Day Seven: One Week Down!

Tuesday, April 5, 2016

Wake up 6:45am

Hello there! Welcome to the end of Week One!! I hope you all feel proud and accomplished as you have made it through 7 days of workouts, I know I certainly do! At this point you might be thinking, "Isn't it time to treat myself with some cake?" No. That's a big "No, no" for the Fit Bride in 85 Challenge! If you must have something sweet, like we all do from time to time, please choose the healthy options. No sense throwing off all that hard work you've been putting in to reach your goal! Dates are fully of sweetness and will curb that craving no problem! Use discretion and check the nutrition facts for the amount of dates you should consume.

WORKOUT

To celebrate Week One, I decided to fill the day with as much activity as I could! I did one set of the Plank workout from yesterday, along with day 5 of the 21-Day Arm Sculpting Challenge in the morning. I should have worked harder and still wish that I had put in more effort to that. See? This regretful feeling isn't worth it - always put in your best effort when you know you can push yourself harder! I made up for it in the evening though at my new favorite Zumba class! If you haven't tried Zumba, you are seriously missing out. It's so hard, but so fun! Being in a room full of people dancing with you adds a level of comfort and motivation. Zumba is all about having fun and getting in shape, so even if you look like a chicken, chances are over half of the class does too and that's okay. You'll still be covered in sweat by the end of the workout anyway, so it's worth the fun of going and getting involved! I'm going to bring one of my friends the next time I go this Saturday morning, I can hardly wait!

DIET

Breakfast: Heather's Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup blueberries
2 tbsp honey
1 sprinkle chocolate chips

1 daily coffee with milk and honey (I should mention that I have an espresso maker at home that I make espresso shots with, so it's not just boring drip coffee. This is why I use a bit more milk to cut the bitterness, but lately I've been using less milk.)

Lunch:
3 eggs hard boiled
1 pink lady apple
1 orange cutie

I packed 1 cup cooked broccoli, but never got around to eating it. I guess I wasn't that hungry.

Dinner: Thin Crust Pizza
Papa Murphy's Canadian Pineapple pizza and Chicken Bacon Ranch (Quinn thought he ordered garlic chicken, but accidentally got this one. He realized it when he opened it up, but that's okay)

Bedtime 9:30pm
