I really enjoyed the Shakeology 3 day refresh! I didn’t miss coffee for the 3 days, I drank herbal tea as recommended instead. Since I was drinking 4 shakes a day I REALLY got excited about the small servicing of fruits/veggies/fats I could eat. I feel like I really enjoyed the food.

The downsides were peeing all the time, including many times throughout the night. Also I didn’t realize how tempting it was to grab a pretzel if T had a bag out or a food sample in the grocery store.

I also hosted a going away party for my colleague and I picked up a huge sheet cake and a nice fruit tray, but I just drank water. I was okay with not eating the cake, but I was cutting it and not licking frosting off my fingers. Truth be told I brought. Piece home for T and a piece I had this morning.

I definitely plan to keep up the recommended fruit and veggie/fat (ex. Carrots and almond butter) servings and really want to get better about pounding water. Gotta keep up this momentum!

WIW sorta

I’m doing the Beachbody/Shakeology 3 day refresh since it’s only a 3 day work week. I started yesterday and it was decent. I didn’t feel overly hungry and I’m drinking a TON of water. The hardest part was the timing of when to eat since they way certain windows of time between meals, snacks, etc. 

I weighed in yesterday and I will weigh in on Friday morning when I am done:

Yesterday: 205.9

Last Week: 202.8

I honestly have NO IDEA what is going on with my body. I’ve worked out 14 of the 17 days of January so far. I’m feeling better and stronger, but some out scale, stop fucking with my head. 

MLK 5K fun!

Yesterday two former colleagues joined for me a 5K that we power walked and T ran. The 5K was at a park/lake near my old job, so I reached out to some former colleagues/friends who I had been wanting to reconnect with. We had a lovely time walking and talking. It was a super small race so there was no pressure and we didn’t get in anyone’s way. We did the 5K in ~51 minutes. T ran it, but missed a course sign so he ran it a bit short. He ran it in sub 29, that jerk! 

You’d think waking up at 7am on my day off for a 5K was enough for me, but no I went to a 6:30pm kickboxing class that was very choreographed. I loved the instructor’s energy, but her cues could have been better. Not sure if I’ll become a regular, but it was a good workout – I feel it today.
