I Can't come up with a clever title.. so here you go Follow Through Friday Take 4 (2 for me)

FatChick2FitChick

This week has been awesome! The week of the wedding was crazy! I was in panic mode and tried to detox and crash diet! I was having panic attacks as if I was the bride. But I calmed myself down- there was very little I could do at that point. Thankfully my sister picked flattering dresses so that helped a lot. I just kept telling myself that this was going to be the before pictures and after the alcohol, delicious food and cake I would get back at it. Last week was slow moving so but finally something clicked; I did it once got to see some results but DAMMIT I want more results so I just have to keep going! 

This week's goals: 
  1. Full Week of Jillian 
  2. Back on MyFitnessPal - recording every meal not just downloading the app
  3. 1 sweet/non clean eating treat a day (moderation) 
  4. No eating after 8:30pm 

So I didn't fully complete my goals HOWEVER when I started in May I focused on food first then slowly got into working out. I was totally ready to do Jillian but then decided to do a boot camp class I did this summer. I had a groupon and it was great but shit happened and didn't finish the full month. So now we are back paying full price (kill me it is so expensive! but hopefully gets me there ) but already feel great. I did boot camp on Wednesday and today. This morning we did the 5:30am class & let me tell you I FEEL GREAT!!! I'm so energized and just feeling good. I'm a little sore and tight but not walking like a baby deer so I will take it. 

Next week's goals:
  1. Continue using MyFitnessPal
  2. Go to boot camp 3 days this week 
  3. Eat very little during Super Bowl party 
  4. DO NOT MESS UP DURING THE WEEKEND! (for this reason I weighted myself today and weighting again on Monday) 
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Follow Through Friday- I AM ALIVE


I have been out of the game for a while now.. Let's call it D. Rose'ing (basketball reference for anyone who gets it) I went a couple months without blogging/caring about eating healthy/working out on a regular basis. Unfortunately for me this is when it mattered the most because my sister's wedding is next weekend. I worked my butt off during the summer and was seeing results and I let life happen and a good amount of those results are gone. I have gained back some weight and probably inches. But anyways I went into panic mode because I felt uncomfortable again, clothes were getting snug and I was not happy at all. Of course it is nice that the New Year was approaching so it is the best time to start over. So instead of moping around about what I didn't do I'm just starting all over again. 

I hoping to start blogging on a regular basis but for now I'm committing to just the "Follow Through Friday" for some weekly accountability and hopefully motivation. SO LETS GET STARTED

Food 
My food has gotten A LOT BETTER. I have been meal planning again. There were some hiccups because I didn't do a full grocery trip beforehand. I have cut back on carbs specifically white carbs (which are my weakness) however there were still moments of giving in. Also have not had coffee and cut back on sugar. 

Breakfast- oatmeal and fruit
Lunch- turkey lunch meat & a salad with balsamic vinaigrette & fruit 
Dinner- depends on what I had at home; it ranged from pasta to pizza or eggs ( I know that doesn't sound healthy however everything was in small portions and like I mentioned it was because I didn't properly grocery shop) 
Snacks- varied from hard boil egg to fruit and a kind bar 

                                 Exercise 
I started the 30 day shred with Jillian Michael. I'm not a fan of working out at home; it is easy for me to just stop and make excuses. However, since my gym membership ended and I'm waiting till after the wedding to have extra funds to sign up for a new one this was my only choice. I decided to do the workout in the mornings before work and was surprise how quickly my body adjusting to waking up early, by Wednesday I was up before my alarm ready to go. I actually like the program it is quick and I feel the burn/sore the next day. I did however take Thursday off and today but will doing it at night

Results- Down 1 lbs.
Next Week's Goals:
1. Working out Sun-Thursday (wedding is next week) 
2. Eating super clean until Friday (wedding shenanigans begin) 
3. Do not eat after 8pm
