I am officially three weeks in (well technically yesterday was the start of my fourth week). And I am doing terribly. Yesterday I did not work out. I know these are excuses, but I had a ton to do around the house, a surprise meeting before work (which actually did take an extra hour chunk out of my time) and then was so tired and lazy after work.

My nutrition was not great either (and don’t get too excited, it was terrible today as well). For breakfast I had oatmeal with a teaspoon of chia seeds, a teaspoon of brown sugar (my husband’s request) and a splash of organic milk. For a snack I had a peppermint green tea. For lunch I had a sushi roll. It was oh so good. But oh so bad for me. For dinner I had spinach, sundried tomato and goat cheese raviolis made with butter and grated cheese. Yep. Not one fruit or vegetable (I don’t count the raviolis as a vegetable).

Today was better in the fitness department. I got in a really good 1.25 mile run with a quarter mile walk. I shaved about a minute off the same run from last week and it felt so good while I was running. I am not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I have asthma and I have been trying to slowly train my lungs (and diaphragm) into running without an inhaler. So far so good, but I always keep it on me just in case.

After my run I stretched for a bit and did this workout that I found on Instagram:

I used 5lb weights for the bicep curls and then I added an extra 20 second plank and three sets of 10 tricep curls (is that what they are called?) with an 8lb weight.

For breakfast I had a bowl of cereal. For snacks I had a greek yogurt and some thin pretzels dipped in hummus. For lunch I had an organic bean and cheese burrito and half of an oatmeal bar (disclaimer: this oatmeal bar was so delicious I only ate half of it because I felt like I was eating a cookie and I am trying hard to stick to my no sweets rule again this week). For dinner I had some Trader Joe’s Indian food. Palak Paneer, Lamb Vindaloo, rice and a piece of naan. And again, I do not count the Palak Paneer as a vegetable.

So there ya go. I skipped another workout and ate like a beast. I really need to get myself back in gear and remember why I am doing this before I really let myself go.
