Week Four...........Here I come!

I am amazed that week four starts tomorrow! Amazed and excited! 


What I learned during week 3:


We had our first weigh in on Monday and slow and steady wins the race.........I lost 2.5 lbs. and 1/2 an inch to 1 inch all over, but 2 inches off of my waist! I am very excited about that! Like my son said, that's great! and you sound like one of those commercials. LOL


I learned that I am stronger than I thought (my legs were killing me in class on Tuesday! I had chin splints for the first time in a long time, but kept doing my best throughout my workout)

To wash off my mascara before Boot Camp! My eyes were stinging with all the sweat!

That I can make a commitment to myself for a better ME and keep it (I haven't had a cookie since I made the decision not to!) I've been close, but then remind myself of the promise I made. I'll have a few slices of apple or something healthy instead like coconut yogurt with almonds and blueberries.

The POWER of a team and group working towards the same goal (even if they are all slightly different)

I continue to be grateful for this opportunity and that my family continues to be supportive.


GOALS for week 4

B - ody - I feel stronger. Push-ups are getting a little easier. I can alternate between girl push-ups and try to fit in a few straight leg push-ups. I am modifying some of the exercises to protect my knees, but also using pre-wrap which really helps. My clothes fits better and my belly and love handles are smaller!

L - learning - I'm learning to eat the right foods at the right time of the day. I was eating the right foods before, but I was eating more fruit than vegetables and eating my brown rice or fruit at night. I'm switching things around and I think it's working.    

O - observations- So far I am fortunate that everyone is still very supportive. I have not run into anyone who is trying to sabotage what I'm doing.  More and more I want those that are close to me and that I care about a great deal to also exercise and eat more healthy. 

G - goals - So far, I have stayed away from cookies which is tough for me. I continue to work out 5 days and I have been able to fit in one day of yoga. I did not make it to spin today, but I think my body was just tired and I needed to rest. I am getting stronger, more fit and my belly is getting tighter : )

S - Goals for week 4:

1. Space out my meals every 2-3 hours. I have been eating closer to 4-5 hours. Figure out the right thing to eat before working out every day. Sometimes what I eat seems to heavy on my stomach, but if I don't eat the right thing I don't have energy.
2. Fit in Yoga once or twice this week and either Kazaxe or Spin as my extra cardio, take Blaze out for a run on my t/w day.
3. Use the tennis ball or get the rolling log that Maia suggested to help with the sore muscles in my legs
4. Lose 1 more pound
