How is everyone doing this week?
Re: Wellness Wednesday
I'm doing pretty well sticking to my diet. We are also still on track with our eating out plan, which I'm super impressed with!
My big accomplishment this week is that I committed to running with my neighbor. She is a super duper runner and volunteered to be my running coach. I'm still a bit embarrassed by how out of shape I am, but she has been so encouraging I'm trying to focus my energy off that and on how much I'll be able to improve. I went yesterday for my running shoe fitting (!) and am super excited to pick up my shoes today. Hopefully this will allow me to stay injury free!
trying to put forth a bigger effort to slim down, in both diet and exercise combined.
Monday - food wise was not too bad, but allowed myself a few indulgences. Went to a group power lifting class and increased my weights!
Tuesday - did really good eating light & 'clean'. Power walked with the dog last night, despite hating the hot weather.
Today - planning on a spin class after work and more well behaved eating. But also going out for wine night tonight, so that'll be my treat for the day - so no junk food!
I'm still doing good for the most part. My bff came into town over the weekend so we ate fairly bad, but not as bad as it could have been.
I also worked out the past three days and plan on going on a long walk tonight and spin tomorrow night.
Thanks to all the outdoor work over the weekend, I can feel extra tone in my stomach and legs.
We went for a walk Monday, including hills and sweat, so I felt pretty good about that.
Last night though it was so humid, I only managed to wash the outside of my car but, since I was sweating I figured it counted as a workout.
I've eaten fairly well with the right size portions and lots of fruits. No "omg, I ate way too much" moments so far this week!
Mentally, meh, it could be worse. DH and I have argued a lot, I feel this way, he feels that way, kind of thing. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't trust me on making a decision and he wants it his way...so that's been a source of frustration.
