Hello and welcome! Today’s is the first daily post of this week, so let me catch everyone up on how I’ve been doing for the past few days:
This past weekend was kind of terrible. I didn’t watch what I ate AT ALL on Saturday (which is generally my splurge day, but I try to restrict my bad-for-you foods to one meal that day), and I didn’t do much better on Sunday. I did do Stretch on Sunday, and I didn’t eat as poorly as I did on Saturday, and we cleaned out Sylvia’s fridge so that we would have a new start 🙂
I’ve been trying to get rid of the mounds of chocolate I’ve acquired, and I’m doing pretty good at getting rid of it little by little each day! However, on Monday I was craving chocolate like mad! But Core Cardio kicked my butt and forced me to sweat out a lot of the toxins I’d built up over the weekend and I felt much better afterward!
Since then, I’ve been doing much better with my eating, though yesterday was a little higher in fat than I would normally like. However, both Sylvia and I crushed Upper Focus for the first time, which was a really great feeling. I was even able to stick with the cardio recovery portions better! Stupid hip-ups always make my hamstrings Charlie Horse though 😦 I’ll have to come up with a way to modify those moves so that my hamstrings don’t feel like they’re clenching so hard that they’re going to rip… any ideas?
Sylvia and I are focusing on getting our diet back in order this week, though, since we’re noticing that our cravings are getting more intense the more we give in. So far, I’ve been really good today, and I’m kind of looking forward to trying Core Speed for the first time ever (I’ve been reading some reviews, and it looks intense but fun!).
But what I’m most excited about today is my pants. The pants I’m wearing today are the type where they’re kind of tight when you first put them on, but then they stretch out as they warm up and move around. Today, they were a little loose when I first put them on!! It’s a great feeling to put on clothes and be able to notice a difference in how they fit!
I’m hoping that everyone reading this is having a great day! Stay healthy!
