MFP: WEEK 3 5K UPDATE

Last week did not go as planned. It also involved a GIANT cookie cake that seemed to never go away!

I definitely feel around 5 pounds heavier than I was last week :-( I stepped on the scale for the first time in months...let's just say I wanted to cry. Sigh....Instead, I'm turning the sadness into motivation. This week I'm going to really try hard to stick to my workouts and eating clean. My goal is to lose at least 3 pounds this week. Let's see how I progress!

WEEK 3:

7/30/12
I ran and walked 1.5 miles today and did about 20 minutes of pilates. Feeling good but know I can push myself harder the rest of the week. After-all, I have a cookie cake butt I need to work on!

 

For dinner tonight, I grilled 2 large cap mushrooms halves with spinach and cheese on top with some grilled peppers (not sure what they are called they look like giant jalepano peppers, but not spicy)! I should have taken a picture to post, it looked so yummy!

Eating clean definitely makes me feel so much better! After all the wine and cookie cake this weekend my body is SCREAMING at me!

Moving on....

I found an amazing new polish this weekend as well! Of course it looks Coral, but you can't really tell from the pic. It's super pretty. Love it!

I hope everyone feels a bit more motivated by today's post. I'd love to hear from others about their fitness challenges and weekend downfalls! Mostly so I don't feel so guilty, cause I know I'm not alone out there! :-)

I ran 1.30 miles and did about 20 minutes of pilates. Loving the coral so I wore another coral shirt. I was feeling a little sluggish and had to force myself to get motivate. Sometimes I just don't have ANY energy!

 

8/1/12
Doing good so far this week. Onto day 3 of the week and have accomplished something each day! So far this is a big improvement! It makes such a difference being home rather than traveling for work and trying to keep a routine.

I decided to get out and go for a run outside. By my house there are some great running/biking trails, so I decided to get out and get some sun while getting some exercise. I ran/walked around 1.60 miles. I was so sweaty and exhausted when I got back to the house I skipped the pilates. I definitely am feeling a few pounds lighter from Monday...even if it was probably just water weight from last week! I'll take anything at this point! :-D

 

More to come :-)
