My whole lack of determination is really baffling me. I am a strong-willed person! When I set a goal, I achieve it. No matter who I have to bulldoze over to get to my goal. Ok, I'm not THAT bad...but really, when I set my mind to something, I get it. So what is the problem? I WANT to get back into my cute size 8 jeans and all the other cute clothes that I haven't been able to wear for a year. I WANT to look like I'm NOT pregnant!!! I WANT my knees to stop hurting. But for some reason the intellectual part of my brain does not seem to be over riding the eating and working out part of my brain. I am hoping journaling all this down will help. I guess we will have to wait and see. In the mean time, I will keep praying for determination and maybe it will come up and hit me upside the head when I am least expecting it!
I did get my act a little together today, well so far, as it is only 4pm - still plenty of time to screw things up! I did work out this afternoon! Half hour of cardio. I also started to lift some weights again. I was putting off the weight lifting because I thought I would be going to SC with the DH and didn't want to start and then stop. But.....since he is now going a month later than we had originally thought, and the kids have camp August 3rd, I don't get to go now. So, I did some bicep, triceps, and shoulder lifting. I think I will do chest tomorrow. I am worried that lifting weights is going to make me weigh more and Monica is going to win the weigh in on the 19th, but I know in the long run it will be in my best interest. I had my oatmeal with protein powder, flaxseed and blueberries for breakfast. Carrots with humus for snack. Lunch was a 40-30-30 chocolate shake with a banana (the banana probably screws up the formulas, but hey, I like them). Afternoon snack was a bag of sliced apples and a small slice of cheese. Dinner will be fish tacos and vegetables. So far I've managed to stay away from the sugar, which makes it one day back on "the wagon"! Staying on "the wagon" seems to be where my determination fails me........

Maybe having some natural sugars early in the day (like blueberries and the 'naner) will help with your sugar cravings?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry too much about gaining muscle weight at this point, theoretically you have to bulk eat to gain a lot of muscle weight and if you are cutting calories at a certain level you won't. I guess at the end of the day if you look more lean but still lose less weight than Monica it's worth it... ;) Did you guys factor in measurements along with pounds?
We did do measurements, but we aren't taking that to the challenge. That's just for our own benenfit.
