Week 6 recap

I feel like I have been eating healthy for a long time now but it has only been 6 weeks.  It is amazing in a short period of time I was able to pull myself right up on the wagon and I feel like I have a good seat and won't be falling off.  When I do have situations that are not really in my control I just need to make the smartest choice at that moment and just get right back to eating my clean food.

I need to work on getting activity in before I work my 2 day shifts.  It is just so hard to get up at 5 but I know if I start to do it I will feel so great after I get a workout in and it will become easier each time I do it.  I don't work days until next tues and wed so we will see if I can accomplish this goal.

Still doing great with the menu planning and meal prep.  On the weekend I need to make a menu for next week and get my groceries on sunday.  Monday is a holiday here so I need to have all my foods for the week purchased.

This weekend (actually starting today) is going to be filled with my workouts and yoga.  I am actually looking forward to that.  I haven't been to yoga since friday and my body is really missing it (even though I have only done 4 classes.  I am going to be going to Jills 4 days in a row which is going to be crazy but I know she will have me working different muscles so that is good.  It actually workouts since next week I will have to do any strength training on my own because of my schedule.  I will go from mon to the following sun without one of her classes (will pull some of the workouts she has given me in the past and go to the gym).  I really want to find the motivation to do a good workout at the gym for resistance training incase I can't make it to Jills this summer.  I don't want to lose the muscle that I am building and it will be good to have some independence.

So I knew it wouldn't be a big number on the scale today for my weigh in.  I didn't even think I would lose anything but I did.  0.6 lbs!!!!!  I had 2 pretty big weeks in a row so I will take the .6.  I am down 19.4 lbs in 6 weeks.  That is so crazy.  I am feeling so great.  I know I need to stop focusing so much on the number but I have 2 weeks to get 5 lbs off to be at the next level of weight.  I like starting each month at a different level!  I will get Jill to do my measurements on the 27th.  Instead of doing it every week like I was I will do it every month now.

I have so much housework I need to get down over the next 5 days.  I really want to get it done.  I will feel so accomplished if I do.  I think today will be a laundry day.  There is a pile of it (especially with all the working out I have been doing…lots of dirty workout clothes).

Well I want to finish my coffee while checking things out on the computer.  Always love finding new ideas for meals etc.  Have a great long weekend (for those that have one).
