Looking back on week three my body feels good! After tweaking my back in week 1, I finally feel like I'm back to 100%! I could tell that there is a difference in my ab strength! Woo hoo! Getting rid of the pooch! (picture above at KZX on Saturday)
I was not able to fully complete my goals for this week, I was shooting to work out 3 times during the week outside of class - I only did two weekday workouts. One of those workouts was supposed to be yoga... didn't happen. I think I may have set my expectations a bit high for my weekday workouts. Sometimes I have to stay longer than expected at work and that throws me off. I think I can fit in 3 or 4 workouts a week just maybe trying to squish them into the work week is a mistake. This week I had 4 workouts outside of class. I lifted weights for my legs and did Kazaxe during the week then i did Kazaxe and had a lacrosse game this weekend... I hope that puts a dent into my cheat meals!
I feel disappointed in myself because I this week I put in the extra effort during the week outside of class to get more workouts in but made some bad food choices. I had four cheat meals this week! On my birthday I made good choices for my lunch - ordering asparagus instead of fries! But then I went crazy at night with southwest rolls and cold stone cake! I went a little overboard with dessert at two get togethers during the week and my last cheat meal was a lazy pizza hut dinner on Friday night. Looking back these slip ups were due to lack of planning and lack of self control. I've realized that it's easier for me to give in to the tempting choices when I don't have the healthy choices easily accessible.
Here are my goals...
- workout 2-3 times during the week outside of class
- make one workout yoga or pilates and one lifting for my legs.
- have a PLAN for dinner every day so I don't fall into temptation.
