Day 7

NET CALORIES: 1780

I MADE IT THROUGH WEEK ONE!!!

So proud of myself for sticking this out so far. This is the first time in over a year that I have prioritized and stuck with an exercise goal for a week. That sounds kind of ridiculous but it is also because I set way too high of expectations in the past. This workout is easier to maintain because it's at my home. Also, I guess I technically have not finished my "week 1" because I didn't to the Legs/Back day of P90X. To catch up, I'll do four days of resistance this week and two cardio. Then, on my "week 4" or recovery week, I will put in Kenpo on the Monday and then follow the rest of the week. For those of you unfamiliar with the P90X program, here is a website explaining my workout schedule.

As for my nutrition breakdown, I had a net calorie intake this week of 1501. Though it is a bit higher than my 1275 goal, it is perfect to me. I can't set the expectation that I'll be perfect on the first week with my portion control. But even with this number, I know I'll definitely still lose weight. Now I just need a legit scale to really monitor the progress...




I feel like I really slacked off this weekend with too many sweets and snacks. One of the things I need to keep reminding myself is that I'm working out to create better habits. It's not JUST about the calories, It's about cleansing my body. I'll just have to keep really regimen diets during those workweeks and hope that's enough. I'm not too upset about this but don't want to eat too much and then expand my stomach. And it's even worse because I'm sitting next to my husband right now who is eating a gigantic bowl of coconut curry and it smells divine.
