Hello!

Well I didn't even post a workout blog for last week if that tells you how productive I was..haha.

My goals are pretty simple this week and the ingredients for a good week.

1. 5 morning workouts
-Monday did PC1
-Tuesday did TF 30
-Wednesday- did PC2
-Thursday-took Bear on walk
-Friday- did PC3

2. Healthy lunches
Mon- ate in Cafeteria
Tues- ate in Cafeteria
Wed- had a chicken quesadilla..picked off some of the bread and limited my chips!
Thurs- ate in cafeteria
Fri-

3. 10pm bedtime
Sunday-10:30
Monday- 10:30..had to watch the Bachelorette
Tueday- 10:45- had to unwind after my run but that is still better than I was doing!
Wednesday- went to bed at 10 but couldn't sleep so watched a movie until 11
Thusday- went to bed around 10 but couldn't sleep. Maybe because I took a nap instead of doing turbofire..woops :)

4. Water!!
I drank my 2 bottles of water everyday this week!

5. Follow up on thyroid check

That one might need a little explaining. When I got on the scale and had gained yet another 5 pounds I was justretty depressed last week. I was talking to my mom who is a nurse and she found my 40 pound gain in 2 years really odd. I have been exercising the whole time and I don't eat bad. So she told me to call te doctor and have both my thyroid and sugar checked.
We both feel something isn't right about tis whole thing. I see people on here all the time that eat wee and exercise and lose weight. So we will see what happens.

I'm also giving up the scale again. I want to lose fat and gain muscle which doesn't always lead to a loss on the scale. Scales are pretty much the devil. They make you wreck e progress you were making bc of what they say.

Ok I had better go to bed..push circuit 1 on the morning agenda!

*edit 6/20*
I'm having an awesome week! I've basically been doing 2 workouts a day. Cardio at night when I strength train in the morning and last night I went on a run despite my heel. It held up pretty well and I went 2.44 miles. I'm almost to my 100 mile goal!

Somewhere on spark I saw a post that said "I'm not on a weight loss mission, I'm on a fat loss mission" and that really helped me. It doesn't matter what the scale says. I am making progress when I workout and eat healthy. I am making progress when I drink my water and go to bed earlier (which I'm loving by the way). And I'm actually seeing quite a few changes in my body already. Perhaps I just needed to "up" my workouts.

Hopefully now that I have some momentum I can carry that until July. I might still get my thyroid checked. I clld the doctor & left a voicemail. The nurse then left me a voicemail and everytime I try to call her back it's busy! So I might try a couple more times but it's really kind of annoying.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. My friend Laura (wedding I'm in 9/22) is having her bridal shower this weekend! Should be really fun. I'm either going to rest or go to centergy tonight if I get supper done in time.

Have a great Wednesday!

    I gave up on my scale for the month of June, but haven't done 100% with it because just this morning I stepped on it. Bad bad thing to do. I can work my butt off and get nowhere on that thing, so yep, best to not even look at it. Good luck with the thyroid test!

    Good idea to have your thyroid checked. It will make a big difference if it is part of the problem. Good luck with your goals and enjoy CLX! emoticon
