Geocaching and having a giggle. Haven't tried geocaching? Google it, It's super fun.
I took things up a notch this week. I am using a system called U-turn from u weight loss, it consists of a kinda yucky shake (they warned me it would be yucky) sort of tastes like I might imagine infant formula tastes. I am also taking their kickstart product which is a supplement that helps the body flush toxins. I have to admit my energy has been much improved. I have also been much more diligent about taking my calcium, omega, vit D, and fiber as well. Is it annoying to take these supplements? Yes in a way but it is much more annoying to have no energy, be depressed and worry that an airplane seatbelt might not fit.
I don’t think that I will be taking these things forever. I will find the right balance of vitamins, minerals, supplements that work for me health wise, financially, time management.
My eating has been right on track. I am following the U turn recipes to a T. I am following a certain schedule and calorie level for the week and then I will gradually increase my calories over the next month to six weeks until I am at a maintenance level. Hopefully my weight will stabilize and I will be able to eat a normal, healthy amount of food while being active. I really am loving these recipes. I am running the risk of turning in to a chicken again so I am balancing it out with some shrimp too.
Exercise has been off the hook!
Monday: Spinning
Tuesday:Masters swimming (didn’t really like it but I did it)
Wednesday: Working days, walked to work
Thursday: Spinning at noon (testing day,hard!) Met with Olly and set up some triathlon coaching.
Friday: Rest day, thank goodness because I worked nights last night and tonight too
Saturday: 90 min swim with the tri group (never, ever thought I could keep swimming that long)
Sunday: 45 min run with Mark, good a bit achy but not too bad once warmed up, geocaching with the girls FUN!
This chick is gonna be busy. I am going to have to make friends with 5:30 am to get my short run in during the week. I do not like getting up earlier than 6:00.
I am hoping to be at my new goal weight by the end of Feb. I lost 7 lbs the first week which I am sure was lot of water weight but at least it is off my body. I am going to weigh in tomorrow so I will let you know.
