So I didn't weigh myself this morning. Partly because I don't want to know my weight, and partly because I have made the decision that I was going to take a 3 week break from weighing myself. These past two weeks have been difficult. I've been sick with the flu, and then a cold, during this time and have not been able to exercise as intensely as I would like. Also, since I have been sick, overtired, stressed etc, I haven't been eating well.
So starting today, I'm going back to writing down what I eat. I eat less, and eat better, when I am writing down what I am eating. Seeing it on paper makes me realize how much snacking I do during the day, which of course contributes to not shedding the weight as quickly as I would like.
I am enjoying my new workouts, though, and I am seeing increases in my strength. I'm doing a program from simplyshredded.com, and here is the breakdown.
Monday-Upper Body A
Tuesday-Lower Body A
Wednesday- OFF
Thursday-Upper Body B
Friday-Lower Body B
Saturday-OFF
Sunday-OFF
With these workouts, is also a cardio component, but I have not started it yet. It involves a 10-15min HIIT followed by 15-30 min low intensity cardio sessions in the mornings of each day that I do weights.
There is also a nutritional plan for the program, which I may start trying to follow. I need to plan and organize my days better so that I am not crashing with low energy resulting in me eating food to get quick energy. I need the proper food and the proper timing of eating to make sure that I stay energized all day long.
If I get brave enough, I think that tomorrow I'll take some pictures and start a weekly picture progress series to see if there are any changes, especially since I am holding off on weighing myself.
