Sorry folks, I haven't updated for a few days! I'll recap what's been going on since Monday. I started week 4! Wow! Four weeks! I can't believe I've made it this far! Week 4 is a recovery week, which pretty much means no major strength workouts, but plenty of yoga and cardio stuff. The week kicked off with a good yoga workout, then core synergistics on Tuesday. Wednesday was kind of interesting this week. The past few weeks were always the arm and shoulder workout, so I would do that workout, get some good strength training in, then go to my zumba class with the gals and get some cardio. Well, this week, my Wednesday workout was kenpo, which of course, is also a really heavy duty cardio workout. I didn't want to skip out on zumba though, because I really enjoy it, and it's a chance to get together with the girls, ya know? So I figured I'd go to zumba, really bring it, then maybe do part of kenpo to work my arms a bit extra. So I go to the class, really give it my all, get home, start my kenpo video; planning to probably only do about 15-20 minutes of it because I'm already pretty spent. I. Do. The. Whole. Workout. Holy crap, what's wrong with me?? I'm badass, that's what wrong with me!! Haha!
I probably won't make a habit of that, but honestly, I can need all the help I can get this week! It's been a somewhat hectic week for me, and I have not been eating very well the past few days! Breakfasts and lunches have been fine, it's dinners and snacks that I've been kinda fudging on... There was the whole Superbowl party thing on Sunday; then Monday we got together for a simple dinner for my brother's actual birthday. We had chili dogs and stuff like that. I tried to cut the extra carbs at least by having my hotdog and a little chili without the bun, and I had a little potato salad on the side. On the plus side, however, I passed on the chips and birthday cake that night! :) Tuesday I had a meeting for work in the evening and they provided dinner. The menu? Pizza & salad. I loaded up on the salad, but I still had two slices of pizza darn it! I was starving! I can't say no to Brick Oven! I'm only human! Wednesday was okay, we had dinner at home; grilled chicken and vegetables... but I may or may not have eaten a sugar cookie at work... just throwing that out there so I have a clean conscience (ha)! We had another work meeting tonight, and they catered in sandwiches from a local deli/bakery place. I had a turkey sandwich with just brown mustard (no mayo), lettuce and tomato. The trouble is, that was on white bread... big ol' thick slices of it, that you can tell they made in house and it was delicious dang it! So much white flour... Oh yeah, and I may or may not have eaten the chocolate chip cookie they gave us too... Yeah. I won't be too surprised if my numbers aren't what they could be when I weigh and measure myself this weekend. I am at least doing my workouts, and trying to push myself with those as hard as I can. I just need to regroup and refocus on the nutrition side of things, and I'll be back on track!
By the way, my workout for today was X Stretch. I love this one! I just feels great to do some good, deep stretches all over, I'll definitely be doing this one more often! Tomorrow is cardio X again, maybe I can get a little of this extra junk food burned off me!
