Afternoon Everyone!
Posting a second time today since I missed out yesterday
Just finished a quick work out. I focused on abs today...didn't do any cardio. Just a 30 minute workout but if all you're doing is working out your abs, 30 minutes is plenty I think. I am sitting at the table feeling the burn!!
DH wanted a sub for dinner tonight so I picked him up one since I work right next to a Subway. I don't know what I want to eat...will probably do my stand by egg bowl because it's quick and easy and good if it's just one person. Last night I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat dinner. I think that is a first for me in a LOONNNGGG time. I drank a cup of coconut/almond milk and called it a night. I was over my neighbors apartment for a good while after I got home from grocery shopping yesterday and didn't have much of an appetite. Pretty sure my body is going through some change I never have before. Pretty much this whole week I haven't had much of an appetite. Well, not like how I would usually. I am still eating, but I'm actually stopping when I feel full instead of clearing my plate if I made too much food. I don't really know how to explain it since I've never really felt like this before...I guess my mind and body are now in synch and it's kinda weird...I've always had this finish what's on your plate mentality since I was a child since it was drilled into me, so this is different for me, but I am really liking it. I don't feel like I'm starving myself, I just don't eat if I'm not real hungry, or I'll eat something small. Maybe my portion control is paying off in a big way now? I don't know lol..I'll stop the blabbing haha
Ubee I am learning whether I like it or not, exercise plays a huge role in weight loss so I am trying really hard to make sure I do it. I am happy that I've worked up to doing a minimum of 4 days a week. But I try really hard to do 5.
I am pushing HARD this week! After Monday being such a blah day for me, and having a little breakdown (I still stayed OP), I realized that I am worth the hard work, and even if I struggle, this is my journey and no one else's. No one can do it for me, I have to do it myself if I really want it, and I do. So I am striving for 100% POP week and exercise week. Not that I have been off plan really, but I was not watching my carbs as much as I should have and was allowing myself to eat them, which I know for me is going to make it harder. I am really hoping that for my 4 month weigh in I make it to a 50 lb loss. I only have 5 lbs to lose, but with the past couple weeks being 1-3 lb losses I may not make it. If I don't, it's still ok, but would be super cool and make me happy.
Well I think I'm going to hop off here and make some dinner and then get on Pinterest to look up different stuff. I love that site and haven't devoted much internet time for myself lately since I've been trying to be busy with other things. I hope everyone has a great night!! One love!
