Weekly Weigh In


I do have numbers to report this week!

But first, how did the week go?

Well, the plan was eat the "Clean Week" nutrition plan, follow the "Clean Week" workouts and walk Monday - Friday. What actually happened was, Halloween evening dessert, one clean week workout, one treadmill workout, one HIIT workout and 4 walks.

Welcome to reality 😊

Plans are guidelines and a great place to start. My #1 focus right now is nutrition. I think workouts will happen with more regularity as I eat cleaner and begin to feel better.

So what is "Clean Week"?
"Clean Week" was put together as a program for people just getting started. Seven days of workouts and 7 days of clean eating all planned out for you. I enjoyed the nutrition plan as a great transition from "3 Day Refresh" the weekend before and then back to what is considered regular daily eating.

I stuck to my nutrition plan the entire week, including my planned treats on Halloween. I did not count points, calories, or containers all week. My mind had been feeling really restricted so I made a deal with myself - EAT - the only rule, it has to be clean, real food. I planned out my week and bought extra fruits and veggies for any hunger pains. Guess what? It worked! I enjoyed lots of good food and I plan to continue this until I hit a plateau then I'll count something.

Let's talk workout.
I was very sporadic but I moved every day except Sunday.

I walked 4 days


I did Couch to 5k one day




I did a HIIT workout


I also did one "Clean Week" workout


The "Clean Week" workout was great. It was set up HIIT style. The trainer, Megan, takes popular moves from Beachbody workouts and created a week long program. I would feel comfortable recommending the workout to anyone. She shows modifications and builds on moves to increase intensity. Each workout is 30 minutes.

All in all I call the week a SUCCESS!

In full disclosure, when I started Refresh I was up approximately 20 pounds from my lowest weight. But, I am not focusing on that because that cannot be changed. I am focusing on good choices each day and hoping to slowly get back to there... and then beyond!

After my first 10 days, I am back on my way! I was down 4.6 pounds since October 28th when I started Refresh. I'm weighing on Monday's now and 1.4 of those pounds were from October 30th to my weigh in this week on November 6th.

Current total weight loss since June 1, 2013 is 115 pounds.

Curious what's on the agenda this week?
More food - real, tasty, clean food 😋
Core de Force at least 3 days, 3 HIIT workouts and morning walks Monday - Thursday 💪

What is the reward?

I love it when God shows up at church or in a teaching I'm listening to confirming what he and I have been talking about. That happened ...
