Back On Day 2

Well, I survived day 1. Day 2 started at 3:05 this morning. I'm sure I'll be tired later, but it's only a half hour earlier than normal.

Today's workout:
3.1 mile run in 29:14
Legs(circuits with shoulder work & cardio in the mix)
Finished with 15 minutes of elliptical

Food yesterday was great. I was actually slightly below my calorie goal, but my macros were on point. Where I am more focused on my macros, I am thrilled with the food yesterday.

These pics are a couple of weeks old. I'm so pleased with how much muscle I've been able to build in the past few months. My body is shaping up quite nicely.

The thing I've struggled with the past few weeks are accepting the changes. I've loved seeing the changes in my arms and legs, but my waist line is changing because of my legs/booty changing. My stomach looks like it sticks out further in the front and not as "flat" as it normally is. But that's not the case. It's because my booty is lifting and shaping and my love handles are going down. My stomach hasn't gone down much though. If that even makes sense. It's so hard to describe

Anyways, overall I'm happy,  but this new body is taking some getting used to.

Monday Motivation......

This morning, I Did Not Want To Get Out Of Bed! 4:39 came to early. I rolled over, turned the alarm clock off and thought 'another 2 hours of sleep sounds so much better'. Then I told myself......

You gotta start this Monday off right!! 

The old saying is true "you never regret a workout". I just have to keep reminding myself of that. 

Also I weighed in today at 

142.4

I usually think I will lose more. However, 1-2 pounds a week is what I am aiming for. That is much healthier for my body and my mind! If I drop 5 pounds in the first week, I get discouraged with EVERY weigh in that isn't 5 pounds down. I feel more relaxed. I know I am working out hard, getting back to running, and cleaning up my diet. I am so happy with a 2.2 pound loss.

The only problem lately is I CAN NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT!! For the past month or so I have had a hard time falling asleep. I took Melatonin last night around 9:00 and it never kicked in. I laid in bed wide awake staring at the ceiling, then I watched dumb TV shows that ALWAYS MAKE ME FALL ASLEEP and nothing! I finally fell asleep naturally at about midnight. It was rather aggravating.  Does anybody know of anything a girl can do to get some sleep? Geesh...it's making me coo coo for the puffs. 

This weekend was so uneventful. Telling you about it would make you fall asleep. So, I won't. Next weekend, I promise to come back with something exciting!

How was your weekend???
