This week got away from me! I have had a post on my fingertips since Monday, and somehow I'm only finding the time to type it out now. Of course as the week progressed, more stuff happened worthy of noting, so lets do a little Friday roundup:
Monday- Woke up feeling amazing after a solid 3 weeks of eating well, drinking lots of water, taking my fish oil, probiotics, and exercising. I also realized that I'm in a "losing phase" and it has been a long time since I've been actively watching the scale for losses, rather than just trying to do new cool things (like lifting heavier weights, or running faster, etc.). So, that being said, I want to lose 20 lbs. I'm going to break this up into losing 10 lbs two times. I don't really care how long it takes, just as long as I continue on a downward trend. A stall in weight loss for a week or two is to be expected.
Tuesday- Did my official weigh-in for my first 10lb chunk. I will report next tuesday how I did for the week.
Wednesday- Crossfit day! We ran sprints. Blah.
Thursday- Had a donut, didn't feel bad about it. Crossfit day! We did a workout in which I surprised myself at how quick I moved. I really pushed myself, and felt for the first time in a long time that I wasn't "recovering" from anything. I felt how I used to feel all the time when I was going to Crossfit 4 days a week consistently, and each workout was a challenge, but I was able to push through and get some benefit, not just survive. I suppose this feeling is akin to a "runners high." When you start out running, it sucks. Everything feels heavy, and you can't catch your breath, but for whatever reason, you slog through. Then, one day, everything just clicks. You feel lighter, your breathing falls into a rythym, and running is actually enjoyable! Same deal here...
Friday- Today, YAY! Another great week in the books. I swear, if the weeks keep going by this fast, I really have zero time to screw things up. I've been on auto-pilot. Making my protein/veggie breakfasts/lunches/ and dinners, moving whenever I can, and not constantly obsessing over what foods I can and can't have. I feel good, my pants are looser. This body of mine will be a reflection of what I do the majority of the time, not the minority.
There you have it. A summary of my week. Typically Friday nights are my one night to be more relaxed food wise, but I'm not really feeling up to it tonightsince I had a donut on Thursday, and also went out to a fairly fancy dinner and had a glass of wine. So turkey taco meat and veggies it will be. My weekend will consist of lots of food prep for the week, lots of activity, and general bad-assery.
