Week 3 Day 23

Holly smokes does time ever fly!!

I’ve been keeping up with my weight watchers (diligently!). As well a girlfriend and I have signed up for a half marathon running clinic. I was sick last week, so the only exercise I got was a day snowboarding (which left my feeling it the next day!). Thus far I have lost a total of 6lbs!! I’m pretty excited about that! I’m really looking forward to seeing some results! I was so upset when I saw a picture of me at New Years...I wanted to die! I couldn’t believe that I let myself go... Again, I really want that body I had while in the Dominican- and better!  I also hope to accomplish the half marathon in 2hrs (anything under 2:10 I suppose I’d be happy with!)...

G and I are getting ready to take off for a snowboarding trip to Montana with another couple, we are SO looking forward to the vacation, and I really hope to stick to my work out routine!

Hopefully by Monday I will be back to my gym routine, as I know that will only help the results show faster!



My goal....

Week 1 Day 2

I went to the gym and did a lower body work out after I ran 15mins on the treadmill. It feels great to be back at it, but I’m so down about my body...I know it will take hard work, I just wish my partner was on the same boat at me, and maybe when drastic results start showing he’ll realize he’ll want to get on the same page. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very athletic person, but it’s the food and drinks that has done us both in. We’re starting to look like were “too comfortable”. I refuse to EVER get to that point. I’m really looking forward to starting my half marathon clinic with Kate! It will be nice to have a friend that I see a few times a week that is wanting to get involved in a healthy lifestyle.

I ate pretty well today, I had my porridge, apple, total of 3 hard boiled eggs, almonds and then at dinner Graeme surprised me with Thai and I splurged on chocolate...this is NOT part of the wild rose program. However based on my day relating to family, I could have done a lot worse. I’m back at it today...I guess I need to find the balance.

Week 1 Day 1 Take 2!

So the last three weeks (maybe 4 weeks) have been terrible! I’ve eaten whatever my heart desired, drank whatever came my way and didn’t exercise except maybe 1 or 2 walks... TERRIBLE!

But I was back at the gym today and did my HIT 20mins on the treadmill, although I struggled a bit, I figure a few more times I’ll be back at it!

I’ve started the wild rose cleanse too, as I feel my body needs a good detox! I hope I can last the 12 days!!

I start my half marathon clinic next Thursday so I’m excited for that! – Here’s to being fit!!

I will continue to do BFL excerices, but I've decided against the meal plan. It doesn't work for me, too much food! I will continue keeping weight watcher points :)

BIG changes are to come this year! Fingers crossed! The results come as I want them!

Before I hit the gym this morning I had an apple along with the vitamins for WRC.

After my workout and shower I made myself some porridge with frozen berries and almond milk (actually pretty good!)

For a snack I had an apple with 12 almonds

Lunch I made up the night before a salad with avocado, green bell pepper, tomatoes, and strawberries with a WRC dressing: Olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt and lemon juice. I added a hardboiled egg for protein.

For my afternoon snack I had another hardboiled egg with an apple and a few more almonds

When I got home I had  a hardboiled egg and of course popcorn with  butter from the theatre.

I was craving anything and everything. I had a slight headache but I continued to drink a lot of water. I stopped in at my Grandparents house and was anxious to get home and eat. I ended up going to see a Movie with my brother and his girlfriend where I indulged in popcorn (which your allowed on the Wild Rose Cleanse- believe it or not) and I drank a huge thing of water ( I can’t believe people actually drink pop from those things!) - not a great choice for dinner...However, my eating for the day was all in all pretty good.
