Negavite Nancy Silenced Again

Had another great day.  Every muscle in my body is still sore from my weight class on Tuesday and again Negative Nancy begged me to stay home and skip the Thursday class.  I did not listen, completely ignored her, even when she screamed in pain during the ab portion of the class.  So another good day and cooking some yummy thyme chicken for supper *stomach growls*.

My husband had a check up this week and found out he has high cholesterol.  This really didn’t surprise us, but I think it gave him the push he needed to get back on the treadmill.

FU Negative Nancy

Not only did I wake up late this morning, but everything hurt from my pinkie toe to my hair roots.  Negative Nancy was screaming at me to stay home, lay on the couch and rest my weary muscles.  Did I listen, almost… even though I’m not a cusser I got right off the couch and went for a 3 mile nature walk.  So FU Negative Nancy, FU!

Another day on track

This morning was hard, I didn’t want to do anything. The tendonitis in my left hand was killing me and it’s my strength training day. The Negative Nancy that lives in my head was strong and argued I should rest because my cake decorating class was tonight and how would I be able to decorate a cake after lifting weights? I didn’t listen and went to a Women and Weights class at the gym. My hand actually felt better afterwards, then I spent the next four hours making frosting. Seriously if I would’ve known it was going to take 4 freakin’ hours I would’ve done it last weekend and split it up. If was for a rainbow cake, so lots of different colors. Anyway, food prep burns like 200 calories an hour, so that’s like 800 calories! My back feels it too. Class was great and my husband is taking the cake to work tomorrow so it won’t be here to tempt me. I admit I tasted the cake and frosting. I couldn’t let other people eat it until I knew it was ok. I did keep it to just a bite. It was yummy and my first cake decorating experience was a success.

Tomorrow is a New Day

Had a rough week, last week was so good and this one was, well it wasn’t good. Monday was great, but then Tuesday I was sidetracked by the 3 hour dentist visit. Wednesday was good, but Thursday and Friday were awful. I didn’t get in any exercise and made poor food choices. My weight is holding steady but I can’t help but be disappointed in myself for not sticking to my plan.

So, bottom line, I fell off the wagon pretty hard last week. Life just got in the way and instead of making room; I did what I always do and gave up.

Thanks to the support from my wonderful husband I have done some serious soul searching this weekend and am feeling good about tomorrow. I have sat down and made a detailed schedule of my week. I have made sure not to overload my day and I gave myself plenty of time for workouts.

I feel really good, ready to move on from the downfalls of last week and to the euphoria of being good to myself.

Meet and Greet with New Torturer… um I Mean Trainer

Today was a good day. I got up early which is not normal for me and went to the gym. I did 33 minutes of cardio and my thighs are feeling it.

Met with the trainer, Andrew, and it sounds like he has a great workout philosophy. A lot of resistance training, working on balance and toning.

Oh and today was a weigh-in day, lost 3 lbs last week. Yay! Ok I know it’s water weight, but still… Yay!
