On the Mend

I had surgery this week so no working out. I did receive my Conscious Box and made a video before going into hospital. View Above.

Tired or What else is new in your world?

I have been working non-stop since June. This doesn't seem unusual except for the fact I:m a school teacher who would generally have a few months to relax and detox from the school year.  This summer I've spent the last few weeks preparing for the upcoming year. So in total I've had just about 2weeks off.  I'm not complaining. I'm thankful for my job in a time when so many are unemployed.

I haven't been working out much but I have been trying to eat healthy so stay tuned. I have a few new recipes coming up and new workout I plan to try this week.

Missed Workouts

I think Ive hit a wall. I didn't want to go to the gym today. I took a long nap after class today work up and went back to sleep. I'm not sure if I was a little sleep deprived or what.  I am rested and so glad my class is done tomorrow. I will get back in the gym next week.  I did buy Jackie Warner's book "This is Why You're Fat(and how to get thin)"  Will start reading it this weekend.

weight gain...

This week I checked my weight for a weight loss challenge I am in. I gained 3lbs. 3LBS..... I was pretty upset and took it hard. I worked out daily and ate on my program.
I am not upset anymore since leaving the gym.  It happens. I could try to explain it away but I'm not I will embrace the lbs and move on.

Next week, I plan to continue on my 2 a day workouts and continue eating right.

Summer Sizzling Weight Loss Challenge

I joined a 8week workout challenge on YouTube.  Hosted by DivaSlimsDown.  It is promising to be a great way to keep me motivated. I love competition.   The stories from the other ladies are get motivation. Its really therapeutic to be in a group where you can see that people really do understand you and are in the same place or were in the place as you.  (READ THESE ARE MY PEOPLE)

I will be uploaded a new video tonight and I checked my weight since I was traveling last week I didn't make it to the gym until this morning.
