I didn’t make it….

It’s time to admit defeat :-(  I didn’t complete the 30 day Shred, in fact I haven’t touched it since I came back from my weekend away!

It is what it is!  I just can’t keep myself motivated when it comes to exercise. That’s not to say I’ve given up completely. The past couple of weeks I’ve just been eating and drinking what I want again, and my weight (and well being) is suffering for it.  I went out last night with my friend Cheryl and her sister. Cheryl was treating me to dinner for my birthday. We went to a little Italian Market restaurant and I once again ate Waaaaay too much food. First we had Mushroom Bruschetta with truffel oil which was to die for, then I had a pizza. Granted the crust was very very thin, and it had basil pesto, grilled ribbons of carrot and goat cheese on and mushrooms, but I just ate too much of it, and had a couple of glasses of wine too. Cheryl took our picture with her phone and I couldn’t help but think that my face looked so fat! That was it . . .

Today I start again, to make a concerted effort to eat less, eat better and get out and walk again. I got on the scale last night (just for the record I’ll mention this) and was 130lb! This morning I was 127.8

I went out for a walk this morning for 30 minutes around the neighborhood. I’m going to count my points again and use WW to help me eat better and less.

We’ll see how it goes.

Day 20

So Saturday was day 18 and Sunday day 19 and didn’t do the workout as I mentioned because I was doing yard work instead. Yesterday I didn’t even do the yard work! I was awake a lot on Saturday night when my throat started to hurt. It wasn’t a scratchy kind of sore throat but just hurt on one side when I swallowed and it was making my ear ache a bit too. When I got up on Sunday morning my head and face were aching a lot too. I took some Ibruprofen and Sudafed and after a couple of hours felt a little better, but I just didn’t feel up to working out be it in the yard or with the dvd.

I went to bed last night at 8pm I was so tired and my head was aching again. Today I don’t feel so bad, still took the Sudafed and the Ibuprofen this morning for the face/headache but I felt well enough to do the workout.

I can’t say I’m noticing any changes to my body though, and if I’m honest I’m really not putting as much effort in to it as I probably should. After this many days I really feel more worn out than better for it. I can’t wait to have this over with!!

Day 15, 16 and 17!!!

Wednesday was day 15 and I must confess I didn't do the workout. I had to go for my yearly well-woman appointment at the Dr's and then I ran errands so by the time I got home it was lunch time, and well, I just kept putting off, did laundry etc and then it was bedtime :-(

It's getting really hard to stay motivated doing this I must admit. I did the workout on Thurday before 8am even and then again yesterday. But it's the weekend and guess what . . . I'm not gonna do the dvd! I'll be working out in the back yard instead. It's like a jungle out there in the veggie beds and now that the mornings are cooling down I can get out there and start pulling weeds (and old rotten veg!) outta there! That will be my workouts for Saturday and Sunday.
