I can't believe this months challenge is almost over! Where did the time go?! I am seriously soo proud of myself for sticking with it! I have been consistent with working out so far for Wednesday and Friday! Definitely not feeling it as much though since I had to bring my "portable" weights which are only 5lb, but that just means I gotta do a lil bit more for now, next month will definitely be better! I failed to add my measurements to Mondays post but I did take them and I will post them tonight!
I was so proud of myself last night! My husband wanted to go out for a "date night" so we went to Applebee's, not my favorite choice but, I got to go out! I'm not complaining! They did have a 550 calorie menu which was awesome! I ended up getting the grilled chicken with portobello mushrooms, peppers, onions, provolone and a dijon sauce with steamed seasonal veggies and steamed potatoes (that I did not even touch!) I had grilled shrimp added to my meal, which was what I wanted in the first place, but the only thing they had was either deep fried or smothered in jalapenos. But my meal was amazing! And I was bad, sort of, because I got the little strawberry cheesecake shooter thing for dessert, but I liked that it was so small and that by the time I finished eating it, I was DONE with sweets!
Overall, this week I have done ok with my foods, I have been working harder on getting my snacks in, portion sizes and pop intake- still a big problem for me! Especially with not being home and running a daycare, I crave all the caffeine I can get!
One other thing I can say I'm proud of! My cousin came over the other night, with her son, I made her do the workout with me, just one round of each, I was breathing slightly heavy, she was on the ground trying to catch her breath! I felt so good about it, realizing that I was her just 17 days ago! Just another one of those realizations of how far I've actually come!
And with that, we get to the measurements!
Measurements:
Weight: 185 - down 3lb!
Waist: 33 1/2 - another 1/2 inch!
Abdomen: 41 1/2 - up 1 1/2in, I also did this after I ate O:-)
Thighs: 22in - Same as last, this will be my biggest problem!
Arms: 12in! - A whole inch! I seriously measured, remeasured and re-remeasured! I either screwed up in the past two weeks with measuring somehow or I actually lost an inch on my arms!
I am happy with my results so far! Even though there are a few up, there are just as many down! And like I said, I did this in the evening after I ate so some of them may actually be lower! We shall see Monday when I measure again!
And one last thing I have neglected the past few posts, my goals!
Here are the goals I have set and an update on them:
1. Do the workout 3 times a week and either walking or Wii Fit the other 4 days. - I have been doing better at this, slowly, once I get into the routine it will be easier!
2. Drink more water and hopefully cut pop down to only when we eat out! - I am down to between half to a whole can a day, it has went up a little bit due to the lack of sleep and how much more active I have been this week chasing 6 kids around.
3. Get up earlier, which means getting my daughter on a different schedule! - I have been getting up earlier alright! But my bedtime is seriously killing me! As of right now it is 11:30pm and I am just now getting to this post while I wait for the last of the kids to leave so I can go to bed! And I have to be up early so I can get the grocery shopping done before they all come back!
4. Lose 5 lbs by the end of the 21 days -3 more pounds! I have to remember I am gaining muscle and will not see a big weight loss until later on!
5. Be able to do 5 Push ups without being in excruciating pain. - I am at 4...most workouts, some I can only do 2 or 3, but once again, that is because of my shoulder :/
