I thought it would be nice if I could give you guys an update every week. I want any readers to be able to get to know me and know that they are not alone in their temptations, struggles, and indulgences. I'd love to hear in the comments how your week went and what your weekend plans are! This is the last Friday of the year! Next Friday I'll give you all my stats (this will happen the first Friday of each month) so that I can see any progress that I made.
If you are comfortable please leave your stats next week as well. I want us to feel like we have a safe environment here!
Working Out: I've been having a lot of trouble staying motivated to do my workouts everyday. I haven't skipped one yet, but man it is HARD to get myself to do my Pilates! Running isn't too bad (I ran 7 miles on Monday!) But I know my Pilates is super important for toning my body. Honestly, I think I'm just getting tired of this month's calendar and am getting excited for the new monthly workouts. Also...winter really just makes me lazy.
Eating: I have been staying on plan pretty well, but the days surrounding Christmas included some cheat meals and snacking, though I added some workouts to balance it out. Christmas was a little extreme (we had homemade pizzas this year and cookies, fudge, peanut butter balls, and chocolate covered cherries.) Thankfully I stopped myself before there was no turning back! haha.
Other: I've been moving ALL of my books (over 3 shelves full) over to my boyfriend's house a few boxes at a time. I am SO CLOSE to being done and they look so great in our office. For Christmas I got some great gifts, but most needed for me was an actual yoga mat! No more rug burn for me!!
Non-Scale Victories: When I was Christmas shopping I also tried on some jeans to gauge my new pants size, and I am now a size 5! Less than a year and a half ago I was a 17, so this felt so great. Another victory was running a 10 minute mile without stopping and without feeling dead at the end. I've been running 5 minute miles for a while, but this week it just started being..easy, so I'm starting to challenge myself again!
