This weekend was bad but manageable. Â My cousin wanted to go out dancing, so we ended up going to Hillcrest for a silent disco. Â I drank A LOT this weekend, lol.
Iâve never gone to a silent disco, and when my cousin was describing it, I wasnât too sure about it. Â (Even waiting outside the bar watching people with headphones on, dancing in silence, was a little odd. Â Honestly, it was the most antisocial social thing Iâve ever witnessed.) When I finally got in and had my own headset I understood the gloriousness of the concept. Â It was so good! Â I loved being able to switch through the channels of music ~ current, oldies, and EDM ~ and if I didnât feel like dancing, but wanted to talk to people, I could rest the headset on my shoulders and talk normally. Â I didnât have to lean in and yell in someoneâs ear. Â (The noise level was like a restaurant.)Â I felt like the whole experience was like dancing/singing in your car, but with a group of people. Â It was especially fun because they focused mostly on 90s music and it reminded me of middle school again, lol.
Then, Sunday morning was brunch and mimosas with friends.  Our friends also stayed from 11:30-5:30, which threw me off hard core, and I wasnât able to go run at the gym. Not the best weekend for âhealthy eatingâ and âhealthy choices,â but I feel like itâs ok to live a little and have fun! (Not like Iâm going to be doing this EVERY weekend!)
Today was Week 2 Day 8 of LIIFT4: Chest/Triceps Circuit. Â It was VERY DIFFICULT, there were more weight exercises, and the pushups afterwards were killer. I did the best that I could, but I wasnât able to complete 10 wide pushups and 10 tricep pushups each of the 3 times. Â My arms gave out and I collapsed onto the mat. Â Hopefully Iâll get stronger as I go and Iâll be able to do it with less difficulty as I get used to doing the workouts.Â
My eating today was pretty on point, and my meals for the week are as follows:
Breakfast: 21 day fix egg mason jar casserole (1 red, 1 green, 1/2 blue)
Snack 1: Overnight oats with 1/2 banana (1 yellow, 1 purple)
Lunch:Â 21 day fix crockpot caprese chicken with noodles (1 red, 2 green)
Snack 2: Apple (1 purple)
Dinner:Â Asian style crockpot chicken with green beans (1 red, 1 green, 2 TSP)
Snack 3: Protein shake (1 red)
There was even provided breakfast and lunch at work, but I wasnât tempted to eat anything that was there. Â
I also was able to take my pictures and do my measurements. Â According to my measurements, Iâve lost some inches, but I donât think itâs too noticeable in the pictures. Iâm not discouraged since there inches donât lie, Â and Iâm very happy to see that my hard work last week had paid off. Â (Even though i drank alcohol over the weekend!
Iâm hoping that I continue to have the discipline this week to workout, because it was my first day back to work after a three week break! Â
