This weekend was bad but manageable. Ā My cousin wanted to go out dancing, so we ended up going to Hillcrest for a silent disco. Ā I drank A LOT this weekend, lol.
Iāve never gone to a silent disco, and when my cousin was describing it, I wasnāt too sure about it. Ā (Even waiting outside the bar watching people with headphones on, dancing in silence, was a little odd. Ā Honestly, it was the most antisocial social thing Iāve ever witnessed.) When I finally got in and had my own headset I understood the gloriousness of the concept. Ā It was so good! Ā I loved being able to switch through the channels of music ~ current, oldies, and EDM ~ and if I didnāt feel like dancing, but wanted to talk to people, I could rest the headset on my shoulders and talk normally. Ā I didnāt have to lean in and yell in someoneās ear. Ā (The noise level was like a restaurant.)Ā I felt like the whole experience was like dancing/singing in your car, but with a group of people. Ā 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. Ā Our friends also stayed from 11:30-5:30, which threw me off hard core, and I wasnāt able to go run at the gym. Not the best weekend forĀ āhealthy eatingā andĀ āhealthy choices,ā but I feel like itās ok to live a little and have fun! (Not like Iām going to be doing this EVERY weekend!)
Today was Week 2 Day 8 of LIIFT4: Chest/Triceps Circuit. Ā It was VERY DIFFICULT, there were more weight exercises, and the pushups afterwards were killer. I did the best that I could, but I wasnāt able to complete 10 wide pushups and 10 tricep pushups each of the 3 times. Ā My arms gave out and I collapsed onto the mat. Ā Hopefully Iāll get stronger as I go and Iāll be able to do it with less difficulty as I get used to doing the workouts.Ā
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:Ā 21 day fix crockpot caprese chicken with noodles (1 red, 2 green)
Snack 2: Apple (1 purple)
Dinner:Ā 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 wasnāt tempted to eat anything that was there. Ā
I also was able to take my pictures and do my measurements. Ā According to my measurements, Iāve lost some inches, but I donāt think itās too noticeable in the pictures. Iām not discouraged since there inches donāt lie, Ā and Iām very happy to see that my hard work last week had paid off. Ā (Even though i drank alcohol over the weekend!
Iām 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! Ā
