Day Thirty One & Beyond

I realize I'm awful at updating daily. And now that my first month is over, I think I'll condense some posts. 

The last few days I've done Core, Sweat, and Strength Intervals. Today I think I'll do Sculpt or Buns. I'm doing really well. I'm proud of myself every day. I figured out the other day that I can finally do a complex move and I was actually so excited I cried a little.

Diet is going fine. My FitBit really does help me stay motivated, as stupid as that sounds. As of this morning, I'm officially down TWENTY pounds! At the rate I'm going, I'll reach my first goal by Christmas. Which makes me so proud and happy I could explode. My second goal will be a few months after Christmas. My FitBit says end of April. We'll see what happens. 

I'm just so proud of myself for sticking to this. For not giving up. For proving to myself that I'm worth it! My thirties are gonna be AWESOME.

Day Thirty

Well. I was right about my daughter being sick. Nose is running and she's whiny and cuddly and is flat out refusing to nap. Sigh. 

Things looked promising for a minute and I completed 20 minutes of Drench before the husband and I couldn't take her screaming any longer. Not even halfway through, but at least I managed a small workout. I was dripping in sweat when I was done!

Hamstring update: PAIN. But working out wasn't causing any more additional pain, so I persevered.

I should repeat Drench tomorrow, but I'm not sure this little lady will sleep that long in the morning. Or if she'll even sleep through the night. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm still stalled at this same weight. We walked our son to school twice this week (round trip is about three miles per trip), yard work, and working out every day while closely watching caloric intake has resulted in stalling. Again. 

Not giving up. Just whining. And maybe a little crying. 

Day Twenty Nine

Strength Intervals. 

Not much to report, really. Made it through. I love how short it is because I don't feel like I need to pace myself.

Diet is steady as she goes. I'm apparently stalling at this same weight for several days now. Which is annoying but I refuse to give up. The temptation is there to have a cheat day. Especially given what week it is. But I'm trying to remain strong. 

Day Twenty Eight

Core! It's still my favorite, followed closely by Strength Intervals, believe it or not. 

Not much to really report. It's getting easier and easier to do the moves. I'm starting to unmodify more and more of the moves. It's not as hard as I thought. 

I'm noticing my relationship to food is starting to change. I'm viewing it purely as fuel now, rather than...I don't know...love? I'm not seeking it out when I'm stressing (I still WANT it, but I'm not indulging) or sad or angry. My self control is better. I'm getting increasingly proud of myself. 

I really am changing my life. And it feels really good!

Day Twenty Five

Well, definitely sick. And it sucks. 

Today was supposed to be a rest day but I've taken so many of those, so I decided to at least attempt a workout. I attempted Strength Intervals and not only did I finish, I rocked it!

Now, granted I had a fever and was dripping snot onto my mat (I still use a mat for S.I. because my rug is slick), but it really was easier this time around! I don't think my fever was making me delirious or hallucinate, so I'm calling this a win!

My diet is on track, though with my body sending signals to my brain to hoard calories to fight off the cold and my impending period making me crave anything sweet, this isn't an easy task. I want to eat all the things! But I'm still sitting comfortably at 1350 calories for the day.
