a-maz-ing day
I’m in such a good mood like 80% of the time lately..and just a month or so ago it was the complete opposite!
But I had a great workout, arms day & 60 minute spin class! Plus I ate pretty healthy. Today was my planned “cheat” day, since it was the last day of foods class and they made scrambled eggs with bacon and stuff like that. It really wasn’t a huuge cheat, but I never eat bacon and avoid full fat cheese, so I’m counting it as a cheat! I enjoyed it and it was nice to be able to actually eat something we make in foods instead of pretending that I’m not hungry. :)
Oh, and I had some AMAZING peanut butter & banana oatmeal for breakfast..I forgot how much I missed that! Most likely making it tomorrow… :)
I LOVE TUMBLR.

If you are really serious about losing weight, you need to be completely honest with yourself about what you are eating.

Next week’s goals
So if you didn’t know, last week I decided I was going to make goals for myself each week and try and accomplish every one of them. If you missed my post earlier today about what goals I reached you can go read it here :)
This week’s goals:
-Workout every single scheduled day (5 days with 2 active rests). If I do have to miss, make sure to make it up on one of the scheduled rest days.
-Do every scheduled strength training and make sure I’m challenging myself so that the next day I’m really sore. (Upper body twice, lower body twice)
-Eat 80% clean. Try and rely less on processed foods such as lara bars, brown rice cereal, etc. (I consider clean foods to be fruits, vegetables, lean meats, oatmeal, whole grains, etc. The other 20% of non-clean foods would be stuff like lara bars and other healthy but still processed foods.)
-Drink 100 oz of water a day
-Go outside and relax for at least 30 minutes 5 days this week!
Last week went really well, so I’m hoping this one is even better! I weighed in on Wednesday, and I actually gained .4lb (137.8lbs) but I weighed in today and I was 137.6lbs…so at least I’m not gaining! I’m not going to stress about it too much because .4lb is hardly anything, and I could fluctuate by that much every day! Hopefully if I keep up eating clean and working out and lifting harder than usual, I can finally break this stupid plateau! Oh, and I get out of school Thursday, so that means I’ll be able to spend as much time at the gym allll summer long! :)
I also ordered some new protein powder since I recently ran out and I had to use my brothers old MusclePharm protein powder. It tasted really good, but I prefer protein powder that’s sweetened with stevia not sucralose, so I’m excited to get it in! I ordered a 1lb of vanilla and a 2lb of chocolate for just over $40! I’ll take a picture of it once I get it in! :)
Hope you all have a good week! I know I will ;)
Successful week!
YAY! I had such a good week workout wise, and I accomplished most of my goals.
my goals from last week: (crossed off which ones I completed)-Workout 5 days this week. Do all scheduled workouts, and if something comes up and you miss, make sure to make up for it on one of the scheduled rest days.-Don’t skip strength training! Upper body 2 days & lower body 2 days. -Eat 70% raw or close to it. My definition of raw is fruit, vegetables, whole grains, un-processed foods. The other 30% is going to consist of lean meats, and some processed food with very few ingredients. (Such as larabars, brown rice cereal, etc.)-Drink 16L of water before leaving every morning. Bring water bottle to school and fill up at least once before lunch. -Get more things done around the house! Take 1 hour each day that I would normally be sitting around on the computer and do something productive, like picking up my room or washing my dog. -Post intake everyday for accountability.
The only two goals I didn’t accomplish was drinking water in the morning before school and posting my intake everyday. For some reason I cannot get myself to drink water in the mornings..I’m not thirsty at all, and I almost feel nauseous trying to drink that much before school. Once summer starts and I have all the time in the world every morning, I’m going to make sure I drink water before I eat! Also, I posted my intake 5 out of 7 days this week, which is pretty good! Some days my intake was just too confusing and I didn’t feel like typing out all the food I ate.
OH, and guess who worked out every planned day?! This girllll! YES! I’m so excited because I have gotten into some stupid funk where I kept skipping workouts cause I was feeling lazy..but not this week! I’m so proud of myself and I know I can do the same thing next week. I’ll post my goals for this week in a separate post later tonight :)
those days when you really really need to shower, but you’re too lazy to get up and actually do it.
