Day 36 - A New Challenge

I finished the Emotional Eating 30 Day Journal Challenge yesterday, so I wanted to come up with a new challenge. I found this 30 Day abs challenge and I thought this would be perfect.  Since I re-started strength training a couple of weeks ago (I think?), I realized that I didn't lose as much of my upper body strength as I thought.  I just couldn't see my muscles anymore because of the weight.  However, my core strength is just gone.  I figured I could add this to my strength training and see how much improvement I can get in 30 days.

Alright, honesty time.  Since I fell off the wagon last weekend, I haven't been able to stick to my 24 hour plan.  Last night I wanted something sweet (after I had already had dinner), so I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Lame!!I'm being awful to myself.  I want to see a change but, apparently, I'm not willing to put in the work right now.  I have to get off my ass and recommit to me.  I also didn't get in my elliptical at all.  I did do strength training and my lap around the cul-de-sac but that was it.  I am super busy right now but I had time to stop once an hour and do 8 minutes on the elliptical.  I just didn't. 

So, no more bullsh*t!!  Today's the day!!  I'm here to make myself the best me I can be and I'm going to stick to it!!!

Today's food plan:

Breakfast:  my Greek yogurt concoction

Lunch:  Chicken noodle soup

Dinner:  Shrimp stir fry

Snack: banana (I'm out of all of my other fruit)

Exercise:  Cul-de-sac lap, 30 Day Ab Challenge Day 1 and Elliptical 5 times plus housework if I get to it.

Alright, I hope everyone has a fab Thursday and remember...determination is nothing without dedication and hard work...
