I have new protein goals, and I’ve been focused on hitting those macros - the protein shakes are back, for better or worse.

I’ve done a couple of triathlons and I trail run, but road races have always intimidated me, and this spring I want to try some local ones! So I’m working on my speed a little, after my strength training sessions. I want to build up slowly and avoid injury.4 -

Challenge Goal Weight:193.8
Weigh-in #1:206.8
Weigh-in #2: 205.6
A positive thought I had this week was: If I can't escape the 3 kids, then just let them work out with me. Seeing my 5 year old son doing Pilates with me at night was funny
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: apple, Greek yogurt, chicken and veggies
My most effective workout this week was: Zumba, which was new for me, and started doing a Pilates dvd that I use to use in college and always loved.
Comments: This past week felt a little off for me. Half of it went smoothly, ate good food in the the proper amounts. The other half was dark chocolate and exhaustion. I need to work harder on getting my Iron and Vitamin D levels up. When I feel tired I make bad decisions. But, moving on to a new week with a brighter outlook.5 -

Comments: this is usually when I throw in the towel. The scale might not move, or I give in to social temptations, or any other excuse you can think of and I decide I’m not meant to lose weight. I need to stay strong!

Week 2
Start Weight: 162.2
Challenge Goal Weight: 155
Weigh-in #1: 163.2
Weigh-in #2: 161.0
A positive thought I had this week was: I'm way stronger than I give myself credit for.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Zoodles. We've discovered we really like these in place of pasta.
My most effective workout this week was: Still doing the same thing just upping intensity/weights
I had a feeling I was hanging onto water weight from my workouts which was reflected this week on the scale. I'm just glad I take measurements because it keeps me sane when the scale is not cooperating.
Eleven more days until I wear that bikini in front of people.

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I tried to incorporate a salad into my day each day (hard for me, not good with veggies in general).
My most effective workout this week was: Tiffany Rothe You Tube video!
Comments: This week really stressed me out. I had one SUPER hormonal day along with out of control cravings and I gave in to each one. I was worried that I had ruined my week by succumbing to this. This is usually where I would give up and continue the not as good practices. I adjusted my attitude about the day, let it go, and kept going with my small changes I am working on. I guess it worked, because I made it here still and have a loss so far. Happy with this
