Today is Friday, July 8, 2011. Today was my last day of boot camp. I was hoping for a weight update, but the instructor conveniently forgot the scale & body fat gadget, so it will have to wait until next week. My scale at home says 173, but I'm still skeptical about its accuracy, so that's not an "official" update until I step on the same scale I used before.
Today is Friday, July 8, 2011. Today was my last day of boot camp. I was hoping for a weight update, but the instructor conveniently forgot the scale & body fat gadget, so it will have to wait until next week. My scale at home says 173, but I'm still skeptical about its accuracy, so that's not an "official" update until I step on the same scale I used before.
The bad news: Today was the only day I made it to boot camp all week. My excuse on Monday was (obviously) the holiday. The rest of the week was just pure laziness. I've even gotten lazier about going to bed on time, which was a big reason I didn't get myself out of bed to workout.
More bad news: I've been eating like a teenager. Haven't felt like cooking. Lunches have been somewhat healthy, and snacktime at work hasn't set me back too far, but once I get home, I look for the worst possible thing in my kitchen & go straight for it instead of drinking water, waiting, & then deciding if I'm really hungry or just bored. The other factor in my poor eating habits is that we had a BBQ on the 4th & all the leftovers ended up in my fridge. Not smart!
The good news: I can't wait to start walking in the mornings. I did it a couple of times last week & absolutely loved it. I figure I can sleep in until 6 or 6:30am, walk for a good 30 minutes, then if I feel like it, do some light weight routines and/or yoga for another 30 minutes. I'm also looking forward to starting Zumba! Let's hope the free classes at the gym aren't over-crowded as usual.
The great news: I'm going on a nice long bike ride this Sunday on the Great Highway (See: Sunday Streets). Hopefully the weather will be nice & I'll burn some major calories.
I'm still a bit apprehensive about how to get my nutrition structured properly. I know exactly what I should be eating, but it's a matter of motivating myself to get back in the habit of prepping food, cooking, controlling portions, & cutting back on the less-than-healthy snack foods in my household. I also need to find a way to curb this silly diet soda addiction I've discovered. Coke Zero is the debble!
Also, this morning I cleaned out my closet & identified some clothes that need to be discarded (a.k.a. donated to Goodwill). Some of them were just outdated, but some of them were condoning my unwanted body shape. Goodbye zebra print. Goodbye anything frumpy. Goodbye cardigans & pull-over v-neck sweaters. You don't do it for me anymore. I hope you find a better home!
It made me feel good to know that eventually I'll be replacing those clothes with smaller, cuter, more form-fitting attire. *daydreaming*
Anyway...
If you have any tips for me on any of the things I mentioned struggling with above, please share! My willpower can't be trusted any more!
Thanks, as always, for your encouragement & feedback!
