Day 13

Yesterday was a great day!
I went to spin and barre! (I wont be going back to barre though cause all the squatting hurt my back to much) Since I did that bubble soccer on Sunday my legs are like jelly now! Very proud of myself for doing two classes though.
Also yesterday I got 11 points for the challenge I am doing,
1 for eating 5 servings of veggies
2 for making my lunch and dinner
4 for drinking 4 liters of water
4 points for doing 2 hours of workout
0 because I had breakfast
0 because I talked to someone about non work related stuff for over 5 mins
0 because I had 3 solid meals
0 because I slept for over 5 hours
(these last 4 things are all things you should be doing so you get a minus point for not doing them)
0 because I didn't eat after 9 pm (that was a custom one I switched with pop since I am not drinking pop anyways) (if I did -1 point)
0 because I didn't have any fast food (if I did -1 point for each part of the meal ie fries, burger)
0 because I didn't have any sweets or treats ( If I did -1 point for each thing eaten)
0 because I didn't have over two alcoholic drinks

Today I am just really tired but its been a good day in the way of eating healthy, I did some workout during lunch and the group that I work with on Tuesdays nights is going to the track for our activity tonight  Today I will only get 8 points cause I will only drink 3 liters of water and be doing an hour of workout all together

Days 9, 10, 11, 12

I am not used to writing on a blog everyday, hopefully I can get better.

The last few days have been great, and in the past 11 days I have lost 8 pounds! (What!!!!!)

I left my essential oil pills where I was house sitting so I just got them back today so I couldn't take them over the weekend but took one as soon as I got them.

I went to spin on the 10th and went to the track for an hour and went to bubble ball soccer on the 11th (bubble ball is this awesome thing where you are in this big blow up ball and you can do flips and stuff, we have a drop in game of soccer in them in Yellowknife and definitely going to have to go again, when you fall and have to get your self back up its so hard, my legs are so sore today :) ).

Today also marks the first day of a 21 day challenge I am doing that a friend is putting on. She makes this big spreed sheet and you get points for doing stuff like going to the gym or get points taken away if you drink pop or eat sweets.

I have also been doing my at home workouts but changing it up a bit, I do a verity of stuff from my original plan and the other challenge that I posted and also have been doing some arm work with weights because I do no weight training which is bad.

I also have been drinking water with lemon in it for the most part. I find my mouth gets mucus in it more when I have lemon water so I have regular water when I am working out or else I feel like I can't breath sometimes.

I am back at home now for a week and a half so before my next house sitting job so I eat pretty healthy at home because my mom makes sure the dinner is healthy and I have been making sure to have a good lunch. Still having an egg and toast for breakfast but I need to add back in my smoothie to take to work. It means I have to get up a few minutes earlier and I just love my sleep so much that it is hard.

I hope everyone is doing well with their new year resolutions.

Day 8

Today has been a good day, had breakfast, had a salad for lunch, going to go home and do my workout but skip the gym because I have to get all my stuff together because the person I have been house sitting for gets home tomorrow. I am going to make a wrap for dinner. I wish I had drank more water during the day than I did but I will try and make up for some of it this evening.

Day 5,6 and 7

So I have been really busy the last few days so here is an update.
With being so busy I haven't stuck to my menu at all other than breakfast. But I have been eating as healthy as I can. I have had a few slips but I am not beating myself up over that.
I realized that the last thing I want to do when I get home from a 12 hour work day on Tuesday is work out.... So we will see how next Tuesday goes but I may just call that a day off from working out. (Next Tuesday my group I work with on Tuesday nights is going to the track anyways so there is my workout).

I did go to spin on Day 5 and did my at home workout and I am going to do my at home workout on my lunch today, (I guess i could normally do my at home workouts Tuesdays at lunch but I had to run some earns yesterday) and I am going to spin tonight.

I have been drinking tons of water!! like so much. I normally add in real lemon or when I am at work the pre squeezed stuff which probably isn't as good for you but is easier than bringing lemons to work.

As for my New Years resolution, this is day 7 with out pop :D

Day 4

I drank tons of water today! Didn't have breakfast because I laid in bed till noon so I had and egg, toast, and a bunch of roasted veggies for lunch. I was doing a ton of running around so had a veggie sub with no cheese from subway. 

I did my workout at home and went to the gym where I did half an hour on the stair master and 20 mins on the bike. 

I now have a goal, to wear a really cute dress that is a bit to small on my Birthday when I am in Vancouver :) it is 89 days away, wouldn't it be great if the dress was to big? 

Changed my workout a bit

So now along with doing what I posted earlier I am also adding these in, they are so quick and simple. And love it! It gives you a number of glasses of water to drink just to make sure you are drinking water but I am already drinking tons of water so it's all good. Off the the gym soon, will give a day 4 update latter tonight 

Day 3

Today was a bit of a hard day, I didn't have breakfast cauae I didn't get up till 11 due to the fact I couldn't get to sleep till 5am. Because I didn't have much sleep I had no intention of going to spin but I did do my at home workout. 

I had quinoa with veggies for lunch and some popcorn at the movie I went and saw this afternoon then had a sandwich with a bit of mayo, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, mushrooms, and lettuce in it for dinner and had 3  peanut balls covered in dark chocolate for desert. 

I also made a detox drink, 

jillian michaels detox drink: 

60 oz of water

1 Tbsp cranberry juice (only PURE cranberry juice not the juice cocktail!)

1 organic dandelion root teabag

2 Tbsp lemon juice

There are so many variations of this and I couldn't find real cranberry juice so used diet stuff, and couldn't find dandelion root tea so I added in David's tea detox tea and squeezed in a whole lemon. (Love living in yellowknife, can never get anything special). 

It will be interesting to see if it works. I will look for cranberry juice and dandelion tea at the crazy expensive whole food store next pay cheque. 

So I am drinking that right now and using an it works body wrap
