It happens to the best of us!
Good intentions, but then temptation hits at your weakest moments (aka after driving for 20 hours and the lights of a Tim Hortons come into view…).
Needless to say, two weeks on the road, followed by a road trip with my dad (the man who loves pizza AND was pulling a trailer so couldn't drive into any healthy spots) led me to a weight gain of 7 lbs.
I am pleased to tell you that after being home a mere 6 days, I have lost three of those pounds thanks to my girl Autumn Calabrese and the 21 Day Fix. I WILL be doing a challenge group for this program SOON if you find you're in the same boat btw!
I am SO happy to have the container system back in my life! I gave it to my mom thinking I didn't need the structure anymore. MAN was I WRONG!
Today being Sunday, it's my day to read, clean, meal prep and just ENJOY. I typically don't workout too much on a Sunday, but today, I felt I needed something INTENSE, so I went with Insanity. If anybody has ever tried this, it is a HUMBLING experience even for the BEST of athletes. BUT, about half an hour after the "I'll never do that workout again" feeling, I just want to do it AGAIN, but do it BETTER! It re-motivates me every time I do it, to be stronger, more agile, and more DEDICATED to becoming BETTER.
SO, as always, I have included my meal plan, and this week, I plan on doing DOUBLES, every single day. (minus my rest day of course… Your body needs REST!)
Another thing I sucked at royally? WATER! Clearly this wasn't a good couple weeks for me! I will be caring around my trusty Contigo Cup, filling it on an hourly basis to keep me remaining hydrated. I was wondering why I was having MASSIVE headaches.
Heres to eating CLEANER this week (with my couple indulgences being my Chocolate Cookie Dough Pop Tarts and Almonds dipped in Nutella, it's a lifestyle, NOT deprivation!) and CRUSHING my workouts not just for weight loss, but to feel ACCOMPLISHED after getting my butt HANDED to me by the one and only Shaun T, Autumn, and finishing out my PiYo with Chalene!
PS. I just had a CRAZY reality check when I realized there was only FOUR months left of this year. How crazy is that?! Heres to being in the BEST shape of my life by 2015! I did it last year, and really DID get into the best shape of my life at THAT point by 2014, but now it's time to step it up!
Love you all!
