Weekly Update: This week I am down 6.2lbs for a total of 75lbs! Last week I opted for the first time in over a year to not look at my weight. I vowed to myself that I would reset and give it my all starting Friday, after a week of totally out of control eating, I started fresh and recommitted to a full 21 Day round at 100% dedication (typically I do 80/20 since my first round last year at 100%).
How did I snap out of it? I said, enough is enough! I worked way too hard for this to blow it in a few weeks and start to slide back to a place I don't want to go back to.
Here are my 7 day progress photos - beyond the weight and photos I just FEEL better!!
I also have this little guy to remember - he is part of my WHY. And a simple part of it is that I want to have ENERGY for him!! When I eat poorly, I'm tired and don't want to play, and I hate feeling that way.
This week was perfect timing too - I got my free 21 Day Fix shirt for submitting my photos, I love it!! I don't know why I waited so long to submit them, but here it is - and it's true, I get Closer Every Day.
...and sillier! I have an awesome morning workout group on Facebook and we do silly challenges - like best morning workout attire. I have to say, it was a game time decision and I formulated my 'outfit' at 5am while half asleep - but here it is! I raided my kitchen trying to find an alternative to putting sharpe under my eyes and ended up with chocolate Shakeology which meant I smelled like chocolate the whole workout! But it was worth it!
Another fun thing happened this weekend! I was featured in a blog! How cool??? Check out my online interview:
Here is another favorite from the week from my Mommy & Me Boot Camp. I love when the older kids participate - this little 5 year old was a trooper, here she is doing renegade rows with her mom (she has 1 pound weights, don't worry!).
I had a fun NSV this week too, I went to the spa with my husband and some friends and as I took off my robe for the hot tub realized it was a small!! They pre-loaded our lockers with robes and last year when I went I had to ask for a 'special' (aka plus sized) one. How cool was it to be wearing a small and have no idea!
This was a fun weekend for so many things, including a 5K I ran with a group of awesome moms in my Couch to 5K class. We had a blast!
Now that I'm back on track, I have some awesome food news! When I'm on track, you can tell, because you get extra photos of food! Here is a spur of the moment arugula, grilled pear and veggie burger salad, I topped it with homemade honey balsamic - so tasty I had it two nights so far this week!
I also did this again (last week it was so good!), a spin of the 21 Day Fix Turkey Chili recipe. Last week I used chopped up veggie burgers and tempeh as my protein, this week I used tofu - we'll see which is better!
I whipped up the chili and these snacks for the week in under an hour - and without a trip to the store! It's amazing how easy it is with just a little practice to have solid food for the week with very little time.
Vegetarian chili with grilled Ezekial bread - SO good!
And here's the honey balsamic!
