Monday 12/2. Day 1 of Clean and Lean Challenge

Restarting this journal again bc I joined this Clean and Lean challenge that goes on for 21 days.

I'm hoping it'll help me back jump start on to clean eating. I've been pretty bad lately. I've been somewhat mindful of what I eat but I've been indulging and eating whatever and as much as I want. It's only day 1, but even for today it's helped me to control my eating.

M4:

Dannon Greek yogurt with chopped walnuts, milled flaxseed, chia seeds.

1 kiwi 

Handful of raw pecans.

I'm also trying to drink more water. Today I think I had about 9 cups.

If I'm supposed to drink half my body  weight in oz plus 1 cup for every hr of exercise, I'll need to be drinking. 

I'm not very good at meal planning so I'm gonna try and do that now.

1 hour 10 minutes (she went overtime today) - Boot Camp Ultimate Conditioning
Saturday bootcamp class always kill me! the instructor is the toughest and really pushes you. I need to keep going so I can keep up better haha. So many reps of everything! And I'm sure my abs are gonna feel it tomorrow. My inner thighs are def feeling it; they were already sore from yesterday!

So at work, my co-workers decided to do a weight loss challenge. $100 buy in. 3rd place gets $100, 2nd place gets $200 and winner takes the rest so  $1000+. Definitely gives me more incentive and motivation!
Just gotta stick with it. The weigh in will bet May 31st!

For this sake, I decided I need to ban certain foods until then. Later, I can have moderation, but when I need to be strict I have to completely ban them.

BANNED:
Anything made with flour. No more snacking on crackers at work! ><
White rice

I may possibly decide to go full on paleo in May..

My little snack pack for today heh

Motivated... Again

So I've been doing really well with my workouts lately and have been able to get good workouts in 6 days a week.

To recap a little, this is what my workouts have been typically:

Monday
9:15-10:00 club power - body conditioning/sculpting
10:00-11:00 hip hop cardio

Tuesday:
12:00-12:45 HIIT

Wednesday:
10:15-11:00 Step - I bumped my risers to 2 today!

Thursday:
12:00-12:45 Tabata

Friday:
9:15-10:15 Club Power
10:15-11:15 cardio dance

Saturday:
9:00-10:00 Hip hop cardio
10:00-11:00 Boot Camp - ultimate conditioning

When I'm off I usually take classes in the evening too. Either in addition to the am classes or if it's on Mon or Wed, in place of since I might not wake up in time hah.

The 9:00am and even the 10:00am classes are pretty tough for me to make it bc I sleep late but I've been good at disciplining myself to wake up.

Now I'm really trying to discipline myself on my eating.. It's so hard for me. But I've had a surge of motivation again to be strict. I'm always trying to "watch what I eat" but I end up giving in to things I shouldn't be eating. One particular fitspo is "A" who looks sooo good right now since she's been strict on her diet and working out hard. I wanna look good too!

I do notice that I'm looking more toned again which I'm happy about. I just need to work on my eating to lose this fat! Sucks that diet is like 80% >_<

Gotta get serious again so need to write down my food and exercise again!

Looking at my calendar, from September to now, I've been fluctuating from  152 lbs to as high as 159.6lbs (on 11/26.. go figure).
Just so I can see where my weight has been standing... Some recent weigh-ins that I logged into my wall calendar:
09/24/12 = 153.0
10/02/12 = 152.6
10/15/12 = 153.8
11/05/12 = 155.6
11/13/12 = 155.0
11/20/12 = 155.4
12/15/12 = 158.0
12/17/12 = 157.8
12/18/12 = 157.4
12/29/12 = 156.8
12/31/12 = 154.8
01/01/13 = 157.0
01/03/13 = 157.0
01/14/13 = 155.4

Ugh, so looks like my body seems to love being in the 150's -__-
Must get out of it!
