. I feel like I get tired of the same trainer after a while.
Last week I switched up when I did my workout. In all honesty friends gave me a hard time "why are you waking up at 5am and getting a workout in you could be doing it during the day when the kids are at school. Ella is old enough to get herself up you don't need to get up with her" and it just stuck in my brain. I decided to take that extra hour or so of sleep (I still had to get up at 6am and turn off the alarm, turn on the lights, and let Ella in the house when her dad dropped her off) and adjust my day.
Pros:
- I enjoyed laying in my warm bed because last week the temps were in the 30s and 40s.
- I did still get my workout done
Cons
- I didn't feel like I had as productive of a day
- I wasn't starting my day in the right mindset.
- I wasn't drinking enough water everyday. (this could also have to do with the cold but usually by 630 I have drank 36 oz of water between my pre-workout and working out.)
- Even though I was getting a workout done I didn't feel like I was pushing myself as hard and didn't have as much energy
- I felt more antsy, moody, stressed.
With that being said I am back to waking up at 5am to get my workouts today. (Monday I had a bad day all around not feeling well, Tuesday I hit snooze by accident.)
What I've Been Eating:
I mentioned last month that my cholesterol numbers were not the greatest. My good cholesterol is low, and my bad cholesterol is high. My doctor recommended adding the some of the 10 top foods that help lower cholesterol. I have been working on that.
Random throw together lunch= romaine lettuce, roasted Brussel sprouts, black beans, chicken sausage, avocado with a little Italian dressing.
The Numbers, Scale, Changes I noticed:
I have not stepped on the scale. I am noticing more definition in my arms but that is really it. My clothes are still somewhat fitting the same. I don't want to admit it but some of my clothes from last winter are a little snugger.
What I Want to Change:
More water I know I get in the habit of not drinking enough water when the weather gets colder.
Journaling my goals, my mindset, for my mental health.
Less snacking. I get bored and just go to the fridge or cupboard and grab whatever.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
