I must admit the last two weeks I have been slacking on the exercising. Yes I was still riding the elliptical 3 nights a week, but for only 15-20 minutes, one night only 9 minutes.. PITIFUL! But I've gotten my motivation back FINALLY..... I'm doing my strength training in the mornings, working out with the resistance bands. Trying to flatten this belly of mine and get rid of the love handles! I'm back to riding my elliptical for 40-60minutes five nights a week!!
I've still been on track as far as my eating habits go. As you can tell from the pictures of my meals, it seems like once I get stuck on eating a certain item, I eat it all week (I've been trying to update my MEAL posts weekly).
I must be really motivated or just crazy - I registered last night for my first 5K, the Color Run in Orange Beach! My niece is going to run/WALK it with me. So hopefully I don't pass out and embarrass her too bad!
I'm still doing my exercises in the bathrooms (I know I'm crazy, but hey gotta work it in whenever you can). I was doing squats, but now I've taken my dumbbells and put under the sink to work my arms and standing crunches for the next month. So we'll see how that work. If I've learned anything in this journey, it's that consistency pays off. Even though you get discouraged and don't see results immediately, if you keep at it, eventually the results will just make an appearance one day! Afterall we didn't gain it overnight, so we can't expect to lose it overnight (That is my motto)
