Excess Fat Follow Up

When we last left off, I was four weeks into an eight week bikini challenge. Turns out there was a ninth week slim down at the end of that as well.

I followed the diet and exercise more diligently for the remainder of the program. I wasn't seeing much more weight loss, but I could definitely see my muscles toning up. And I was still cheating on the regular. I have very little will power. 

Halfway into that ninth week slim down, I became pretty sick. I didn't work out for over a week. I def didn't follow the meal plan. I was eating the minimum needed to make it through the day. I haven't been to yoga in almost a month.

I've just now been able to start working out again. My eating is slowly getting back to normal, trying to figure out what doesn't make me feel bad. 

I want to redo that ninth week and follow it to a tee just to see what can happen. And then go back to heather and get my body fat tested again. Right this second I think I'm down about nine pounds. I have no idea what that would look like in a reduction of my body fat percentage. Time will tell. 

Overall I can see why they've been so successful. I really liked their meals and want to keep following it to some extent, but in a less restrictive way. And their workouts were pretty good and they post new ones every day even outside the challenge, so I'll continue to look at that too. 

Once I finish the slim down and get my body fat tested, I'll follow up again. To be continued...

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
