BODY UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Yesterday I went to the store and bought all kind of clean items, then came home and cooked the chicken for the week. Had a great eating day, no cheats not even a taste. Going to try and keep up this burst of momentum!

Thanksgiving was a bust, we were out of town for 2 days… but back on track today. Going to post pics 30 days from today. Will see what happens, now that will be scary enough to keep me motivated!!

Started with 7:30 am 40 min of HIIT cardio and boy was I sweating. Then ate perfectly the entire day with no cheats at all not even a taste or bite. Going to try and keep up the momentum!!

So far so good -today- did awesome with my eating schedule! Did weights today for the 1st time, so will see how I feel tomorrow. Here we go….

Back in the gym, only had time today for a quick 30 min on the elliptical but pumped it up a few notches torwards to the end to really push myself. Didnt eat great today but everyday I do a little bette, pretty  soon I will be back in my ole routine just gotta get the mind and body on the same page and he stomache back to eating less :0

Ok!! I am finally back! Life got very crazy, first I started back at work with a very fast paced company in a very intense position and working over 50 hours a week and then coming home and having barely enough time for my family. On top of this trying to rent out my townhouse with a bad market and so many crazy people.  No time to eat well, no time to workout, just trying to get through everything. This intense stress was topped off by a flu bug my BF gave me after coming home from business travel. My body was not ready for this and just collapsed, the flu totally threw me into a relapse.. I have been in and out and the doctors office, having IV treatments, meds everything, unfortunately was forced to get on the steriods to beat this infection, and up my chemo treatments which I have worked so hard all year to taper off.. and then once I did, I had to deal with the painful withdrawl.. life has been TOUGH!! This weekend is the first where I have not been completely exhausted worn out and suffering from fatigue and the pain of withdrawl. Steroids are crazy, yes there are the only drug on the market to help stop the relapse and help my conditon but man coming off them is cruel and intense. Things are changing at work and luckily my plate has lightened as I have stepped into a different role. This is GREAT!! I am going to look forward to working 8.5 hours a day and going HOME!! My townhouse finally rented and so all the pieces are coming back together. 

I am ready to now face the damage and see whats happened. I weighed myself today and was 141 so I have gained about 3 lbs in the last 3 months. This is not as bad as I thought but I feel so flabby and weak. Starting today I am back on eating my high protein and working out. Yesterday I went to the gym and did 40 min of cardio and am sore today how sad is that.. sore from cardio? Guess I will have to start with baby steps, will start with super low weights and go from there. Well my body has been through alot. It could have been much worse. I worked so hard to get in the 130’s.  I can get there body willing! LOL. Anyway here I am starting over and trying to stay positive. Lets see what I can do by Jan 31st. My goal is to be in the 120s

Ok back to business! I went out this weekend and bought chicken etc.. cooked up all my food and am prepared for the week. Did a killer workout on Sunday and ate perfect. Today I ate all the food I packed for work ( luckily no LUNCH meetings today) and then came home and worked out. I really hate eating so close to bedtime time so I need to get back to working out in the am and or packing an extra meal before I leave work that I can eat so when I get home I  have time to workout -as I go to bed so dang early.. hmm will have to tweak things as I go. Well here we go! Lets see what I can do

Ugh.. I have for the first time since Jan totally fallen off the wagon. I started this new job and life has been crazy. I have worked out only 6 times in the last month and half  and have not been good with the eating at all. I start work at 7:30 am and then its whirlwind until lunch and what to do when you have business lunches where food is ordered in for you or sometimes we go to a restaraurant - yes I know I could order a salad but by then is 1:30 and I am STARVING my body just wants to eat and I lose all control then I feel awful and  guilty but I do it again the next day anyway. I weighed my self and I have only gained a pound putting me at 138 but it sucks I should be at 130 by now. I have to get it together I have to make a plan an stick to it. I need to get up and do cardio or weights  before I go to work and pack healthy snacks and make the time to step out of my office and eat them so I am not starving at lunch time and then I can make better food choices. I need to do this.. I WILL do this . I must overcome this complacent person I have somehow become. I have goals and want to reach them. I need to find the stength to get back on track. Today is the day. I will make this change and I will remind myself how far I have come and where I strive to be. Time goes by so fast there is no reason to waste any of it… *sigh*

Yippeee down a little over a pound, eating was super on target! Even had a little extra so was  super excited when I stepped on the scale. Have about 4ish more pounds and then it will be time to post the pics again! I am hopiing week 2 goes just as well. By the end of the month I could be at 135- cant wait!!  Doing it all nice and slow tho.. as I dont ever want to come back to where I am or where I started.. come on week 2 ..

This week was a little crazy! I started back at work and now things are going to get challenging, I have a good routine but with a few modifications, I should be able to stick with it, as it really has become a lifestyle and not just a diet/excercise program. Not tooo bad considering I only ended up at the gym twice when I normally work out 6-7 days. I lost about a pound. Starting tomorrow I will add a little more cardio on Sundays to make up the new weekly schedule. I love everytime I go in the closet to put on something I havent worn in a very long time and its too big  :)  I am in the 130s next goal 135 then on to the 120s!! Yippee..
