Yesterday, I reached out to a few coaches to ask about changing my container amounts to support maintaining weight instead of losing. I’m a real goober. Had I read my booklet intensely like directed, I would have seen an insert with instructions on what to do to maintain. I am a much happier person today! I get to add an entire container per food group! That is A LOT. I probably won’t even be able to eat that much food, but now I have the option to add where necessary. I feel so much better. I can start my morning out with oatmeal without sacrificing carbs at lunch, or dinner! I just felt a real loss of energy and my tank was nearing empty by the time I even got home. I already feel so much better after adding a little more at dinner last night and having my steel cut oatmeal this morning.
My workout last night was even better too because I had the extra energy to put into it. Afterwards, I felt a surge of energy and cleaned the ENTIRE house. I’m talking scrubbing the floors, bathroom, and kitchen! The last few days after working out, I’ve been pretty pooped and just did the bare min to get by. Prepping for the next day and cleaning up Emerson’s toys was about all the energy I had leftover to do. I’m glad I feel better now. I do not like letting my housework get behind!
I have a wedding to attend tomorrow. I am going to TRY my hardest to do TWO workouts today. I’m hoping I can do one at lunch time since I’m working from home and then one tonight after Emerson goes to bed. Emerson has to go to the doctor’s today because he might have an ear infection. I’m not certain I’ll get to that second workout. It just depends if he goes to bed easily, or if he needs me. When he isn’t feeling well, he tends to want to cuddle when he’s sleeping. I don’t mind! A little rest time for both of us is never a bad thing!
I went grocery shopping after I took Em to daycare this morning. I was able to get enough food for the next week for $37. Crazy. I made a new meal plan to accommodate the extra containers that I get to eat too. I had to pick some things up for Emerson too. He loves veggie straws, so I bought a bag of those, his gold fish crackers, and bananas. He only eats dinner at home Monday-Friday, so I get a HUGE break on the grocery bill for him. He has plenty of breakfast, lunch, and snack options for the weekend, so we are ready to go! I’m glad I got that out of the way. 6am grocery shopping is so much more peaceful because the grocery store is empty.
I did do a compare picture yesterday from day 1 of working out to day 6, which was yesterday. I’m sure you’re all probably thinking how stupid that was, but I needed some confirmation and reassurance about this program. I can definitely see a change. I can feel a change now too, which is even better. I did receive some discouraging comments though. People were telling me they preferred my before picture and that I was losing too much weight. I haven’t shed any pounds though. I am STILL the same weight. Just getting tighter and leaner, which is NOT a bad thing. It does bug me that people are that rude. I don’t think I’d ever tell someone their before picture was better. What the hell? Some of these people are SEVERELY overweight. That’s what I don’t get. I know that I posted it and I opened the forum to negativity, but damn! Can I get any support?! Luckily, some people did come to my rescue and made me feel A LOT better.
Alright, I will catch up with everyone on Monday! I hope you all have a great weekend and you stay on track! I know I’ll be food prepping like a mother, so I don’t stray!
