Off the wagon.....
It has been a tough first quarter of the year for me! The weather has been very cold and I just have not been able to muster the strength to get my workouts going... However, I signed back up for boot camp this month... I have not gone as often as I like OR as often as needed, but I am going and that is what matters!
Every time I feel like I have Weight Watchers all 'figured out' and my eating habits under control I cancel my membership and vow to keep it up on my own.. When am I ever going to learn?? UGH! Signed back up last month, but just now really getting going.
We leave for the beach in 12 weeks. I WILL be down back at my lowest point from the fall of 2012 - guaranteed!!!
Wish me luck!!

Week 8
Well, I am closing in on the end of my 24 day challenge... It will be done on Wednesday... I am down (as of this morning) 12.8 lbs! So exciting!! I am very proud of myself.. Halloween, and the 5 events we participated in, came and went and I was able (and might i add not really tempted to eat) to stay away from all of the sweets!
What really tested my strength was on Wednesday afternoon when I found out that my grandfather passed away. He was bigger than life. The past few years my extended family has fractured, but my family came together and celebrated his life. My mom asked me to do one of the readings at mass. I was not sure how it was going to go, but in the end I am so glad i did it.... I will miss him greatly but he lived a long, full life and I am so happy that not only I had so much time with him but that my mom had her dad in her life for 67 years. I was not so lucky with my dad, he passed away when I was only 26.
We hit the midpoint of our Biggest Loser challenge... I have lost 5.97%. Sadly, I came in second place. One of my co-workers lost 6.99%. I am super proud of myself, I am down 11.1 in the challenge so I am looking to lose another 20. I can do this, I just have to keep going.....
Until next week, XOXO

Week 7
I am really digging this Advocare 24 day challenge! I am down another 3.5 lbs this week - woohoo.. This Max Phase that I am currently in seems to be working for me.. The only thing I don't really like is the number of pills that I have to take, however the results are worth it - seriously worth it!
I have not been as into bootcamp as I need to be.. There are a few reasons.. First is that I have had this stupid sore throat and cough for the past 2 weeks - grrrr... Second is that my grandfather is not doing well... like not going to live much longer.... I was at the hospital until almost 11 and getting up at 5 AM didn't sound like the best idea, especially b/c I was up until after 1:00 AM.
That is OK, this is a new week. I have boot camp and soccer tomorrow, Tuesday is my day off; Wednesday is boot camp in the morning and then I have a mavericks game that night (1st regular season game of 2013-2014 season), day off Thursday; Friday bootcamp; Saturday 5K.
Oh yeah. almost forgot, we did a 5K yesterday and we ran the whole thing in 38:25... Not the best time, but that was the first of at least 6 we are doing through the end of the year.....
Have a great week! XOXO

Week 6 Update
I am LOVING the Advocare 24 day challenge!!I had gained a couple of the pounds I had lost back, and from last Saturday morning through this morning I have lost 7.2 pounds!! That's right, 7.2! I am stoked.. The most important thing for me is that I have eaten very well this week! It has not been the easiest (especially passing up cake and ice cream at work Wednesday) but it has been worth it.. I don't even really feel the desire to cheat on my clean eating..
I am a bit nervous for after the challenge.. I know a few people that have done this and after the challenge have gained back what they lost. Now, I am not sure if they continued to eat clean, but I went ahead and emailed my boot camp leader to ask her suggestions after the challenge.. Now, I am only on day 7 (of 24), but I want to be prepared with whatever it is I need to get this sorted out... I am so focused and ready to kick this transformations butt! HA!
I twisted my ankle last Monday night at my soccer game.. It was really sore all week, I only worked out Monday (twice) and Friday morning... I took this weekend off b/c next week is cardio week at camp.. My goal is to attend camp Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings this week. I have soccer Monday night and then a 5K on Saturday with my sister and her family.
So I am super excited to see how this week's weight loss with getting a full week of workouts in - so fun! Also, I hit the second phase of my challenge Thursday!
What are your plans this week??? XOXO
