Birthday Shenanigans!



So, I made so much progress leading up to my birthday & finally noticed it when I saw pictures taken at my birthday party.  My progress has been slow & steady so it's hard for my to notice the changes but seeing pictures of myself really opened my eyes to all the changes my body has undergone!  I was rocking that tiny red dress, if I may say so myself.  So how did I mentally handle such a feeling of accomplishment...I went off the deep end into calorie-ville - and lazyville!  D'oh!  Oh well, that was a bad two weeks but I am so ready to start anew.  I went grocery shopping tonight and completely set myself up for success :-)

I really enjoyed the last two weeks.  It's hard to experience such a change from what has now become a lifestyle of exercise and good food choices but I had fun relaxing, spending time with out of town guests & indulging in foods I never have anymore.  I ate a french fry!  I ate chocolate!  I ate ice-cream!  I drank alcohol!  It was fun while it lasted but I miss feeling energized & accomplished so I am going back at my healthy lifestyle full force.  My next cheat/indulgence day will be EASTER!!  Bring it!

The next 40 days - between now and Easter - will be intense, but I expect it will be worth it to see more strength gains & more fat loss!

Week 25:
  • February 3rd cardio (HIIT on treadmill for 40 minutes), 4th cardio (50 min. incline treadmill walk), 6th cardio (40 min. treadmill run), 9th cardio (outside 1 hour walk), 9th cardio (dancing my booty off at my birthday party!!)
  • February 6th strength training - only one strength session - noooo
Week 26:
