Well yesterday I did ok during the day, but was pretty tired and didn't do my workout. Then last night I should have gone to bed because there was a lot of cravings. Many people were eating chips in the house, and it made me crave them. I did a healthier choice for chips, having sunchips...but grabbed the bag and probably had 2-3 servings after 9pm instead of just grabbing one. Time to get stronger and not give in. I wish I could just get rid of the chips, but everyone else gets mad if I do. Oh well I gotta get used to being in situations where I make better choices.
So today I woke up earlier than normal thanks to the little one. She was up at 5am. I was ok with that seeing I was actually awake too. I ended up eating a quick breakfast of just honey nut cheerios though instead of making a breakfast. Its hard to cook in the morning when the little one is up already. She is a bit clingy. It snowed last night so I decided to go out and shovel the snow. I could have let my husband plow or wait for it to melt more, but I thought it would be a good workout. The fresh stuff was pretty easy, but there was a lot of packed down snow from a few days ago that had drifted and didn't get plowed. That took a lot of work and I felt like I was getting a workout. It took me about an hour and a half to shovel the driveway(Its quite a bit of area).
I did ok eating today, but could have used to get more veggies in I think. I guess I could actually go make myself a snack still and get more in. I went to the grocery store today also and got some more. My husband doesn't realize that fresh stuff doesn't last that long and I have to go at least once a week or more for that stuff. So I made sure to buy some frozen veggies too. I like the steamer ones. I had some mixed veggies tonight with dinner.
I am kind of proud of myself tonight too. I say kind of because I only did the strength training even though I was going to do the whole workout. I am proud that during the strength training I did every pushup on my toes! That is the first....this includes 15 first round, 12 second round and 10 third round. I even felt like I could have done more on the third round. I was pretty happy with this, especially after watching who could do more pushups Ellen, or Michelle Obama.
Today wraps up the second week of the third week challenge. I am ready to be strong and really push myself this third week. Tomorrow I will weigh in and see where I am at. Seeing I was out shovelling I forgot to weigh myself this morning. I am thinking I will see good results again. I am going to go make myself a smoothie to help cool off after the sweat inducing workout I just did...and think about this weeks goals and see where I can do better.
