Starting Week 11

The past couple of weeks have been quite difficult to say the least!  I allowed the stress of life to get to me and had a tough time staying on track 100%.  However, I weigh 163, so I am 21 1/2 lbs down!! I saw 162.5 the other day, but it didn't stick, so I am sure I will see it again in the next day or so.  I'm hoping andd working hard to get out of the160's this week!  I am still struggling to get my exercise schedule down.  I've been doing my Cardio, Core & More class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and run on Sunday, but haven't been getting enough cardio in through running and cycling on the other days.  I did start reading th Habits of Health again and am getting a ot out of it.  This week, my goals continue to be to workout 6 days, read the Habits of Health and to stay on track with the food!

9 1/2 Weeks

I meant to blog on my weigh-in day, this past Saturday, but had a very busy few days.  So I will start with the celebrations:  I hit the 20 lbs lost mark on Saturday!  Woo hoo!  I also peeked at the measuring tape and am down some more inches.  I'm fitting into more clothes that I haven't been able to wear and feeling great!  Now for the struggles:  It was my moms birthday and I had her over for dinner on Sunday.  She is Vegan, so I wanted to make a dinner especially for her.  Although it was very healthy, it was not on my plan.  As I was trying to figure out what to make, I looked at Pinterest and opened a huge can of worms.  Everything looked so good, but none of it on my plan.  I made the mistake of making thee Milky Way Cupcakes, sine caramel is my moms favorite.  They weren't vegan or healthy.  Not only that, but after church, I had fish tacos!  Sunday I went totally off program.  Monday I paid for it as I had a stomach ache and felt like poop!  Yesterday I worked out in the morning and was hungry all day.  I went off program again!  So, today is Wednesday.  My weight is up a little.  I am committed to this program and am determined to stay on plan.  I am running low on food, my order is supposed to arrive Friday, but I will stick to the 5 & 1 and not waiver!  My goal for the rest of this week is to not only stay 100% on plan, but to also start reading Habits of Health and doing the workbook.
