Fit Friday!

Second week was a success. I was actually pretty darn good over the weekend which is always the hardest for me. Baked chips and 55 calorie beer thankyouverymuch. 

The stats this week:

Pounds Lost: 1.5 pounds
To Go: 51.5 to go

My workout schedule this week:

Monday - T25 Cardio
Tuesday - T25 Speed 1.0
Wednesday - T25 Total Body Circuit
Thursday - T25 Cardio
Friday - T25 Lower Body
Saturday - T25 Abs 
Sunday - Rest 

Speed 1.0 is definitely my favorite, but I really don't ever dread any of these workouts. I like that they are fast and I am dripping in sweat at the end. It is a great start to the day in my opinion. See also: I love Shawn T.

Highs of this week:

• Did I mention the baked sour cream and onion chips? Seriously, so good. 

• I used my new blender! I love it so much! I made the Pomegranate Blueberry Powerhouse Smoothie and it was delicious. I subbed in fresh strawberries instead of the frozen berries because I didn't want the strawberries to go bad. The second time I made it I used the frozen berries and I loved the flavor even more. I just love that I get my greens in without even tasting them. Winning!

• I could NOT find chia seeds anywhere in the grocery store so I made it without them and just had a hard boiled egg for extra protein and it was a nice breakfast. Filling and a nice change.

• Greek Salad from this diner by work. It's my new obsession. It is my dinner and lunch for a few days. I love a meal that lasts and lasts.

• I feel good. I sleep better. I'm making changes and feeling good about it and not even an ounce deprived. It's funny how a new workout regimen can help me stay so focused and motivated.

• I'm so proud of myself for really sticking to eating clean over the weekend. Weekends are seriously so hard for me so this was a real victory. I got this. I'm DOING this.

• This Sabra dill yogurt dip is off the chain good. Ohhhhemmmmgeeeeee. You must try it! I love it on chicken or pita bread.

Lows of the week:

• I still need to find a good weigh in day that works for me. I can't keep weighing in everyday because it's too emotionally draining when the number is higher or the same. Right now I weigh in on Fridays but I may change it to Sunday because I've noticed that is when I notice the biggest difference (i.e. lowest number). 

• I'm still mad about this. I bought chicken at Meijer with a sell by date of August 15th and went to make it Wednesday (the 13th) and the chicken smelled so funky I had to throw all $13 worth of chicken away. There is nothing I hate more than wasting food. So that threw off my whole week of meal planning and slightly turned me off of chicken for a bit. 

• I need to be a bit more active this weekend. I ate better last weekend, but I wasn't active. So this weekend I would like to eat well AND be active. We plan to take Manny to the park tomorrow for a walk/run so I'm excited for that.

There you have it. A pretty good week, over all. 100% committed and feeling good. Now, give me your feedback!
