Optifast Week 11
Thursday, June 23, 2016
Well, I’ve made it 10 weeks (11 classes) on the program and 9 weeks on shakes. 3 more to go!! I feel
proud, less fat, more rested, more energetic and slightly (barley) less
stressed.
After my weeks of hell, things have settled down a bit and
knock on wood things have been fairly drama free.
I still feel like I have zero time in my life, I’m not sure
if that will change since I have 4 kids, but if you’re a blog reader of mine
you’ll have noticed I’ve only been blogging once a week. Something had to give,
and well that was it for a while.
I will probably link up to Shaunacey’s grateful post next
Monday because I really need to get my head in the game gratitude wise.
I also need to clean my house, do some laundry, play with my
kids and edit some weddings. AHHHHHHHHH
Scale victory up to this week: 51.6lbs. – Finally broke that
50lb mark.
Non Scale Victories: Blood pressure is down. I can work out
now without dying. I’m starting to follow Kat less and less on 21 day fix. I
tried on some dresses I couldn’t even get on before and they fit. All of my
before pants/shorts fall off. I’m sleeping WAYYYY better. I have less headaches,
skin has cleared up and I think that’s it.
Some days I feel awesome and think, wow I can really notice
it. Some days I feel super fat and flabby and think, I’ve lost 50 effing
pounds, why am I still so fat.
Umm, cause you have a lot of weight to lose Nicole. Duh. It
will come off slowly but surely.
Some days I dream about eating my way through a land of
mashed potatoes and gravy.
Other days I want to wear a bathing suit without being embarrassed
about my upper thighs and tummy.
This week in class we learned about our food transition that
is coming up in 3 weeks. And what our plates will look like, I’m not going to
get into that right now because well, I don’t want to talk about food anymore
(damn you mashed potatoes) but when we start food I’ll post what I’m eating,
and our portion sizes and mix of food. The biggest thing I learned was not to be
afraid of carbs. We all had it in our head that carbs are the devil, but it’s a
very balanced meal plan and it includes carbs.
And that’s really all there is. Oh, except I hit that goal
of 50, so that means new clothing, but I really don’t like that one and I want
a fit bit, so I think I’ll get that instead.
Some people have asked what my work outs are so I figured I
would post my schedule (it changes sometimes but this is average)
Monday – 21 day fix total Body Cardio or Turbo Fire Low HIIT
20
Tuesday – 21 day fix upper body
Wednesday – Zumba
Thursday – 21 day fix lower body
Friday – Cize or 21 day fix cardio fix
Saturday – Sometimes Zumba (depends if I have a wedding or not
and how early it is) OR 21 day fix Dirty 30
Sunday – 21 day fix yoga, or a cardio if I’m up for it.
Okay I think that's all I wanted to say this week.
Peace.

okay I swear I took a lot away from this but right now I'm wanting mashed potatoes and gravy ya jerk lol
ReplyDeleteI am seriously so proud of you, I know I say that every week but I truly am. Just think how far you've come in really such a short period of time.
I'm so curious about the transition to food and I can't wait to see what that looks like. I struggle with food sometimes too (because I want ALL the things).
GET a fit bit!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine (I got the HR Charge) and it really will make you kick up your activity a notch purely for competition. Plus, it's fun! AND then you can add me and Deena and Christy as friends!!!!! I mean, do you need any other reason? No, go get one now. Plus, you're going to need to buy clothes after you lose more weight anyways!!
You seriously inspire me!
ReplyDeleteYay for breaking the 50 lb milestone.
