it's been wayyy too long. although i've continued to zumba like crazy....and even did a few personal training sessions....my soldier came home and it totally put my eating habits into whack. i blame it all on him!! how's that, for accountability? *teehee*
i've been starting to weight train with one of my zumba friends before zumba class. i think that has helped. jim and i are using the gym as "date night" from time to time. that helps. still....i need to be drinking way more water than i do. AND, the biggie....my sweet tooth. it rules me. i am powerless over it. problem is, i need to set myself up for success not failure. i buy the bag of twizzlers when i'm craving it, then wonder why the bag is completely gone by the end of the night.
knowing i have such poor willpower, i know i can't be bringing goodies home because i can - and WILL - eat them. not only will i eat them, i will munch munch munch 'til they're all gone. it's pathetic really...but it's reality.
here are my new goals:
- drink at least 80 oz. cold water, daily
- have at least one Shakeology, daily
- Zumba at least three times per week (easy to do!)
- do at least 20 minutes of weights, 4 days out of the week, especially before a workout
- don't buy sweets to bring home. period.
- if i want a treat during a movie, it can be a stick of Extra dessert gum
- abs before bed, like i used to
- when i have the munchies: raw almonds, apple slices, carrot stick
i could very well be pregnant right now, and i always start my pregnancies off in great shape with a ripped stomach. i've had four kids and i'm pushing 34, so that may not happen this time...but i definitely need to get to a better place than where i am now. in my adult life, i have always kept my weight around 120 lbs, without even trying. ever since i turned 30 and had my 4th baby, my weight has crept closer to 130 lbs and that's WITH effort. it sucks, but it's the new reality. i think if i can get my sweet tooth under control, my body and my health would be amazing!
here we go!! had a Shakeology for breakfast, followed by Ab Ripper X (yowza!!!) and half an hour of Zumba...with more Zumba tonight at the gym. yay!
