Wow! What a great week this has been! After weighing in this week, I am so proud of myself. I was "only" down a half of a pound at weigh in, but after a week of being off track, I somehow managed to get back on track and actually LOSE weight this week. To me, that half pound is not just a half pound, it is one step closer to where I want to be. I think we all just have to remember that it's the small victories that will get us to where we ultimately want to be.
This week, my body is feeling stronger. I am super sore right now after making it out of Insanity certification and this morning's P90X, but I love being sore! I also was down a few inches with my measurements, which was great to see, and I am definitely noticing that all my clothes are starting to fall off. lol
This week, I feel like I have learned a lot. I have started to really see the difference when I focus on my form. Going through Insanity certification class also taught me a lot. It was interesting to learn about cueing workout classes. I think it would be awesome to get to my goal and be able to teach a class! I feel like throughout this Journey, I am learning every day. I am also learning that my past experiences are helping to motivate me work harder to make my future better.
My OH YEAH moment this week had to be the half pound loss. I am a half pound closer then I was last week, and because of that half pound, I have pushed a lot harder through my workouts this week. It's amazing what seeing change can do for your motivation, even if it is only small change!
My goals this past week were to stay on track with food and make a plan for my vacation. I have done GREAT with my goals for this week! I ate super healthy, and my plan for this week is below:
Tuesday: Hot yoga at 8 and Bootcamp at 615 PM
Wednesday: P90X 545 AM
Thursday: Hot yoga 8 AM
Friday: Run outside at Shannon’s or workout DVD
Saturday: Run outside at Melissa’s (or Beach walk or DVD)
Sunday: Run outside at Melissa’s (or Beach walk or DVD)
I plan to make this vacation the LEAST lazy one I have ever had. Hold me accountable!! :)
My goal for this next week is to stay on track with food while I am on vacation and to not let my temptations get in the way. I know I will probably have a few drinks while going out for my friends birthday. So that I don't go overboard, I have already tracked 3 drinks in my tracker for Friday and Saturday just to be safe. I figure, I have not had a drink in a long time, so as long as I make a plan for it, it is ok to have OCCASIONALLY, but I will not let it derail my weight loss.
This week, Flo has really shown up and inspired me! She is an awesome coach! She is always there when I need to tell someone I am struggling, and it is nice to know that she goes through the same stuff I am going through. We are in this together, and it is awesome! I have also been motivated by Tamika and Latysha! Seeing them push hard through kickboxing kept me pushing hard!
This week has been a great one, and now I feel like I am prepared (both mentally and physically) for a great vacation week!
Danielle you are definitely a inspiration to me girl. I see you pushing in every class and I even told my friend that was there that you are completely awesome and so motivating. You have such a positive outlook on things and it is so refreshing every time we talk. You look amazing. Keep it up and enjoy your vacation because you definitely deserve it. Come back even strong. And I can't say enough about how I was inspired by you getting Insanity certified, I couldn't even imagine. I see you teaching class and kicking butt! Go girl!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks so much Latysha!! :) I hope I get to teach somewhere! I think it would be fun! I am doing great on vacation so far, finally making the most of my time off...very little time to be a bum! :) Thanks for your help in keeping me going!!
