So although this past weekend was another "wash", last week wasn't terrible. What I ate wasn't so much of the problem as my lack of exercise. I only ended up exercising 4 days last week total. Bummer.
Oh, well. A new week has begun and it started off last night with a healthy dose of the Power 90 workout video. I have "graduated" to level 3-4 now (instead of level 1-2) so let's just say the cardio is enough to keep me lightheaded and sweating profusely for the entire 45 minutes. Tonight I am starting the 3-4 level in sculpting (weightlifting) and plan on adding in a 2 mile jog/walk into the mix.
While on the whole we've been eating better and exercising more these past 4 weeks, I am not getting the results that I want. Although I haven't weighed myself and have gotten a lot of compliments from teachers at school about my "slimness", I don't think I've lost anything. My pants fit a little loser, but nothing dramatic. After 4 weeks I was hoping for at least a little more.
I've decided to ramp up the exercise. Doing the cardio video 3 nights a week while adding more cardio to my sculpting nights will help.
I also really need to cut the crap. I did NOT need that ice cream last night. I didn't need that iced latte from Dunkin' Donuts the other night, either. Although my diet has drastically changed, it hasn't changed completely.
Even though I am not seeing the results I'd like, I am still optimistic. Each week is a new week and each day that goes by where I make smart choices is one step closer.
Goals for this week:
add cardio (even if it's just a walk) to my sculpting nights
go on a hike/long walk on my one day off a week from the exercise video
cut out all of the "freebie" snacks/drinks
continue to eat healthy, balanced meals
buy bus tickets for the airport for MALAYSIA!
Okay, so I threw that last one in there for good measure :)
