While I have been getting my workouts in, I haven't really been doing much in changing what I eat. I have been eating less....most days just breakfast and dinner...... because I haven't been really hungry but other than that not much on the nutrition front. I managed to get in a vegetable with at least one meal this past week even though I was shooting for a veggie with every meal. As far as the mini challenge goes, I revisited a veggie that I do not like...Brussel Sprouts.... I usually just boil them and add a little salt and I found that I still DON'T like them. Maybe I need a different way to cook them since boiling is rather basic.
Water isn't really an issue for me because it is my drink of choice most days so I did meet that goal as far as the challenge goes. I also managed to get in my 4 days of working out so I met that goal as well. I did not weigh myself at the beginning of the challenge so I don't know whether or not I met the weight loss goal but although I'm attempting to become a reformed "scale whore" I guess one more weigh in won't hurt.
This week, I will continue with the water, try to get in a veggie with at least 2 meals ( baby steps, baby steps) and I will incorporate strength training into my workouts since I seem to have my cardio down with Zumba.
I don't know what it is with me because as much as I love weight training, I just cannot seem to pick up a weight. I recently received Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and the plan was to begin yesterday but for some reason I just could not make myself do it. I have Insanity, P90X, Cathe Friedrich STS and all types of training programs..structured programs, in which all I would need to do is pick up the weights and follow along. I've even printed out the routine for the Cathe workouts and done them at the gym on a few occasions but for whatever reason, I just can't get myself motivated to start back up so my goal will be to do at least 2 days of strength training this week. Wish me luck!
Getting it right,
