It's been hard to keep up with posting, but I assure you I've been doing the workouts!

Here's where I left off...

Saturday (STATurday):
Weight: 190  My weight went up a little over the illness, but I wasn't worried about it.
All other measurements were the same
I got my grocery shopping done, and enjoyed the weekend as I rested and saw some family.

Sunday:
It was Stretch day, which I didn't do, but I did stick to my calories very well.

Monday: Focus T25 Alpha - Week 2
workout: Cardio
It was easier today, and I was able to breathe better which always helps.
calories: on track

Tuesday:
workout: Total Body Circuit
This killed me! This was one I didn't do in my sick week, so it hurt!
calories: on track, but hungry!!!  I had a hard time today with just feeling hungry and deprived

Wednesday:
workout: Speed 1.0
This is getting easier, and I felt good about my ability - had to do it alone, but I did it!
calories: today I learned the importance of balancing calories and cravings - I REALLY wanted chinese, so I built my whole day around it!  Woo hoo!  I also started feeling really good about snacking on raw fruits and veggies.

Thursday:
workout: Cardio
Getting easier, and I'm able to do more of the moves without modifying.  I am amazed at how much stronger I feel already.
calories: still on track - but I learned a little something about BMR from the Mama Laughlin Fit Camp group I subscribe to on facebook.  Turns out - I've been eating too few calories for my body and level of activity, that's why I feel so hungry.  Duh!  So, I have to adjust my thinking.  Of course, there are good calories and bad, so I just have to make sure to eat MORE of the things that are good for me, like protein, fiber, good fats (nuts), and some solid dairy.  I have been only drinking water and coffee, with the occasional post-workout chocolate milk or juice.  I'm feeling good about my choices, and I think I can actually see a difference in my face shape!

Friday (Today):
DOUBLE DAY!
workout: Lower Focus & Ab Intervals
Ok, so I was able to rock lower focus with very minimal modification.  Abs on the other hand...well...that's a different story.  Wow, my core is WEAK!  I wasn't able to make it through the video, but I did what I could so I can get a little stronger.  I am going to try to do that video again tomorrow, maybe I was just spent after the first one.
calories: Today, I had Village Inn - No, it was not a great choice.  Yes, it was delicious!  I was actually really hungry for eggs, and I wanted them from a restaurant.  Should I have only had the eggs and some canadian bacon, and maybe some whole wheat toast?  Ok, you've got me there.  But dammit, I wanted the frickin biscuits and gravy!!!  Luckily, it was "brunch" and I had only had some fruit for breakfast, so it didn't kill me on calories for the day.  I'm having a light dinner.  :)

I also bought a new watch that tracks heart rate and calories.  I hope it's accurate, because I'm going to use those readings!  I think on average, I'm burning almost 300 calories during these workouts.  Mostly because I'm so out of shape, but hey, it works for now!

Tomorrow: STATS!
Oh, and I'll be at solo/small group music contest all day, so I'm going to wear my pedometer and track how much I'm walking for the day.  That should be fun!
