Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years. Well, not
years, but I felt super gangster for knowing those lyrics. So yeah, you
can call it a comeback if you want. Let's be honest, I fell off the weight loss give-a-shit wagon a little while back. Good news is I'm back on the wagon and I'm ready to make this plateau my bitch!
I
was bitching to a friend recently and she reminded me that what's
worked in the past isn't necessarily going to work now. So I'm making
some changes! Not long ago I posted a picture of my lunch and was
challenged by an old friend to show her a lunch without wrappers. So
yesterday I shopped, I cooked, I chopped and I packed. It's not exactly
clean eating, but it's much cleaner than it has been. My dinners are generally healthy, but they vary so I won't list them, but below is my meal plan for the week:
Also,
I'm told my vagina is gonna hate me for this, and I most likely won't
be walking right for a few days, but I'm gonna try a spin class. Up
until now, I've relied on the treadmill and elliptical for my cardio
fix, but it doesn't seem to be murdering fat the way I'd like it to.
Maybe my body's getting used to it, maybe I don't try hard enough,
either way it's time to step it up. So the front desk
lady confirmed the time for me and this Friday at 6am I will be spinning my ass off. She
also told me where the room was. She also told me the class never
fills up. Basically I'm fucked and there's no way I can make an excuse
for it. I'll report back…although I have been told that spin class is
the closest a healthy individual can get to having a heart attack. So
I'll report back IF I survive.
Had a nice little
weekend! Did some cooking, drinking, weddinging, dancing (my mom is
disappointed that the bro and I aren't better dancers), recovering and
some meal planning. Can't complain! Starting the week off feeling
prepared is a pretty damn good feeling!

Are you in a workout/weight loss slump? How do you plan on getting out?
Happy Monday!
Hey Tara! I have been in work out slump lately......I took it easy on myself when I started a new job over a month ago, and I never have recovered! I'm trying, trying, trying to get myself back in the 5am club. Some days I am successful :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your dress from the wedding! Too cute! Good luck with spin class. I tried it once. Yes, once :) But good for you for signing up, no turning back now!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in a slump but I'm pulling myself out of it this week! For real this time! of course I inhaled carbs yesterday like they were going out of style, since it will be a while before I eat them again (hopefully, if ever!!) and I feel like junk today. Onward and upward, I suppose!
The first time I did spin I wanted to never go back. I was dragged back by friends and now I love it. It definitely does hurt down there the first time but if you keep going it won't as much. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been in a workout slump. My brother got married the last weekend of June and from that point up until now it's been a little ehhhh... Today though I talked myself into going to the gym. I had knee surgery May 14th and that's been my excuse... I told myself "BITCH, it's JULY! GO TO THE GYM!". It worked.
ReplyDeleteI started a new job in April. After training was complete, my schedule changed to 10:30-7. I had this grandiose plan to get up at 5am, work out every day, walk the dog for an hour, eat a big clean breakfast, do a daily chore and then go to work. Then I planned to not make dinner when I came home so that I wouldnt be eating at 8pm. In reality, there's no reason that I cant do this. Its just HARD to go to bed at 930 when I know I dont really have to get up and of course, hard to get up when ive stayed up until midnight. I have no excuses and Ive really just been lazy. My eating isnt too horrendous during the day but then I get home and shove my pie hole with garbage.
ReplyDeleteIve really been wanting to do the 30 day shred and have planned to run a 10k October. Its hard to workout in an upper floor apt without feeling like Im gonna bring the building down or startle my 70 year old downstairs neighbor. Then the dog wants to join in and trips me while I'm going jumping Jack's and the cats climb on me while I'm planking.
The good news is my husband and I bought a home and we move in a week. Ill have some space to work out and a new neighborhood to run in.
Ill be glad to change it up and im going to use this week to warm up to running again. We also have a family wedding on labor day weekend. I want to look good and feel good in dress. As excited as I was about later work day, with a new shift bid in Sept, id be really really happy to change to 9 to 530. I think I can keep myself more accountable more normal hours.
