Day 56 Complete!

Hi all! Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine went pretty well and almost according to plan. Definitely splurged a bit on food and wine but I don't think I went too overboard.

I maintained my goal to do all 4 days of Hip Meta level 6 daily and about an hour of dance cardio as well. I'm so glad that I own all of Tracy's dance workouts, it really prevents boredom. If I stay on track I will be done with level 6 by Friday. Saturday, I may start level 7 or take a yoga class with my sister. I have no plans to take a full rest day unless it's unavoidable, which I'm sure will happen. Tue-Thur I will do my ms work but no dance cardio, just long walks with the two year old I take care of.

I got down to 128.8 on Sunday morning, down 3 pounds. However, I'm up to 132.4  overnight! Must have been the delicious curry veggie ramen I had last night or the onion rings I shared with my hubby or possibly the cupcake I had with my family for Mother's Day. I'm not worried about it because overall my calories weren't too out of control and I think it's healthy to splurge on the weekends to reset your metabolism. I hope to be be at 128 by Saturday.

I also met up with friends Saturday night for a birthday dinner. I was very proud of myself for just having a smallish serving of the Italian foods that were offered and just a bit of cake. I went home after dinner while my friends carried on at a club. I'm trying to find a balance and felt really good to be able to get up Sunday morning, exercise and put on my cute flowered dress for brunch with my mom, instead of being super hungover and tired.

My weekly diet is pretty much the same as last week.

This has been my standard post dance cardio protein meal, egg whites and turkey bacon, 1 slice sprouted grain toast and I added in sunflower sprouts today.

Dinner is some kind of protein (tuna, chicken) and lots of raw or steamed veggies. I'm loving cucumbers, celery and carrots with a little salt. I figure I need the salt with all the massive sweating I'm doing!

I haven't been feeling hungry but maybe a little weak in the afternoon because of the intensity of my workouts. I'm doing my best to take my multi vitamins as well. I want to be sure I'm getting enough calcium and B vitamins.

I also went into Lululemon for the first time and could not resist buying some new leggings! I also got a dance headband in yellow and grey to mach my shoes. Super pricy, but now I won't be embarrassed to go to yoga or the supermarket for that matter! Gotta get my monies worth! Not the best (or most flattering) pic but can you see the ties on the side at the bottom!!! so cute!

Feels great to get the week started off on the right foot! I'm sure those pesky pounds will be gone soon if I keep consistent with my plan. I'll check in again soon!

Cheers!
