Thanksgiving

I'm still up a pound from last Thursday's Thanksgiving meal (157.4). Dang those rolls and pie! I didn't even take measurements this last week because I know it won't show anything good.

I need to get below 155. I haven't been that weight in 7 years! Dang babies and chemo.

Feeling better!

I am so glad I am back on track today after 3 days of eating everything in sight and not working out. I did get up at 6am like I said I would and did a LBWO and added 30 mins of cardio (not so intense but at least something!). I also have ate well all day. I feel so much better!

Christmastime is so peaceful to me. We put up our tree today and all our holiday decorations. My husband built a fire and I lit a spice candle. It smells and feels so warm and wonderful tonight. I love my little (not so little) family. I am one lucky lady.

Thanksgiving did a doozy!

Today is Saturday and I haven't worked out since Wednesday and my eating pretty much bit the big one since then too.

Tomorrow the alarm is being set to 6am so I have no excuses during the day to miss my first workout of the week. I will not miss a workout this week and I will be eating clean all week as well. No mess ups.

I won't weigh myself until Monday morning and I am scared to see what the scale says. I hope I don't want to jump off a cliff! Just kidding, I won't.

Ambition

So I was wondering this morning what creates ambition. Some days I feel like I can take on the world and I am so focused on my goal that nothing will stop me. Then other days I want to go back to eating what I want and sleep in and miss the gym. I don't know why my mind changes back and forth like that.

I know I want to look better and feel healthier but sometimes laziness seems like a better option. I know logically it isn't! I have done well with my workouts but food, oh food seems to control me and gets in the way of my goals. How stupid that is! I guess it is an addiction like any other. I have to work my way back to eating completely clean.

Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I was eating clean and working out and living the BFL way. I was healthy and yet I still got cancer and was the sickest of my life. Why? I wonder if that is my mental block. I know I was doing all I should have been doing and I still faced death. I know that exercise and eating right are still the correct choice. I just have to CHOOSE what will ultimately make me happy. Being healthy and fit will make me happier than that cookie.

Week 5.....

The first photo of each shot were of Oct. 17th and second of each shot were of Nov. 20th. You can't see a huge difference but there is a little. I have been working VERY hard in the gym and yet there is little noticable change with the photos. I need to tighten up on eating clean.

I noticed this morning....

I don't have AS MANY dimples in my bum.

Just Saying.

Feeling good again!

I have eaten clean since Sunday and feel really great again. Good UBWO on Sunday, fabulous run yesterday and my legs were burning this morning doing LBWO.

I feel lighter than last week so that is a good sign. I've been peeing a ton too so the water must be flushing out some of that junk I ate. I will take photos on Saturday to see if I can see a difference. I can definately feel a difference in my midsection and front quads.
