Week 2 Day 1

Oh man did I feel the burn today! Yoga was a sweaty experience and lots of tricep work and then coming home and doing about another 30-40 minutes of leg work. Today was also my daughters birthday and I used it as a cheat day. I did really good :) I had a piece of pizza and 3 french fries and a large salad, as well as a sliver of delicious chocolate cake with raspberry filling....mmmmmmm.... its in the fridge and its still calling my name and I am trying my darnest not to think about it!

It all tasted delicious and it seriously took everything I had not to dig in for more! Which is why when I found this quote I had to share because this is how I am feeling right now! 

Right now I want to eat myself sick with pizza and cake but what I want most is to keep working my ass of for this because I am fricking doing it! I have never been motivated like this before! I find myself asking why I never started sooner, but I guess when the timing is right it is right. This week instead of keeping my goals silent I have decided that I am going to post my weekly goals on here so I can hold myself accountable. 

- Lose 2% in body fat

- Meal plan ahead and eat on time this whole week

- Do all my work outs for the week

- Push my limits

- Wean myself completely to competition diet (by Friday)

Thats my plan for the week. I am going to get up early tomorrow and sit down and plan out my meals for the next week then head off to the grocery. I will post a follow up tomorrow with what my diet for the week will look like :)

The end of my 1st week

Well here I am at the end of Week 1... I made it and didn't die. Every muscle I have hurts and I haven't had sugar in so long that I can actually taste it in other foods so much that peanut butter tastes like chocolate. But I did it and sitting here right now I am feeling pretty fricking amazing! Everything inside and out feels great!

At the beginning of the week i set a few silent goals for myself.

- Eat clean all week and eat at least 5 times a day and get as close to my caloric goals as possible at the end of each day.

- Slowly ween myself onto a different diet and make small changes at a time

- Quit smoking (I have had a super hard time quitting)  I am so excited!! Have not had a single cigarette since Sunday! The longest I have ever gone!!

- Drink at least a gallon of water a day I am pretty darn close

- Commit to all my work outs every day no excuses

- Have at least 2% loss in body fat (I measure myself tomorrow)

I made it through about 45 minutes of my work out today but I know I can do better than that. I am hoping by the end of next week I will be able to go a full hour or at least an additional ten minutes, as well as be completely  on my competition diet or really really close to it.

       

Well that is it for tonight! Weigh in and Measurements tomorrow!!!

What a Day!!

On January 2nd 2014 I promised myself that I was going to get into the best shape of my life this year. Every single year for the last five years I found myself making excuses to not work out... like I still had time. I tone up pretty quickly (or so I thought) so I have plenty of time... boy was I wrong! Every single summer after summer I would say the same things and still be sitting on the beach hating myself for not doing it. Its my cycle and now that I am more knowledged about the nutrition and fitness world I am afraid that I could have done some major metabolic damage to my system. I would be good during the summer then by winter time I quit and gain a ton of weight.

This year while I was at my bosses New Year's party I saw myself in pictures and videos. I am sad to say that who I saw was not me. Every angle in every photo and video was painful to look at. I was finally confronted with what I had let myself become. I ate out every day because it would save me time and I didn't have to make a lunch for myself. And I just plain did not care what I was putting in my body. I can hear myself saying all winter long "I always fluff up in the winter and slim down in the summer" no... no I don't. I think that is what I do but it's never what I did. 

Until this time, those photos, and for how I am feeling today more than  10 weeks into this and I am actually going to be competing in my very first competition ever in 12 weeks! I feel so confident and even sexy when I am alone, and I love the way my body feels inside and out. I can start to see my abs peaking through and earlier I was playing around with my camera on my phone and decided to flex my arm!

I have BICEPS!!!! I don't think I have ever had those!!!!

Out of all days from the very beginning I actually pushed my limit today. I literally just sat down to type this a half hour ago, but I got in all my work outs today every single one! Earlier in the week I had to cut back my rounds by 1 because I could not power through them. I broke my work outs into segments today.

AM: 2 Mile Run and a Fit Test

PM: Round 1

I ate dinner afterward because I was feeling the need for energy, after dinner I washed the dishes, made lunches for everyone, put my little princess to bed then at 8:30 I started Round 2. 

My nutrition was on point today as well which I give myself kudos for :) As I am sure you can see that I have not dived into this whole restrictive eating thing... I have an absolute love for food but I cannot go cold turkey. I have started to slowly ween myself off of certain things as well as up my water intake (so much that I basically pee every five minutes) and everything in moderation. I think that I would be setting myself up for failure if I didn't allow myself to enjoy a few things in small doses. Besides I am still in week one... by week 7 I bet cha that things will be a lot different because I have worked harder. 

My menu today was:

Breakfast:

-1 scoop of whey protein powder

-8oz of water

-1 tbs flax seeds

-1/3 cup low fat vanilla yogurt

Snack:

-1 Jif to go peanut butter cup

-1 Granny Smith Apple

Lunch:

-4oz chicken breasts diced

-1 cup of spring mix salad

-1/2 an avocado

-1 tbs poppy seed dressing

Snack:

-1 packet of tuna

-1 hard boiled egg

-1/2 avocado

Dinner:

-Flank steak pinwheels (green bell pepper, feta cheese, red onion)

-1 Broccoli Head

I was thinking about having another snack before bed but I am really pooped! 

See you tomorrow!!
