3/4=75% (ate too much/grazed all day even though I didn’t have any “bad” food)
Exercise: Abs…Did a 30 minute pilates ab Youtube video
Food: No junk, did not IF at all…pretty much felt like I was eating and grazing all day long.
Sleep: 10:00-6:00…8 hours woo hoo!
Water: 12 cups
3/4=75% Did everything well today except food
Exercise: Another booty/leg focused day! My goal is to train legs 3-4xs/week since that is my weak spot right now.
Food: IF’ed 9:30a to 6:30p, grazed, and had 3 M&M’s. To be honest I’m feeling a little bummed. I have such intense sweet cravings and I am beginning to think my candida is coming back. I have three little white spots on my back (they call it Haole rot). I used to have it all over my back and in my system and it took a couple months to clear up with a super strict diet and herbs and really keeping the good habits through the years. I think the slack approach with food I’ve had in the past 6 months is catching up with me.
Sleep:10:00-6:30…7 hours
Water: 12 cups and bonus points for drinking lemon water
2/4 (50%): Ate too much food and drank too little water
Exercise: Did a 10 minute Pilates ab routine and went surfing for about 45 minutes
Food: Today was horrible and random with food…I was out of almost everything and had nothing prepped so that’s usually what happens. I was grazing pretty much what felt like the entire day and eating very unplanned stuff, didn’t IF (ate late), but one victory was that I didn’t eat any crap/refined sugars. And while I was checking out of Walmart the Kitkats were calling my name but was able to ignore them!
Sleep: Went to bed late (11p-6:30a) but got 7 hours in!
Water: This is where things went south REAL quick! I drank 8 (64 oz) cups but didn’t start drinking my water till later in the day. I notice a HUGE difference when I don’t start getting my water in early—I tend to eat a lot more because I still feel “hungry” but it’s actually that my body is thirsty! When I eat more I tend not to finish drinking my water for the day because I feel too full for it. Kind of a bad downwards spiral.
This post is late because the last few days have been a litte busy…
Exercise: Did workout mainly focusing on legs/glutes with a sprinkle of arms. I was sweating so much it shocked my husband when he was heading out the door to work.
Food:10-7. Grazed a little and IF’ed from 10-7 and didn’t have any refined sugars or junk!
Sleep: Got 8 hours of sleep 🙂
Water: 96 oz
4/4 (Exercise, Food, Sleep, Water)=100%
Yesterday went really well! I’m still organizing myself to be more exact with my macros but overall it was a success! No junk food or added sugars!
This left me dripping with sweat and breathing hard. I almost didn’t exercise because it was a busy day but thankfully this blog already motivated me–How can you not workout on the first day of your challenge?! At 8pm as tired as I was I went outside and busted this out.
2. Food/Macros: I didn’t eat any junk/refined sugar woohoo! Intermittent fasting went well (11-7 was my window). I didn’t eat a whole pound of raw veggies (probably about half with my papaya salad—yes I realize papaya in not technically a veggie but when they are green I count them) but I should be more organized tomorrow and have it prepped. Also my beloved Blendtec blender is getting fixed so I am not able to make smoothies yet. Didn’t get to put all of this in My Fitness Pal (MFP) but once again, I should be much more organized by Monday!
I don’t want to get too insane about macros but for this month I think it would be helpful to have something to shoot for. I’ll probably adjust things as I go along and find how much food my body needs to feel good. But this should be a good starting point. I have tested various eating styles and feel my best when I eat more healthy carbs (not bread or any white/wheat flour items). Mainly fruit, vegetables, and some grains within reason like oats, quinoa, rice.
Goal Macros: 2,200 calories
3. Sleep : Went to bed a little later than planned but still got a good 7 hours in (10:30-6:30).
4. Water: Drank over 12 cups 🙂
I have been reading High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard and it’s pumping me up! In a nutshell this (see below) is what I WILL do for the next 30 days (starting August 16, 2018 till September 30, 2018) as an experiment. I need some skin in the game and this blog is the perfect place for me to do just that. I have some big goals for my health and fitness and need a place to keep myself accountable and build consistency with good habits that move the marker. Health and fitness can be very confusing at times but if we really boil it down to the basics these are always key:
Document daily
Ambitious Goals:
Aesthetics: Lose 10 lbs of FAT. Bring in my waist and lift/raise/tone my booty. Discover/build ab muscles! My measurement goals 34/25/35
Strength: Be able to hip thrust over 100 lbs, do 3-5 pull ups
Current Stats
Weight: 140 lbs
Bust: 34″
Waist: 27.5″
Hips: 37.5″
**DISCLAIMER: I like my body right now and who I am BUT there is nothing wrong with wanting more from yourself. Self-care (aka working out and eating right) are actually forms of self love. It can be fun to push the envelope and see what we are truly capable of 🙂
Operation Consistency
