Weekly Results!

Good news first! I lost 1.8 lbs this week and 1/4 " off my thigh, upper and lower abs as well as 1/2" off my butt. I rocked out Hip Meta Sequence 4, 5 times this week so far and a minimum of 30 minutes dance cardio as well. My diet was pretty awesome too!

 I've been trying out eating a decent sized breakfast full of complex carbs and protein. This was Friday's 2 eggs scrambled with a tsp. of homemade pesto mixed in over a sprouted grain bagel. This keeps me full until lunchtime. I think that since I workout in the morning I need to make sure and fuel myself adequetley or else I am starving all day!

Lunch has been a huge green salad, usually spinach, topped with more salad! This delicious kale salad I got from Whole Foods. A splurge again, but I split it up into 3 salads. Then I'll add a protein, organic baked chicken, organic roasted turkey meat, tuna...

                                                

Dinner is either more veggies and protein and a small portion of quinoa or other complex carb. I have been enjoying my kefir, ezekiel cereal and chia seeds for dinner as well. I've had a super busy week so that is a quick and easy dinner that leaves me full for awhile.

So on to the not so good news...I went out to a comedy show Thursday night and had a great time and probably 2 drinks too many. :( Then I didn't get home until midnight and just couldn't bare getting up at 5am to workout, especially since I had to go out again that night. I did get my workout in though!! I packed all my supplies and took them to work. When I got my little two year old down for her nap, I rocked out the mat work and danced for 30 minutes in the kitchen to BDC. It was my first time dancing on hard wood floors and I have to say I didn't see a huge difference compared to the carpeting we have in our apartment. I also made myself walk with the jog stroller 2 miles to the playground, uphill with some skipping tossed in, and jogged all the way home. I haven't ran since December so it felt great in a weird way.

On to that evening, I promised my best friend I'd be moral support for her as she was being auctioned off for a date to raise money for Team In Training, who raises money for Lymphoma and Leukemia. I was so tired after not getting enough sleep the night before, drinking and rocking out a jog! It was at this horrible club near Union Square. She was dead last in the auctioning so I was there for over 3 hours. I ended up having several beers, (at least they were "light beer!") When the whole thing was over we went to a Hookah Bar and smoked and drank wine and I got home finally at 2am. 

Okay, now that I have confessed my sins, I feel a little better. It is so hard living in the city and not drinking or staying out late. There is always something going on and I miss adult interaction during the week when I'm busy being a nanny.

I still got up at 8 today and did my ms and DC07. I am so sore today though! Not sure if it's from the run or sequence 4 but man my quads and butt are killing! I really want to work out tomorrow, even though Sunday is usually my rest day but I missed Monday last week and want to at least maintain my results.

My husband took pictures this morning of me in my bathing suit and I'm pretty horrified and embarrassed.  There is just a layer of fat over the top of my muscles that I need to loose! I'm hoping the photos will motivated me to stop self sabotaging myself with too many drinks and not getting enough rest. I am very proud of how I ate this week, so there's that...

I have brunch tomorrow and next Sunday as well as girls night next Friday. I'm not sure how I will ever get where I want with my social life being like it is. Next Friday's weigh in and measurements should be telling...
