This past weekend I refeeded. For those of you who do not know what it is, well you should Google. I know that my definition of a refeed is way different than what the IIFYM program says. For me it meant eating whatever the heck I wanted and not feeling guilty about it. So that is what I did on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I had real ice cream, french fries, pizza, a greasy burger and it was all wonderful, while I was eating it that is. By Monday I was tired, cranky, and felt like crap. But since I have been following this diet since March, I was craving a break. But as of yesterday I am back to the grind and I feel about 100000% better. I did not gain, but I am happy to report that I was able to put on jeans today that two months ago I was not able to fit in AND I did not need to use a Spanx. I call that a win! Wanna chat about diet or exercise? Tweet me @Sarindre or follow me on MyFitnessPal as korngirl723. Have a great week!

Another pretty good week. I managed to keep up with my gym going, still doing my 4 day splits. I did forego leg day this week as I had a LARP this weekend that I knew would see me put in 10-15 miles over the course of it. The scale is still moving in a downward slope, not always by as much as I think it should, but people have started to notice and comment on the differences they are seeing in me. So that is definitely a good sign.
Starting Weight: 215.6
Weight at the beginning of the week: 209.6
End of Week: 208.8
Starting weight: 213 (3/1)
Last week: 198 (6/3)
This week: 199 (6/10)
Goal weight: 190
It was a little bit of a rough week, fitness-wise. My workouts were fine, but I pretty much sabotaged them with a weekend bachelor party for my older brother. Someone brought a nacho cheese machine. Nothing else needs be said. I followed through with my plan to make it to the gym three times last week. On day 1, I lifted, focusing on chest, upper back, core, and legs. On day 2, I ran 2.3 miles on the treadmill starting at 6.5 mph and edging up to 8 mph when I finished. I also did 2 miles on the stationary bike. On day 3, I lifted, focusing on arms, shoulders, legs, and core. I did have a little activity with this weekend with water skiing, but lets not kid ourselves. The food negated all of that! Plan is to stick with the general workout plan for this week and try to recover from the poor food choices.

Pfft. That’s me blowing raspberries at my non-existent routine. I can’t wait until we move and I can get into a proper habit of Exercise/Swim/Walk rinse and repeat. At least I’m watching what I eat. The bonus is, I do love the local veggies so much, that my lunch these days usually consists of salad. This coming week is packing week for us (again) so it might be a bit of stretch (lol) to get some exercise in. As always, your ever diligent clumsypixie. <3
