Bout time!

Well last week was a flop.  Monday starting out with a bang as my son started projectile vomiting.  This lasted until Tuesday.  I woke up early Wednesday morning planing to work out.  I got up and thought uh oh....I feel sick.  Shortly thereafter My husband came home telling me he wasn't feeling well.  We spent all of Wednesday with the flu. Thursday was recovering.  Friday and Saturday I do not have a good reason for not working out.  I just didn't.  I started back up on Sunday with Tennis lessons.  So much fun.  I've gotten back to Insanity - even went back a week to make up for last week.  So, I've officially got 4 weeks left!  Thats it! 1 2 3 4!  Super excited about that one.  Next up is Les mills Pump and running.  Debating about adding on some Tai Cheng as well but we'll see. 

Food wise - I've been careful.  I've decided to start counting calories.  I hate doing that.  I've put it off for so long but clearly my weight loss is not moving like it should.  So - I need to do what i hate.  And so far, so good.  I feel good and am making healthy decisions on what and when to eat.  :)   Tomorrow i go back to the bodpod so we'll see where my weight comes in to play.  It will be interesting to see how my muscle to fat ratio has changed.

Wednesday Weigh In

Yowza!  Where have i been with these?  Down to the nitty gritty - I weighed in at 188.  :) 

Today I've done very well, and feel amazing!  I walked to the library - which means I walked up a giant hill - and back.  I haven't walked that hill since last summer and my legs are killing me!  I came home and did Insanity - I'm in recovery week now.   So now my legs are really killing me! Oh well, I love feeling sore in my glutes, knowing that I worked hard. 

I recently joined the Team Beachbody Club.   At first I wasn't sure what to think of it.  Then today, I tried some recipe's.  It has me on a low carb plan (NOOOOOOO) lol.  Today I had rice, easy cheesy chicken, and carrot fries.  the carrot fries were awesome.  I'm sharing the recipe because they were just so good.  So, enjoy :)
