this most current challenge is a bit behind schedule. i’ve been sick this week and have missed the last two days of workouts. we were out of town last weekend for our wedding shower so i missed workouts then as well. i’m down about 3 pounds so far in the past few weeks which is good because it’s a loss but not on track, that’s for sure.


i’m getting in my workouts during the week but i’m due for a change in routine. i recently worked out at home for a lower and an upper day and the workouts were phenomenal which i think was in a huge part due to the fact that the exercises were all different. tomorrow is a cardio day and i should have time them to work on much needed new upper and lower body routines. that will definitely help rise me out of this plateau and enter these next few weeks before my wedding with some serious steam.


my eating is going suprisingly good. i’ve been continuing the practice of making a sandwich for lunch and doing a shake for my first meal of the day. i’ve been trying to wait a little longer when eating the shake because i was only waiting about 30-40 minutes before which is short of the prescribed 60 minutes. anyhow, i’ve been trying to wait that 60 minutes now. my meals on friday night and sunday need some work but really aren’t that bad. i think sunday needs less work than friday evening. i prefer to finish the week out on a very solid note leading into a free day.


since i’ve been sick the past few days i’ve been trying to recuperate which in itself is actually a good thing. i think i may have been getting burned out by exercising the past 17 weeks straight. i do feel that urge now that it’s been a few days though. you know that urge to get your blood flowing and really get a great workout in? i’m sure i’ll be fulfilling that urge soon.
