So far, everything has gone according to plan. I know based on prior experience that sometime in the coming 3 weeks, something will attempt to derail my progress or impede it severely. I'm trying to prepare for any eventuality and create back-up plans just in case, while also remembering that this is a journey. There will be bad days and I just have to move forward and not let the rotten times get me down or let me give up.
I'm thankful to have wonderful people following this challenge who are not only my cheerleaders and accountability partners, they have the same struggles and issues I do. It's nice to know you aren't alone when crap hits the fan and that you have a safe place to fall when you need to vent, complain or shed some tears.
Okay, back to the good stuff!!
The rest of December went very well fitness wise. Last night was my first derby practice in a few weeks and while everyone was physically exhausted by the end, I felt as if I could still keep going. I am VERY thankful I did speed during my off-derby time!
As I have mentioned previously, my 60-day plan is a 2 week workout cycle that repeats. Monday was the first day and I did my 2 hours of intense skating. Today was P90X Chest & Back & Ab Ripper X (ARX), plus I did an extra 20 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow I have 2 hours of derby and Thursday brings P90X: Shoulders & Arms and ARX.
Eating has been pretty easy albeit minimal. I'm not "dieting" or doing anything other than eating healthfully and doing Shakeology (protein shake) for one meal a day. I'm tracking everything I eat on MyFitnessPal (MFP) and I have had 2 days of VERY low calories. Now, before everyone gets on me for not eating enough, here's the scoop.... I just haven't been hungry. Yesterday my calorie total was in the 900's and tonight it was just barely over 1200 calories. I know that's WAY too low for me, but for 1 or 2 days... it's not going to be an issue. I have no doubt that tomorrow and the following days I'll be ravenous and feel like a bottomless pit food-wise. I promise to keep everyone posted in the coming week as this changes.
3 days down, 57 days to go. Did I mention this is a competition? And the person to lose the most inches in 60 days wins? As anyone who knows me can tell you, I THRIVE on competition. So bring it on! I'm ready, able and eager....
Warmest regards,
Grace
