Work is getting the best of me lately, so I was too exhausted to workout on Saturday. I so needed a break and some rest that I spent the afternoon on the couch sleeping.
Needless to say that I did miss my Day6 workout because of that.
BUT Day7 should have been some "active" rest day - so I decided not to make a big deal out of it and instead to workout full force today. I did my strenght workout and 35mins of cardio on the treadmill afterwards. I even fit in some running, which is a new challenge for me as I am normally only walking.
I still need to work on my eating though - I did rejoin Weight Watchers again and I am journaling and counting points, but I could do better. I am in my points range, but I am not always making the healthiest choice and I am for sure eating too less protein.
Goal for next week is to tackle this and try to make more sensible choices.

DAY 2 + 3 -- Accountability
I'm having a really crazy week at work and I know that I would normally not be working out.
But because I am part of this amazing challenge http://www.celebrateweightloss.com/community/viewforum.php?f=19 , I'm giving myself a kick in the butt every morning and do it!
I know that I get distracted too easily, that I find 100 more important things to do instead of working out - and I often beat myself up about this. But over the course of ,my weight loss I got to know myself and this weakness and I do my best to fight against it. I know I need accountability to keep me going - like going to my Weight Watchers meetings regulary or like participating in an online challenge. The motivation I get from my fellow teammates is amazing and it really helps me to stay on track! So ladies - thank you!!!

DAY1 - Last Chance Workout Challenge
Today was Day1 -
and I did start good, thanks to my preparation yesterday evening.
I put the disc in the Wii, rolled out my yoga mat and had my workout clothes near by - so I had no excuse to start right after getting up.
To be honest it was hard to do squats, lunges .... before breakfast as I am no morning person at all, but it was so worth it. I felt so good about myself the whole day. I had a crazy day at the office and normally I would have reached for chocolate to help me through - but today I didn't, cos I didn't want to ruin the good feeling I had.
I hope this holds on for the next 29 days :)
I did take my measurements in the morning to better keep track of the results this challenge will bring - I thought a lot today if I should post them or not, as I have to admit that I am not that confident about my body right now. BUT I figured that I want to be totally honest with myself and of course with my readers - so here they are:
Weight: 164lbs
BMI: 22.9
Hip: 40.16 inch
Waist: 32.5 inch
right tigh: 23.8 inch
left tigh: 23.4 inch
Hopefully I can show off some great results after this 30 days!

30 day Last Chance Workout - Challenge
I know I have been quiet lately, but I didn't feel like talking much. But now I am back and I think writing more will be good for me.
Well, I joined the "30 day Last chance workout - challenge" on Paula's great forum: http://www.celebrateweightloss.com/community/index.php and I added a little detail for me to it - not only will I complete my workout during this 30 days, I will also write about it daily.
So follow me on my journey the next 30 days, I would love to hear your comments and maybe a lil cheering on too. :)
