This evening I did:
Heather Robertson - Intense TOTAL BODY Workout // Strength Training
Nice one. I just didn't feel the jumping today so just modified where necessary. I feel a bit shaky now, but it's all good.
I'm letting excuses get in the way of working out again this week and it's mostly the cold temperatures and work, but I could possibly still get two more strength workouts in before the week is up. Just have to catch myself off-guard sometimes and just do it before too much thought gets in the way. The same with walking - I only went out on Monday so need to go for a good one tomorrow so I'm hoping the weather behaves.
After a week of not tracking any calories I felt like giving it a go again this week. Still a challenge, but today I used my old trusted friend, 16:8 IF, to reduce calories somewhat. I've also prepped some lighter calorie meals for the next couple of days (hubby made a stew and I roasted some veg) so hoping to keep the end daily average under 1800. If I can manage it I will probably keep tracking until Friday, the 17th, and then take a break for the rest of the month.
Our new blender/food processor has somehow gotten lost in transit, but hopefully a new one will arrive on Friday. That means a tasty, hearty soup for next week's lunches, which also always helps to stick to a calorie deficit - and will be good overall health-wise.
The idea with tracking for this and some of next week is to just try to keep things a bit stable so I don't have another uptick, but we'll see how it goes. Still would dearly like to stay below 70kg this year and start the new year at a reasonable and not overly inflated weight (or size). We already have boxes of mince pies stashed in the cupboards and that whole idea of 'holiday snacking' is creeping in all over. I will try to stick to sensible portion sizes and not go 'hog-wild'. I'm also tempted to try to bake some gingerbread men - I do love them, but I don't even have a rolling pin or cookie cutter/s yet. Might make a plan this week though if the stars align.
I've met some folks who belong to a local gym that is about a 7 minute drive away and would involve me driving there on my own in the evenings. I will think about it for the new year, but I'm also not keen on being tied into a gym contract. The social aspect and meeting a friend for classes is very appealing though - maybe in Jan. There is also a gym that is about 25 minutes walk away, but I'd have to make some new friends there. The bonus is that it's cheaper and there's no contract involved. But, I'll stick to my home workouts for now.
Hope you're all having a great week so far! xxx
