An intense 7th Week

Wow what a week I have had on the exercise front.  My husband was supposed to go away for 5 days but these plans fell through.  I feel really bad for him that this happened as he was really looking forward to playing pond hockey down east.  This ended up being good for me though as I was able to get tons of workout/yoga sessions in that I wouldn't have been able too.

I did 4 sessions with Jill which were pretty intense but at the end of the 4th day and my final yoga session I felt like i had successfully completed a challenge (a challenge I put myself through).  Not only did I do this but before my 2 days shifts I made it to the gym.  One day I did intervals on the treadmill and yesterday I did a strength training workout.  I am so happy that I finally was able to get myself out of bed early enough to go to the gym.  Today I did more intervals.  I am really hoping that on saturday I will be able to get out and do a run outside.  It feels like it has been a while since I have done that.  I just want to make sure that I get some outdoor runs in before the race at the end of march.

My eating continues to be spot on and it makes me feel so good.  I have a few things made which will make the extra 2 shifts that I am working this week easier food wise as I have pretty much everything made and will just have to grab things and throw it in my lunch bag.  Thankfully I bought a bunch more quest bars which will come in handy for my night shifts.  Tonight will just be 1/2 of one but then when I have the sleep days and go to work I want to make sure I eat a full one as I tend not to have 3 full meals but just 2 and then the rest is more snacks.

My WI was excellent.  I am so happy with the result.  I was down 2.2 lbs for a grand total of 21.6 lbs.  I still have 37 lbs to go but that is so much better then what I had started with.  I am feeling now like I have lost that much.  When I look in the mirror I can see that I have lost weight.  The key for me is not only are the lbs coming off much I am making sure to do lots of exercise too trying to get things toned too.

Well I have an appt soon so I should go get ready for it.  Have a great thursday :)
