It's a tale you have heard me tell many times. "I'm gonna exercise!" "I'm gonna eat healthier!" "I'm gonna run!"
Have I done that yet? Nope.
Today I am going to change that, hopefully. I have planted my feet, and have started on a healthier track. As of today, I will make an effort to eat better. Make an effort to exercise daily. Make an effort to stop beating myself up, God knows we are only human and make mistakes.
Along with my coworkers, we have all decided to challenge each other to lose weight. Technically it was supposed to start November 1st, but I don't really think any of us stuck to that. Lol! I had a Halloween party this weekend so I knew I wasn't going to start until today. Too many sweets and booze in the house to start a diet on.
Luckily for me, I was able to wake early (Thanks Daylight Savings Time!) and began my day with DailyBurn. I know I mentioned it before, but this is such a good fitness helper. The ones I have done have all been awesome, and the instructors are very supportive, but also have a high amount of energy. I restarted the workout I chose a while ago and plan to stick with it, doing the daily workouts for a full month. Let's see how that works out!
Also hopped back on to Weight Watchers. Going to get on track... by tracking myself and what I do on the daily.
Yes I know I have said this all before, but I am planning on writing about all that I do each day. Journal my daily work, hold myself accountable not just to myself, but to you readers.
Today on the DailyBurn, I was challenged to a Tabata-style workout. 38 minutes total of doing 5 different workouts, as many as you can for 20 seconds, then having only a 10 second break before doing the next set. INTENSE! My legs feel like jelly right now, but I am so happy that I did it. One day down, 27 more to go in my Total Cardio series! I you want something different, I highly recommend you check it out, especially as the first month is free, then it's only $10/month after. Check it out here!
It was then time to plan my meal for the day. Luckily for me I have already been buying healthier food options, so it was easy to whip up a good meal. Breakfast was a Tomato Avocado Salad with Scrambled eggs and mushrooms. Then for dinner, I made Chicken Curry with carrots, onions and brown rice. It made my house smell so heavenly that it was hard not to eat a bowl right then and there! Snacks for work included baby carrots, and some Coconut Honey popcorn to help with the sweet tooth I've been having.
With this menu, I am already at 20 points for the day, with my limit on WW being 26. So when I get home I just need to make sure I don't pig out like I usually do. That's the time I am most likely to gorge myself. That quiet time alone at home, where there is no one casting judgements on my midnight McDonald's runs, or me grabbing Taco Bell before heading home after work. These are the things I REALLY need to watch out for. This is my Battle with the Blerch!
