Day 25 & 26

Y.I.K.E.S.

Reflection
What's the problem Steph? Why are you 'yikes'-ing? We'll here. I'll admit it.

Net Calories: 2215 and 2510

Yes it's true, this may possibly be my worst week. Unless I fast all of tomorrow, I will average at least 250 more calories than the past couple weeks. I made a goal. And I haven't been holding myself to it.

But I forbid myself to feel bad, make and excuse, or obsess over my weaknesses. Because that is my biggest weakness: thinking I've gone too far from my goal and quitting. I do it in all aspects of my life and terminate my goal process before seeing the true progress. I'm started to realize I have to push myself do get anything and everything done. So I'm not quitting on myself this time. I've promised myself to write. I've promised myself to finish and get back into shape. And so I WILL!

Day 24

Net calories: 1350

"You can do anything for 30 seconds." - Tony Horton

This phrase is seriously on repeat in my head the whole time I'm working through Plyometrics

Reflection
I am finally ate more reasonably today which is great. I was really proud of myself when I chose to go to pandera over five guys tonight. Although I did sneak a fry...

Exercising is seriously SOOOO amazing to me. I always have more energy afterwards, sleep better, and genuinely want to be more healthy. It just the getting yourself to do it part that's the hardest...which is what this blog is for!

Day 23

Net Calories: 1690

love the quote. but this girl is like...13. haha!

Reflection
Today was certainly better for net calories but I'm still over 400 calories away from my 1275 goal. I really don't have a good excuse for overeating too. I wasn't thinking. But "it is what it is" as my dad always says. I can't sulk in the past but must instead make the commitment to not do it tomorrow :)

Day 22

Net Calories: 1900

Last week's average calories: 1453

Reflection
ON LAST WEEK: I am proud of myself for staying on task with my calories despite the lack of working out. I'm still not going to get the ultimate results I WANT if I keep decreasing my workout amount.

ON TODAY: Moving day was today. Oh my goodness today was soooooooo stressful. I definitely stress ate because of it. I'm sure it's possible I burned more calories with all the cleaning but thought to be safer. So wow! So many calories. And not very healthy ones at that. I definitely have my work cut out to get me back on track.

Day 20 & 21

Net Calories: 1850 Saturday & 1820 Sunday

Reflection
Well...it's an oopsie daisy couple of days for me. This is one of my all-time favorite images to motivate me. **secret** I have an album on my iPad with tons of these images that I can flip through when I'm not feeling motivated. Obviously I have not been looking at it...but if I could say what I've learned in the past couple days it's this. There is never an excuse. And I will be better.
I know there is never a reason to make an excuse but all this packing and saying goodbye to people has been exceptionally draining. So let me rephrase my prior statement: I will be better AND realistic. Tomorrow is moving day so I will have to skip again then but I'll come in full force on Tuesday. I should be able to finish my third week this week.

Day 19

NET CALORIES: 1450

that's exactly what I look like when I workout at home

Reflection
Well happy Friday to all! I cleaned the house today instead of P90X because we have to have a perfect looking house before we move. It's a lot of work and certainly burning my calories right.
