Well the last 2 weeks have been so busy. Between the nashville trip, doing an OT shift, and then a pick up at the beginning of my set I can say that I am really looking forward to my days off. I actually marked myself off in the schedule so I won't be called by work if they are looking for OT.
Exercise has been really good this week and mostly independent because of what I have been working. Just not able to make it to Jills classes so I went to the gym instead and really feel like I had great workouts…especially yesterday because I had time to do some intervals on the treadmill after my strength training.
I had my weekly menu done for the week and meal prep done which made it very easy to gather my foods for my 5 shifts. Tomorrow will be the day that I plan my menu for next week. I only work 3/4 of my next shifts…took a v-day on friday for the LUKE BRYAN concert. This will be the 4th time I have seen him and he does such an amazing job each time that I am so excited to see him on friday evening. Tonight we are going to friends house and I will be having some wine. I need to watch how much I consume. I really want to be feeling ok to go and workout at Jills tomorrow. I am hoping to get 4 workouts starting tomorrow out at her place.
I went for a 6K run when I got up this afternoon and it was my best time yet for the 6K. I even had a few walk breaks in there when I felt I needed them which really helped me be able to run a bit faster in between the breaks. I think I will try for 7K next saturday (so I will have to watch what I eat/drink at the concert).
My WI yesterday was amazing….I did have some stomach issues when I first got home from work so I am not sure if a lot of it was water weight but I am still going to go with that result. I was down 4.6 lbs for a grand total of 42 lbs. That is so crazy. I tried some clothes on and even just in the last 2 weeks those clothes are much looser. I actually asked the person in charge of the scrubs at work to put me down a size. I am for some reason not quite ready to go to that size but I happen to have a pair at home with me so I will try them on and see what I think. I have 17.2 lbs to go until I reach my goal weight. Even if I went with the weight on the scale today I am still under 20 lbs to goal which is such an amazing feeling. When I started this journey in January it seemed so far away and really I have done so well and am feeling so amazing. I need to remember this and not fall off the wagon like i did last time. I love exercising and feeling strong while doing it. My big focus last time was on the running when I reached a good weight but I am determined this time to do strength training 3-4x/week and as many of Jills classes as my schedule allows.
On my days I will for sure have to do some major house cleaning. Not much was done since getting back from Nashville. Just too busy with work to do it. I will work on a to do list today. (I really don't want to be hung over tomorrow!!!!)
I want to try and come up with some new meal ideas. I made a tuna salad with tortilla strips and had some lettuce with it and it tasted amazing. Tuna is one of those things that I like but if I eat it too often I get turned off. I hadn't had it for ever and I think that is why it tasted so good. That is what I am having again tomorrow for lunch. Things like that are good for lunches in the summer. I need to start writing my recipes in my book so I will have them at my fingertips and rotate through them. Pinterest is such a great site for healthy recipes too. I want to utilize everything possible to help my maintain this healthy lifestyle.
Well have a great weekend everyone :)
