Gettin Thru the Weekend

I was definitely nervous to approach the weekend.  Two days where I would excuse myself from counting calories, relax with a few cocktails, and often times enjoy a nice Winco pizza while watching football....NOT THIS WEEKEND!

Workout-
Saturday was a scheduled rest day so that totally sucked! It's funny because in my regular weekly routine I would always take at least one rest day and it was no big deal....I think now that I am being told to take 'mandatory' rest days it is totally messing with me.  Another example of how this is a total mental challenge along with a physical one.  I was actually supposed to take Sat and Sun off but come on....what do you expect. haha.  I picked my Shoulder and Abs workout for today and I am super excited to say that I pushed my own limits (yes I did this without Karrin or Thiriza) and I increased an exercise by 5lbs.  I am sure that my form suffered and my face looked like I was being physically tortured...but I was sure proud at the conclusion of each set.  I am really enjoying the weight training that Phase 1 focuses on..I am just hoping that Week 2 will bring me with a little weight loss! FINGERS CROSSED! I dont want to end this thing lookin like China!!!

Meals-
I have been able to stay on track with my meal plan.  The oatmeal and eggwhites for breakfast are definitely getting easier and I am netting more calories each day which is a pretty big improvement for me.  I did have a moment of weakness the other night and was craving something sweet so I snuck a finger full of Nutella...mmmmm....hit the spot.  Now I will spend the rest of my Sunday preparing for Week 2.  I am adding some homemade protein bars this week and I am sure they will be amazing.

I am very proud and motivated after completing week 1 because it felt like it totally flew by.  I know that is because of this blog....This is a really cool experience for me and a total bonus knowing that some of my friends are interested enough in me to take a few minutes and read about whats going on in my life.  Thank you so much and I am ready to dominate Week 2!!!
