T25 Week 2 REWIND!!

Yup, you read that right!! I'm about to get real right now, be candid and lay it on the line, show you that I'm HUMAN and that even I make mistakes and need a little kick in the pants from time to time. Here we go...

So I started week 2 of my T25, Chalean Extreme hybrid last Monday. I felt great, I pushed hard, ate clean and thought it was going to be a great week. Well shortly after my morning workout we discovered that my husband's ankle was swollen and black and blue, so off he went for x-rays and discovered a pretty bad sprain. I told myself that even though I was losing my workout buddy (we were SO stoked to be doing this as a team) I would continue on this journey strong and keep the spirit alive for him when he was ready to return. 

 So Tuesday rolled around and I was definitely bummed he couldn't work out with me and those ugly little excuses started to roll right in like a freight train. I can't believe I actually uttered the words "well I'll just make today my rest day and workout on Saturday", but I did. And I skipped my workout and went on with my day. For the most part I ate clean and stuck to my meal plan although I could have used some more water.

Wednesday came and I felt better. I actually knocked out TWO workouts, T25 and Chalean Extreme, I had my fire back. I turned up the music, had my son dancing next to me and I was pumped!! I sat there at the end of my workout trying to truly soak up that AMAZING feeling I was experiencing so that next time I didn't want to work out I could dig deep and remember how great I always feel when it's done.

Thursday, the 4th of July, came and I was confident that I would make good decisions even though it was going to be my cheat meal. I woke up early and did my workout before we headed out of town, made my 4th of July Shakeology and again I felt great about my decision to rise and shine! I started my day off with my normal pro-oats breakfast and brought some healthy snacks (apple/almonds and tuna packets). My brother-in-law and sister-in-law did some amazing BBQ and fresh summer salads so I knew I this cheat meal wasn't going to be so bad after all. I wouldn't be left feeling guilty for the choices I had made. My down fall was helping to clean up...not the cleaning up the kitchen part, but the "oh I didn't try this earlier, let me try a bite of that, oh this looks good" So after all was said and done my little nibbles in the kitchen probably added up to anther meal in itself...EKKK!!! THIS my friends is where I feel very guilty and was the start of my downward spiral...I'll spare all the details but Friday, Saturday and Sunday consisted of no workouts, fairly good eating, I had my daily Shakeology, but didn't stick to a meal plan at all and definitely felt sluggish. I have conditioned my body to expect certain things to make it thrive, regular workouts, Shakeology, clean eating, no processed or very carb heavy foods and I didn't deliver. I have no one to blame but myself, but this pity party is OVER!!!

Today my husband is back to work, and we have a new schedule we all have to stick to. For me this means getting up at 5am whether I like it or not. Getting in that workout and starting the day off right with a healthy breakfast. I've decided to take this story and give it a happy ending. That means that I will start week 2 T25/Chalean Extreme over again today. That I will not beat myself up. That I will prove its ok to make mistakes and fall off the wagon BUT you have to dust yourself off and GET BACK ON!! I have prepared my meal plan for the week. Shopped, cooked and prepped my meals and I'm ready to take this week head on. 

To hold myself accountable I will post here that my morning weigh in was 154.3. If you've been following my journey you know last week I weighed in at 153.2 and you may be thinking "WAIT...you're freaking out over ONE POUND?" But folks, you KNOW it's not about that pound. I am NOT a scale fan, its about my lifestyle choices that I'm unhappy. It's about not being the example of health and fitness that I aim to be. So it's time to turn the page and get this week on the road. Follow my progress at Healthy Girl Fitness and, stay tuned for an AWESOME week!!
