2 Weeks Down

So, how did we do?

At the beginning of the two weeks, Matt and I wrote a list of things we would avoid eating and taped it to the fridge to remind us not to indulge: pizza, hot dogs, french fries, fried chicken, pasta, desserts, icecream, Dunkin' Donuts bagels,sweets, and bread. Quite the list for two people who usually don't think twice about eating whatever we please.

We are proud that for the most part we stuck to this diet. We only cheated a few times:
1. we went to the movies and had caramel popcorn. oops.
2. we went to DD's twice and had iced coffees (but no bagels or donuts!)
3. on payday we celebrated with a hamburger (yes, we had the bun)
4. Yesterday (the last day) we splurged at Costco and had a slice of pizza...

Not bad!

This morning during breakfast we wrote down new goals for the next two weeks:
1. exercise 6 times a week
2. eat breakfast every morning!
3. In bed by 11:45 (7.5 hours of sleep)
4. drink 8 glasses of water a day (or more)
5. no instant coffee at school

Along with these goals and some Dani-specific and Matt-specific ones, we are also going to stick to not eating the carbs on the list above.

Last night, after eating pizza at costco and a delicious curry and naan dinner, we went for a run. Let's just say it turned into a slow jog/walk one mile in. We both realized that the pizza makes our bodies feel absolutely disgusting, especially since we've been eating so healthy for 14 days and have had no problems exercising until then. This is good because it reminds us how much we really don't need to be eating food like that.

Along with the diet, here's what I did for exercise during week 2:
run: 1X totaling 2 miles
power90 cardio: 3X this week
power90 sculpting: 2X this week

So I worked out for 6 days this week, which was my goal!

I have decided to stop weighing myself every week. I hate my scale and it seems pointless to me. I will weigh myself once a month. Even though I haven't weighed myself, I feel like things are going in the right direction. Pants are looser, stomach is a little smaller, my endurance is up and I feel stronger. One more week until my body really starts getting into this exercise routine. I can't wait until it's second nature for me to work out every day.

Cheers to another week down. Just 9 weeks to go before we are off to Malaysia for some jungle hiking and fun in the sun!
