Gross, right?!
That’s after a day of work in my car (I usually drink them on the way to work and leave it in the car)
I can't believe I said typed that out loud.
Despite the fact that work out with some regularity. I’ve just let calories in get out of control compared to the amount I sweat. Super sad face. I went to the doctor before the holiday and they forced me to stand on the scale. It was traumatic. I'm serious, so traumatic that when I went back to the doc for a follow-up visit I simply refused to stand on the scale. My reasoning? It was four days after they last weighed me. What on earth could have happened?! Am I right? Luckily the nurse took pity on me and let me pass on the weigh-in.
So, here I am, in Jan and I've committed to getting back down to my wedding weight by my anniversary Let me start by saying, I was NOT crazy skinny bride at my wedding. But I was about 40 pounds lighter than I am now. I look back at pictures and I feel like I look like a waif. (Isn't that always the case you feel fat and then you don't understand what fat is until you put on 40 pounds...eye opener).
It's at this point in my life there is no longer a reason, no excuse that I need to be this heavy. Before this, for the past almost 5 years, I was working crazy hours every week, barely dragging myself through the day. Stomaching a workout either in the morning or evening...yea right.
I'm in a new job with significantly less stress and hours. I chose this job for the balance it would bring to my life. So now I'm out of excuses. That's what prompted me adopting the magic of the green monster smoothie. I'm starting with one these at breakfast because I typically don't eat breakfast (and I think that has been BAAAAAD for my old lady metabolism) and I like to get the point where I can mess with the recipe enough that I can get one at lunch/snack too. But without a blender at work, I'm kinda not sure how to do this. I suppose I could get a blender at work. Would that be obnoxious? (White girl problems.) Anyway, in addition to my magical new smoothie...
Here is my new workout schedule and I shouting to the world. Starting yesterday. This is it. I'm sticking to it. I'll make sure at the end of every post, I let you know how its going what I completed that week and
Monday: 5am bootcamp class @ my trainer's gym
Tuesday: Run 2-3 miles (either @ Y on the treadmill or outside, weather permitting) after work
Wednesday: 4:30 workout with personal trainer
Thursday: Rest
Friday: 6:00am power ride (spinning) class @ Y
Saturday: Either power ride (spinning) class @ Y or circuit class @ Y
Sunday: rest
*in the event I'm traveling which I sometimes do for work or fun (and have a lot of coming up in Jan). If I sub out a class or training session for a 2-3 mile run, I'm calling it even.
I will fit into my regular clothes come this summer. It's my personal goal and I expect everyone to hold me to this. Seriously.
Now, its the test of commitment because I leave for NC for work today through Thursday. I packed my workout clothes. I need to get TWO runs in. Wish me luck!
Anyone else have a cliche New Year’s Resolution?
