This week was...not the best when it comes to working out and clean eating. We were running around most of the week, getting paperwork in order, going house hunting for two days, filling out forms, and have guests over. I went to my typical spin classes, but got lazy when it came to strength training. To be honest, I had worked out six days in a row (last Wednesday-Monday), and was a little burnt out. I also wasn't great about not snacking on sweets and ordering healthier options while we were out running around. This really was an example of how you can't out-exercise a bad diet, which is why I'm changing my weekly goals from three to just one this week. I've found myself half-assing the three goals, instead of really just focusing on one. So this week, I'm making just one goal, and I hope that helps me with sticking to it.
exercise:
Sunday: 1 hour spin
Monday: 1 hour spin
Wednesday: 1 hour spin
Saturday: 1 hour spin
diet:
When I'm good, I'm good - food I made this week included my favorite brunch bowl (sweet potato, poached eggs, and chicken sausage), fried eggs, left over brussel sprouts + chicken sausage, the zoodles + red curry sauce (my favorite!), and hamburger patties with homemade sweet potato fries. But when it came to the food I didn't make, that's where it got less healthy. We had pizza, Jimmy Johns, hershey kisses, and gummies - some of my favorite things, but not in moderation :/
goals:
I did like half of each of last's week's goals. I stretched
some days, I drank 3 bottles of water
some days, and I tracked my meals
some days. This upcoming week, my only goal is to cut out sugar for the week. I've always been a savory person more than a sweets person, but I found myself eating more sugar this week than usual. I'd like to really cut out the sugar for the next week and focus on eating healthier snacks in between meals so I'm not as tempted by the gummies when I'm hungry.
treats:
Tonight we're getting together with the medical students and residents at my hospital for a little post-match day celebration. I anticipate a bit of champagne :)
weigh in: -0.2 lbs (total: -9.4 lbs) I was really hoping to hit the 10 lb mark this week, but I knew half way through the week that this week was not going to be the one.
