Checking in on Wednesday Weigh-in

So, by the looks of this blog (and my scales) fitness hasn't been a priority this summer. And I  will admit I've been more focused on the girls and now that it's July I'm focusing on work more.  I've kept up my work blog more too, but probably since it's easier. It seems every time I post here, it's blah blah blah I'm not doing anything and not losing blah blah blah.   I keep thinking of game plans but they don't work because as soon as I get up from  here I don't do them.  (womp womp womp). 

I didn't even weigh-in this morning, that's how focused I've been! 

However, I have started back up running.  Monday was to be my 1st day back of training in prep of training for my half this fall, #fail. Mon and Tues was a bust, nothing done. But today.....ahhh today...I did the fittest for teh Bikini Body Mommy Challenge (and nearly died).  Wow what a test! I'm excited to see changes and progress but that means commitment. 
But here's my stats for the test:

  1.  SPEED SQUATS:  34
  2.   HIGH KNEES:  85 
  3. PUSH UPS:25 (modified)
  4. SQUAT JUMPS:  22
  5. TRICEP DIPS: 17
  6. BURPEES:8
  7. ALTERNATING LUNGES: 15
  8. ELBOW PLANK:20sec

Trust me, it was H.A.R.D.  I plan to do workout day #2 tonight then 3 tomorrow before the festivities for the 4th.  And even plan on taking them home to do during the camping weekend.  It seems a few days I'll be doing cardio/running so guess I'll be taking home my shoes and sports bra! Woohoo. 


No food goals...just focusing on my running plan and the BBM 90 Day challenge.

Weekend Recap

Well...nothing too exciting or positive to post here today. Ideally I planned on posting a weekend recap on Monday but it was a holiday still (Memorial Day) so technically it didn't count as a Monday, haha.
This weekend ruined my work from this past week.  HUGE disappointment although not shocked.  I last weighed-in on Friday at 197.   When I weighed-in on Monday it said 200.7. HUGE disappointment.
But I ate like crap...all weekend.  And I mean CRAP. And I mean ALL weekend.

We drove back to the farm on Saturday. I had full intentions of being mindful and trying to do my best.   FAIL.   For lunch at mom's we had homemade sub sammiches.  Not a huge problem and I thought I could handle myself with that...and I did.  But then she brought out some butter pecan cookies.  *read: HUGE downfall*  Those suckers were yummy.  I ate too many -not sure how many, at least 8 I would think.  Either way, too many.  And then there was dinner.   Id on't know where I went wrong -- we had grilled hamburgers. I had some potato salad, BLT pasta, deviled eggs and a Blue Moon.  So it wasn't horrible (although I had 5 deviled eggs) but it wasn't moderate portions either.
Then Sunday we we had breakfast at the farm before heading to Ethan's family. Mom made B&G with sausage.  I actually didn't eat that much - just wasn't what I wanted I guess.  At his family's we had rotisserie chicken, pasta, and corn on the cob.  Again - nothing horrible.
So I guess I can't blame this weekend on the food. I know I haven't exercised in a while either...last week I worked out twice and was seeing a loss. And once I stopped so did the weigh loss. Coincidence? Doubtful. I also was tracking on MFP and losing. Stop tracking ... stop losing. Coincidence? Hardly.


Verdict?  Time to get back on MFP and the treadmill/road.   Here's to a "normal" day tomorrow.  Whatcha got for me Wednesday?
