week one, MTC

Since today and tomorrow are rest days, I'll just consider the week done. I am back down, 179.6

I knew the weight that had put me in the 180's HAD to be water weight. Surprisingly, it has been easy to stick to the eating. With all the sweets and junk I had been eating, I expected it to be a little difficult to just cut them out.
The workouts are hard! I sweat big time and I love it.

I unfroze my gym membership on Tuesday because the workouts require a gym and I'm not enjoying it. I feel like it takes up part of my day that I'm not used to, Charlotte isn't digging the kids club, and it is inconvenient to get there. But I can suck it up for the 30 days and see how i feel when it's over. I was so nice to have been able to lost the weight that I did from home.

I'm back

I'm starting a new plan

I read the book over the weekend and was still making my plan when I realized I had the food I needed and the workout of day 1 could be done from home. Dang it was tough, now I see why she claims to get you in shape in 30 days if you stick to the plan. Now I have to unfreeze my gym membership. I'm trying to have a more positive attitude about going to the gym but I'm really not looking forward to it. It's one more thing I have to add into my day. BUT it's only 30 days and then I can decide if I want to keep going or freeze it again.

Now for the numbers. Really embarrassing. July and August. I was so bad in these months. Look back on my last weight, 179. Today I weighed in at 183.3, sick. I hate how I feel since I stopped working hard and didn't care about my eating so hopefully after the 30 days, I will be more motivated to maintain rather than going hog wild. July and August included my BF being here for 4 weeks, Brody's birthday with Costco cake, my birthday celebrated 3 times, each with dessert and I think having the kids home for the summer contributed some.

I recommend this book, she is awesome and very motivating. You can tell she has worked with fat people (biggest loser) and has heard excuses and knows how to keep you going.
After writing this post, now I'm excited for the results. She claims there should be results every week.
September 22nd is 30 days, just in time to start another fit camp.

I haven't quit!

I thought the holidays were the hard time to lose weight! I think July is the hard time to lose weight. Since July 4th my discipline has been meh. We've gone on little vacations, had visitors, birthdays and of course, I've been sleeping in. I'm at 179 but I feel like I've gained belly fat with all the carbs and sugar.
I've decided that when school starts on the 19th, I will get back into it. It will really help to have a routine and schedule. My goal this year is to run a half marathon. And in November there is a triathlon that I would like to do, so I will also start training for that as my workouts.
