This weekend was bad but manageable. My cousin wanted to go out dancing, so we ended up going to Hillcrest for a silent disco. I drank A LOT this weekend, lol.
I’ve never gone to a silent disco, and when my cousin was describing it, I wasn’t too sure about it. (Even waiting outside the bar watching people with headphones on, dancing in silence, was a little odd. Honestly, it was the most antisocial social thing I’ve ever witnessed.) When I finally got in and had my own headset I understood the gloriousness of the concept. It was so good! I loved being able to switch through the channels of music ~ current, oldies, and EDM ~ and if I didn’t feel like dancing, but wanted to talk to people, I could rest the headset on my shoulders and talk normally. I didn’t have to lean in and yell in someone’s ear. (The noise level was like a restaurant.) I felt like the whole experience was like dancing/singing in your car, but with a group of people. 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 wasn’t able to go run at the gym. Not the best weekend for “healthy eating” and “healthy choices,” but I feel like it’s ok to live a little and have fun! (Not like I’m going to be doing this EVERY weekend!)
Today was Week 2 Day 8 of LIIFT4: Chest/Triceps Circuit. It was VERY DIFFICULT, there were more weight exercises, and the pushups afterwards were killer. I did the best that I could, but I wasn’t able to complete 10 wide pushups and 10 tricep pushups each of the 3 times. My arms gave out and I collapsed onto the mat. Hopefully I’ll get stronger as I go and I’ll be able to do it with less difficulty as I get used to doing the workouts.
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: 21 day fix crockpot caprese chicken with noodles (1 red, 2 green)
Snack 2: Apple (1 purple)
Dinner: 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 wasn’t tempted to eat anything that was there.
I also was able to take my pictures and do my measurements. According to my measurements, I’ve lost some inches, but I don’t think it’s too noticeable in the pictures. I’m not discouraged since there inches don’t lie, and I’m very happy to see that my hard work last week had paid off. (Even though i drank alcohol over the weekend!
I’m 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!
