Two pounds down last week! So pumped. Currently at 216.4....only 16.5 pounds to hit my Chicago goal, and that is not until June 27th! I definitely think I'll be able to knock that one out pretty good.
Pretty excited this week...my 90 day challenge starts on Sunday!!! I weigh in Sunday morning and weigh out on May 11th. I'm anxious but SOOOO pumped up...I really want to kick this competition's ass! I'm going to be honest...I am definitely NOT being very strict on my eating this week (it hasn't been pretty) but only because I am buckling down like crazy after this challenge starts and after Sunday I'll be super strict for quite awhile. I'm not going crazy this week or anything, but I'm definitely not eating 'clean' like I have been and I've snacked a little more than I would normally. I'm not going to weigh in this week...I will weigh at the gym for the 90 days but as for my own tracking I will just skip this week. I'll be back to official weigh in's next weekend, I promise! I just wanted to give myself a little boost for the initial weigh in. Probably doesn't make sense to most but it makes sense in my head LOL:)
I met with Jami and Aaron last weekend to get a game plan for the competition. I have a detailed schedule of workouts that I will follow for the next three months starting Sunday....
Sunday: pilates with Jami, light cardio
Monday: cardio with Jami
Tuesday: PT with Aaron
Wednesday: cardio, foam roll
Thursday: PT with Aaron
Friday: cardio, foam roll
Saturday: REST, foam roll
A couple days after PT I will do some light cardio too just as a bonus but that is the basic plan. Eating wise I am going to keep doing what I'm doing but tighten up on Saturdays which I have been using as a looser eating day. Also, I'm going to TRY to skip the dessert at my in-laws on Sundays. At least the majority of the time;) And the pop. Ohhhh my diet coke. Here's an idea I had...I am thinking of totally giving up pop for the challenge. Every cell in my being begs against that decision but I am feeling led to give it up. I'm going to try to approach it like a spiritual fast...I will need strength from God for this challenge...to stick with it and to stay focused, and I feel like completely giving up my pop will help me to lean on Him in prayer during those challenging times. I haven't decided 100% but I am going to pray about it and decide by Sunday. I know it's not healthy for me to drink so much of it, and water is always SOOO much better, so I know it's a good decision all the way around, it's just really hard!! So we'll see!
I want to say that I am NOT fooling myself into thinking I will do perfectly on this, I will not do everything right and I am sure I will have things that I probably shouldn't. There will be days I won't get my cardio in, and days that I won't have as much water as I should. I am also not saying that this plan is something I will do until I lose all my weight...I know it is a little overly strict and challenging...I am just trying to stick to this for the competition. I am trying to approach this challenge hardcore....I am in it to win it!!! 90 days to a healthier me! :)

Ooh I'm so pumped for you! You are going to ROCK this challenge! And you know, we are like neck and neck with our weight. I have been at 216.6 for the last 2 days!
I know it will be hard, but you can kick the soda habit! I was waiting until the 15th to blog about mine, but on 2/15 I will offically be 100 days off sodas! Not gonna lie, the first few days were TORTURE and the headche, ack! But it is so very worth it now. I don't even crave them. They are just drinking calories to me now and to think how I used to be drinking 3-5 cans a day!
Aww thanks so much girl!!! I appreciate that..I'm pumped too!! I really want to win, but most of all I really want to see how much damage I can do! :) I saw that about our weights!! So cool! It's nice to know someone out there is so similar to you and going through all the same stuff! :)
Thanks for the encouragement with the soda...awesome job on the 100 days!!! That is amazing!!! I think I am going to give it a shot. Ugh! I wish I drank regular so at least I would know I was cutting calories..but I just have the diet, I know it's just the artificial sweeteners that I crave. Which from what I understand makes you crave sweets and also triggers an insulin response. So it's for the best. But man it's going to be hard! I gave it all up when I was pregnant but man, I'm not looking forward to that again LOL! Thanks for the encouragement...and great job!!
