i have been feeling fantastic this week! I've done quite well this week and the beginning of last week. There was Thanksgiving, but i honestly CANT beat myself up for loving that holiday.

I'm pretty excited about how i've been doing this week. Monday and today i worked out like a BOSS! I did my plan of a 60 min cardio and a little Yoga. ALSO! on tuesday, i told myself i wasn't going to get fast food, and I DIDN'T! go me, right? I've had to switch weights to thursday but it looks like i won't make it this week. i'll have to do some at home.

i just need to keep the faith. I recently saw that It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends to notice and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it 12 weeks.

I'm going to make myself proud.

My Plan Revamp

Well, I've kind of failed at my last attempt. But i didn't gain any weight. Does that count as a success?

I was lucky enough to upgrade my membership at my gym and am now able to go six days a week. Well, more like five, but now i have a plan to use my membership.

Here is my plan:

Monday: Cardio
20 min Bike

20 min elliptical

20 min jog

Tuesday: Upper Body

Wednesday: Cardio

Thursday: Yoga at Home
This, and Sunday, are the only days I can't go to the gym.

Friday: Cardio

I would really like to Sprint Train on these days. I'd love to start training for a 10k or plus. I've heard really great things about adding sprint training to build endurance

More good news. I have a TERRIBLE time getting out of bed in the morning. Anyone who knows me knows i do. That is one huge thing i had to get a handle on. I'm twenty three for goodness sake. I can learn how to get out of bed. I am proud to say that Wednesday and Friday i got up on my FIRST alarm. I'm seriously proud of myself. You have no idea. I'm now using my workout as a motivation to get out of bed in the morning.

I feel like i'm getting off on a really great foot...

UNTIL...

Food creeps into the picture.

I think i may be addicted to sugar. I'm going to try a refined sugar fast. For at least a week. I think I'll feel better afterwards.

Also! I'm going to start planning my lunches. I have a habit of just grabbing what i can find the pantry/fridge and it's becoming unhealthy. I think if i start planning my lunches, i can avoid that.I'm still keeping my dinners for me but adding more protein/veggie less carbs . Now the hardest part for me is night time. i know a lot of people have this problem. Here is my solution. I LOVE popcorn. Seriously love it with all my stinking heart. So, what am i going to do about it? I'm going to let myself have it. I have these 100 cal bags that are going to be my splurge. That being said. I have to really watch my snacking during the day. I typically do really well, but some days i get the munchies, you know?

Anyway. That is my plan. I feel like hopeful. Jared really supportive and so awesome about helping me do this.

Now, after i lose my weight, it's my turn to get HIS butt in shape.
