Last Weeks Weight: 130
Current Weight: 129.5
Holy Cow! I have not seen that number in 10 years. I have been METICULOUS with my calories this week (1500-1700)and they were very clean. I ate tons of veggies and feta cheese, what fun. Not sure if my body will want to stay here comfortably; it took a lot of work to get into the 120's and we'll see if I can keep it here. My workout was as follows:
Monday-33 min spartacus, 15 minute interval run
Tuesday-30 min outdoor run
Wednesday-33 min spartacus, 15 min interval run
Thursday-50 min kenpo karate, ab ripper
Friday-30 min spartacus (shaved off 3 minutes), 15 min interval run
Saturday-45 minutes power yoga

Week 19
Last Weeks Weight: 131.5
Current Weight: 130
My diet was very clean around 1500-1600 calories. I ate TONS of vegetables. My workout was as follows:
Monday- Spartacus Circuit (32 minutes) 15 minute treadmill run (6.0)
Tuesday- 3 mile run outside; ab ripper
Wednesday- Spartacus (32 minutes) 10 minutes jumping jacks, jumping rope
Thursday- 35 minute run/incline walk on treadmill; ab ripper
Friday- Spartacus (33 minutes) 15 minutes interval run (6.5-7.5)
Weekly Fitness Tip: Muscle confusion!! Have I said it before?? Definitely! To see results you HAVE to mix it up and keep your body guessing. My routine needed a mix-up so, thanks to my helping husband who suggested this to me, I added the Spartacus Circuit into my repertoire. There are 10 exercises and you do each 1 for one minute and repeat 3 times. I only did it twice; it is was harder than it looks! It's a great full-body and core workout and it has a very motivating title don't you think? Try it out for something different.

Week 18
Last week's weight: 131
Current Weight: 131.5
I was starving this week and tried to watch myself still. My food choices were pretty clean but I munched a bit on crackers/cereal. My workout was as follows:
Monday-50 minute push-up, pull-up, running circuit
Tuesday-50 minute legs, running circuit
Wednesday-50 minute shoulders, arms, running circuit
Thursday- 45 minute power yoga
Friday-6 mile outdoor run (52 minutes)
Weekly Fitness Tip: Try something new in your diet. It's more exciting and helps to stick to a plan when you have something else to look forward to! My 10 favorite healthy foods for now are:
-Butternut Squash cooked and mashed with sugar free maple syrup and cinnamon
-Greek Yogurt drizzled with honey
-Irish Oats
-Broccoli Slaw with light Asian Dressing
-Peanut Butter
-Tilapia cooked in a little bit of light butter and garlic
-Grilled Zuccini
-Whole Wheat crackers or apples with laughing cow light swiss cheese
-Chocolate, pb, banana protein smoothies made with almond milk
-Whole-wheat pancakes with smashed bananas mixed in

Weeks 12-17
Previous Weight: 130
Current Weight: 131
So I was in Arizona for the month of April visiting with Brady. We ate out every weekend and my 3 month sugar fast came to a screeching halt (boy was Easter fun)! My workouts were a tad sporadic. I took the kids to the park 3 or so times a week and did my running/calisthenic circuits. I did Yoga and Spinning whenever I could. It was fun to have a little bit of a break and relax on my diet but I am ready to hit it hard again. I think it's important to remember that everyone has setbacks with their fitness/nutrition goals but it's what you do with them that makes or breaks you. It's okay to eat a huge bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings and then hit cold stone for the new oreo filling ice cream with brownies (everyone does that right??) as long as you keep your lifestyle healthy the rest of the time. Reaching your goal is not an all or nothing thing. It's okay to give in a little here and a little there, just keep it in moderation and keep going!
