OPERATION GET FIT: October-November
OPERATION GET FIT BACK ON THE FIT TRAIN
yes...cause that's what this journey has been..
an account of how many times I can get back on the fit train lol
at least I'm trying right?
10/19 WED- 20 min quick cardio workout in the morning
Oh look i took a hash bagash post workout pic! It's like I'm really trying or something hahahhahahaha
its too early in the morning for pics
10/27 THS- day 4 of our keto/paleo diet
Yes you read that right. We are dieting. Aljay and I. and Omi and Uati. Uati inspired us (he lost choke weight in two weeks and is feeling great). So Omi, Aljay, and I have joined in.
So we started on Monday. Cut out carbs, fruit (except small portions of berries), no nuts, no wheat/bread/oatmeal....so basically lots of veggies and decent portions of protein. oh and NO SUGAR.
Monday sucked. Headache and moody.
Tuesday was better.
Wednesday was good but I really wanted chocolate or like a cookie.
and now it's Thursday.
I'm feeling good and I feel like my body is really grateful that I'm eating more veggies.
I should probably weigh myself.
Haven't added in any exercise. I probably should. But yeah...that's where we're at.
We're planning on doing this for two weeks and slllooowwwllyyy (in very tiny amounts) adding in fruit, grains, and nuts. At least I think that's the plan. I'm following Aljay's lead. He's in this too so it's much easier to plan meals and stay on track. Thank goodness!
10/28 FRI- day 5 of the diet,
I really want to reward myself and eat some blueberries, but Aljay said no. It helps that he tells me no, but I'm still kind of sad/mad lol.
10/31 MON- day 8 of the diet, strength training
It's Halloween. We have a potluck at work. I'm taking a veggie platter. How exciting lol. can you taste the sarcasm? I'll be fine though. Tons of water, veggies, and soup and I'll be ok. Plus I did a work out this morning. Started the day off right....and I will continue to keep it right.
11/1 TUES- Tucanos!!
How about our department went out to Tucanos (Brazillian buffet = delicious meats and bomb lemonades) for lunch. Oka I was so proud of myself. I stuck to meat and veggies and water. I got a dessert to go and brought it home for the kids. Look at me being all diligent.
11/06 SAT- Mom's Retirement party
It's cheat day. A well deserved cheat day!!!! But I didn't go crazy overboard thank goodness. Couldn't say no to the faiai salmon and faalifu kalo...and the apple pie, pumpkin pie, and watermelon!!!! Sooooo yummmm
11/09 WED- 15 min morning HIIT
Has been harder starting and sticking to the diet but we're back on since Monday. Low carbs. No sugar. and how bout Donald Trump is president. Crazy ah this election.
11/10 THURS- 30 mins with the Fitness Marshall lol
11/12 SAT- BBG leg workout 1st circuit-2X
11/19 SAT- Reflecting
an entire week since my last workout lol...it has been a struggle with a hectic work week, Aljay beginning our home renovation projects, and not making it to the grocery store to stock up on the healthy stuff. I've completely ditched the diet this week. But I still have a week and a half of November left to keep working towards change. 4
11/30
It is the last day of November. I'm not going to lie. I'm feeling pretty down on myself. It's almost January. I started on this "fitness journey" in February!!! Honestly, nothing has really changed. I lose weight, I find weight. I am on point, then I fall wayyyy off track. Ugh. It's disappointing to look back and see barely any change...but more irrits because it's no one else's fault but my own. Way to let yourself down Sandra lol
So sucks.
I don't think I've wanted it bad enough. I need to though. Cause I am self conscious about my body. I do think twice when someone takes a picture of me.(Which is why i don't even care to post an "after" pic since it looks just the same as the "before" pic). I take forever to get dressed because I won't leave until I've found something I feel confident in wearing. It's irritz forreals.
I make a conscious effort to speak positive affirmations to myself, but most days I'm just like .....uuuggghh sooo irritttsssss the fat!!!!
But I'm going to be 30 next year, which I am not dreading at all. I'm excited for my 30s!! And I want to go into my 30s feeling good! Having a strong body and energy!!!!
One of my college friends shared a post about her success and how she's is more happy and has energy because she decided to be physically active. All this while holding down a full time job, being a Mom and wife, and her husband in school and starting a new job. It made me want to just shut my mouth of excuses and just GET TO WORK!!!
So here we are again.....back to square one. Restarting a never ending race.
I don't care. I'm going to keep trying. And I'll keep trying no matter how many times I fall.
