Wow yesterday was busy - worked my normal shift, had dentist appointment (my teeth look great!) then went straight to my Zumba class. Didn't have time to relax at home like I usually do. After class, I snuggled with the hubby while watching "Mean Girls" on the couch since I hadn't seen him ALL day. Ended up staying up later than I wanted too - but it wasn't too bad since I started my new hours at work today. I'm coming in an hour later than I was before and I'm hoping it will be good for my sleep schedule.
Today begins my countdown to D-Day....I started watching my nutrition last night and the scale dropped to a nice 175.6 this morning. I was expecting to feel a little leaner after dropping 2lbs overnight but I still feel squishy, so I'm actually thinking I might have dropped more fat during the past few weeks and water weight is hiding it all! Need to go grocery shopping soon to re-stock the house with diet friendly foods. I haven't had time to prep food for lunches, so I've been eating on the run the past few days.
Got a mile ran earlier today and it felt good. Knees are still a little wonky so I had to take it slower than normal (around 11 min mile pace) but it still felt good. At least I got the mile in! I have class tonight, so I don't think I'm going to run any more today. Also - note to self: I need to put my running shoes in the car so they're always available. I can't afford to ruin my knees to maintain my sanity - my jobs depend on my knees functioning well. After work, I plan on starting the Spring into Shape Bootcamp workouts on Spark - they are quick 10 mins strength training workouts which I think will fit into my busy schedule easily over the next few weeks. The goal is 10 mins of ST 7 days a week and 5 days of cardio (which I already do thanks to my classes) so I'm looking forward to just the little change up in my normal routine.
Tracking on my food blog will start today - been taking photos of everything I'm eating and will update with Day 1 either tonight or tomorrow. I want to include my Bugg burns on a daily basis - but those might be updated the following day to ensure accuracy with my deficits. Goals are around 1800 cals a day - hopefully this will be met!!!
I think that's it - I feel drowsy today and my schedule feels off - but that's to be expected when changing shifts. I'm thinking this one will work great. Hubby should start his new shift in a few days and then this will work a little better. It was hard having him get up at his normal time and me getting up later (I used to wake up before he did).
