Yay, it’s the final week of the challenge! In general, it was a good week, although I did not see a big change. My biggest accomplishment with this challenge was that I finally started working out. I am now on week 2 with my personal trainer, and am loving it! Not actually loving the workouts, if you know what I mean, but the fact that I finally got off my ass and started working...
After my first successful attempt at a #7DayChip, I have decided to start a new challenge. This time it will be workout-based. This is my commitment for the next 7 days: Workout at least 20 minutes each day. I have 1-hour Personal Training sessions twice a week, but the other 5 days I will limit myself to 20-30 minutes. Drink at least 64oz. of water. This one is easy because I’m currently drinking between...
This week was sooo much better than the last! I actually didn’t work out at all (no motivation), and I didn’t lose too much weight, but after being stuck for the past 2 weeks, I decided to do the #7DayChip challenge with Monica, and it payed off! I watched everything I ate and increased my water intake, and it finally gave me the motivation I needed to keep going. Check out my chip here!...
And so it ends. 7 straight days of achieving my daily goals. Some days were easy, and some were hard. But guess what? I DID IT!! And even better? I’m alive. OK so maybe you’re thinking that 7 days is not a big deal, right? Well, in my case it is. I usually stay on track for 3-4 days, then take an off day, and start again. Not this time. I stuck to my...
I didn’t post yesterday, so I’m merging yesterday and today into 1 post. First of all, yesterday was a good day. I had been out all day Friday and Saturday, so I stayed home all day Sunday and simply vegged out. Thanks to this, I was able to eat right and drink my water. Today? Not so easy. I was still hungover from my weekend activities so I woke up late and had a...
If I thought day 3 was hard, day 4 was worse! Again, I was out all day with hubs, lil man, and my mom. Thankfully, I chose wisely again and had a chicken wrap, which had tons of lettuce and tomatoes. But the worst part came at dinner. I wasn’t prepared for the dinner invite we got from friends, AN HOUR before getting there! Worst part? It was IHOP!! I love all the food...
I knew that the 3rd day of the #7DayChip challenge was going to be difficult because I was going to be out of my house most of the day. It’s very hard to stick to your healthy eating habits when you’re eating out. Fortunately the friend I was with agreed to go to a salad place! I had a yummy chicken breast wrap with spinach, tons of veggies, dried cranberries, and fat-free dressing. On...
Yesterday I started the #7DayChip challenge, which is basically a commitment to achieve any personal goals you set, for 7 consecutive days. So far I can safely say it has been a SUCCESS!! I’m super motivated, especially knowing that I have two of the most amazing partners a person could ask for. Monica is my #7DayChip partner and inspiration, and Crystal is my “Mommy McFatties” teammate on the Spring in 2 Action challenge from...
As most of you know, I’m currently doing the Spring in 2 Action challenge from The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I am super motivated about this, and have been blogging about it here. However, the past two weeks have not been as stellar. I have not completely fallen off the wagon, but I guess the fact that I haven’t been 100% consistent has finally caught up with me. I have stayed at 191...
This week was a real wake-up call. I didn’t completely fall off the wagon, but I still didn’t lose weight. I used My Fitness Pal to track most days, and I can see that those days were good, but I can’t vouch for the ones I didn’t track. To make it worse? I have to stop the Jenny Craig program for financial reasons, which means that I’m completely on my own now. The only...
