Saturday morning I felt like crap. I felt hungover. Yuck.

| Kind of like this... (found here). |
One of my new mantras is: "Eating crap is punishment enough."
Most of the time, I've found eating this way to be really easy. Friday night, I was tired, it was Friday, I could barely function, and I just refused to cook. So I caved in on the pizza. (The ice cream was extra). After almost a week of no bread, no dairy, no crap.. it was rough.
So, I've decided, it's okay to have one meal a week when I give in to the crap I'm craving, but after a while (and several more mornings like Saturday morning), I'll probably stop craving them.
I'm proud of myself this week, though, because when I weighed I had LOST FIVE POUNDS! Let me say that again: LOST! FIVE! POUNDS! This takes me to 149- finally under the 150 mark (and it wasn't dehydration!) It's got to be the new way of eating....

| It's a Christmas miracle... |
I feel like I finally have traction when it comes to losing that last 10 pounds.
Another awesome thing: Monday, I ran 3 miles on the track. I ran them in 28:34! Normally, I'm thrilled to make a 10 minute mile... this put me at something like 9:25...
I made a goofy video about it...
To summarize:
- I cheated just once, and I think it's psychologically beneficial (even if it's painful)
- I finally broke the weight loss plateau
- I ran fast
- I don't care if I look like a dork talking into my phone in public.
Really quick, before I let you go (and I'm so impressed if you are *still* here at this point...), here's what my week looked like:
Wednesday: Ran 25 minutes on the treadmill. Barely.
Thursday: P90X Back and Biceps, Ab Ripper X
Friday: Ran 25 minutes on the track
Saturday: Turbofire Stretch 40(Skipped P90X Legs and Back because of more hip flexor/back pain)
Sunday: Turbofire 55 EZ
Monday: P90X Chest Shoulders Triceps and Ab Ripper X
Tuesday: Turbofire 45 EZ

Have you reached some fitness/weight loss goals this week? Share in the comments..
Glad to see you're still at it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about paying for what you eat. My biggest thing is if I try and drink lots of sugary drinks after only drinking water for a long time, it just makes me feel like crap.
My advice to people wanting to get in shape is this: it only gets easier, so if you can make it the first few days/weeks/whatever, you should be fine.
No great leaps for me this week ... well bar actually getting back to exercising, does that count ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell done, you have had an amazing week xx
Thanks you guys for the comments and encouragement!
ReplyDeleteToliver, I like what you have to say. Are you seeing these kinds of results with P90? In Beachbody we say, "Just push play"... in other words- just show up :-)
Lara: Good for you. Babysteps, right?
When you are putting in hours like that you need a cheat day once a week, you have to be realistic.
