I managed to make it to a yoga sculpt class on Saturday but I have missed two workouts. My diet has been pretty good but I can tell that I’m getting bored with it because I’ve been skipping meals. I’m going to try a few new recipes this week maybe some stir fry and a huge pot of vegetable soup. 

This last week has really made me feel like I could just give up. Balancing work, school, and motherhood is hard enough on it’s own, but there is something inside of me that will not let this go. I know that if I stick to it I will be so much happier in the long run. I think that planning and trying my hardest to follow through with my goals each week is helping me to develope the discipline I am going to need to be a good mother, wife, student, and eventually a good nurse. Knowing that I can focus on a goal and not be distracted by setbacks is giving me confidence as well. My first four weeks was difficult but I will see this through. I am a work in progress and worth every bit of effort.

We did, bench press, assisted pullups, pushups, curls, kickbacks, shoulder press, seated row,and lateral raises. I also spent an extra 20 minutes doing abs on the incline bench(is that what it’s called? I was sort of hanging upside down). After that was 35 minutes of cardio(stairclimber, I hate you)before a short soak. I feel good and I think that I am getting better at focusing on the muscles I’m working. I hope this will help to make my workouts more effective. Wednesday is bootcamp again and Thursday is leg day so I’m going to rest tomorrow or maybe do a little bit of cardio.

For meals this week I made a bunch of baked turkey breast. it’s all cut up into 3 or 4oz peices so I’ll be able to pack my cooler quickly in the mornings. We switched to BSN lean dessert protein(to be honest I am pretty confused about what makes one better than the other)and I made a great shrimp stir fry last night that we had with brown rice. Not too shabby. now I just need to drink loads of water and stick to my plan for the week. Wish me luck!

We ran suicides for 40 minutes then followed it up with the best ab workout I’ve ever had. When we were done my face was purple and I felt like a noodle!

I also had my bodyfat tested. I’m at 26.9% right now. I’d like to get down to 19% but I’m not sure what a realistic time frame for that goal would be. Any advice on this would be really helpful.
