Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 86 - And thoughts on getting out of my fat suit...

 
Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 86
 
 
Well I have not written a blog for a few days. My laptop died :-(  making it much more difficult to blog while watching TV.  Oh well, now I have the password to my son's laptop so until I buy a new one I am back on track.  Weighed in on Saturday with a 2.5lb loss this week.  I am very happy with that.  This gives me a total of over 28 lbs. in 12 weeks and 34 lbs. from my top weight.
 
Saturday's workout was good, really did feel like I worked out.  We did "super sets" with Sarah.  My shoulders are still sore from the chest press exercise.  That is one set of muscles I have that need a lot of work.  I received my new nutrition plan from Leanne after my Saturday morning check in.  High breakfast, Low lunch and an almond milk and protein powder shake for dinner.  Hmmmm... not sure how well it's going to go.  A shake for dinner just does not feel like dinner.  Just might be a recipe for falling off the wagon.
 
Sunday I had every intention of going to the boot camp at 10 am but I woke up with a headache and I was tired so I didn't go.  I kind of felt guilty.  Just goes to show, left to my own devices I don't push myself as hard as I get pushed by my trainers.  I need your guys to kick my ass every time!
 
Today is day 3 of the milkshake for dinner routine.  I came home from my Monday night TF+ workout.  Eric worked us out hard.  Maybe me a little more.  I always set myself up to get my ass kicked, and I am always thankful when I do.  I had to do so many stairs!!  Followed by my extra 20 minutes on the treadmill as prescribed by Leanne.  I seem to always be the one on the treadmill after our workouts on my own.  Maybe the others are more disciplined than me but I believe if I don't do it right after the workout I might not get it in later and I don't want to take that chance.  No matter how tired I am I ask myself how bad do I want to shed this fat suit? The answer is always the same "really badly" and I get on the treadmill at 6 or 7 incline 3.5 speed and I do 20 minutes and when I am done I feel good!  I got home, had my almond milk shake with protein powder, watched TV for a bit and went to bed hungry.
 
Tonight is not so bad.  I saved my snack and ate it with my liquid dinner.  I just needed to crunch something.  I then when to the Rec Center and did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the elliptical.  I didn't do weights, since my department Christmas Party has been delayed until after the New Year I will be doing weights with the trainer at Harry Jerome tomorrow night and my Team workout at TF on Thursday.  Now off to my son's hockey game.
