Rave it up!

This week has gone really well. I've stuck to my diet and fitness goals for the most part and I am down 1 pound (130.8) from where I was last week at this time (131.8). I'll take that as progress! I'm going to do my best not to blow it this weekend with my diet as it takes me several days to recover! I held steady at 132.4 for 3 days and finally the scale budged yesterday.

I was able to start getting up early again on the days I work to exercise, 5:45am. Tuesday and Thursday I did ms and even added in about 10 minutes of free style dancing Thursday. Wednesday I decided to spend my 45 minutes dancing to Tracy's '08 DVD. I know that cardio is what is going to help me get to my goal physique so will try and be consistent with the pattern. It's so tough to dance that early though! I'm just barely awake. I didn't get any walks in this week either as the weather was less than ideal and I was feeling a little lazy from waking up early.

Today is the start of my 4 days in a row of ms plus 60ish minutes of dancing. I put on Josh Wink Pandora and rocked out DC2 sequences 1-6. I'm really getting them down! Still struggle a bit with 5 but love 6! For the last 20 minutes I got in touch with my old raver days and really raved it up. I should have had a glow stick. haha!! So fun to have the apartment to myself and act like a goof ball.

My lunchtime meal this week was pretty tasty, quick and cheap so I thought I'd share. I took 1 whole hard boiled egg plus the white of another and made egg salad with a bit of honey mustard, paprika, cayenne, white pepper and salt plus 1 slice of chopped turkey bacon. Put it on a slice of sprouted multi grain toast and some type of fresh or roasted veggies on the side and you've got a healthy and filling meal for under 250 calories.

I realize I've been eating eggs, my high fiber/protein cereal, greek yogurt and berries and chicken/tuna with veggies pretty much every day. I have plans to mix things up next week and am excited to share some new food options!

Today I plan to keep my diet really clean as I am still holding out hope that the scale will drop again tomorrow, hopefully with the number 128 somewhere in there.

Tomorrow I will do my regular workout and then my sister will come and do a city hike with me that includes both the lyon street stairs and brunch. Hopefully the stairs will counter balance the brunch!

Sunday, my husband and I are taking my in-laws out to Waterbar for another brunch. Can you tell I really like brunch?! I love this place as it has fantastic views of the bay bridge, $20 for a whole bottle of Prosecco and OJ (I'll share!) and beautiful fish tanks. 

It will be tough to get my workout in Sunday as we will having a guest staying over and I am not going to workout in front of him. Fingers crossed he sleeps until 10am.

Tomorrow is my last day of Hip Sequence 6 and I am a little sad. I've enjoyed this sequence and am scared the next one is going to be too hard! I'll give an update on this as well. I hope to blog again tomorrow but if not, Monday for sure!

Cheers!!
