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:

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% >_<

Anyhow, today looks like this:
