Sunday Recap (8.18.13)

This week was a struggle with getting back on track. My water, I think I hit 3 days. I did however hit all 6 days of the cardio and pushup challenge. But I had to workout on Sunday to do it since I missed Tuesday. I did have a great weekend with getting back on track and hitting my macros both Saturday and Sunday. Exercise this weekend was hiking, swimming, pilates, and dog walks. It felt good to do something different, but don't get me wrong, I'm still sore. My shoulders, butt, and abs are quite sore.

I also realized that I am halfway through my challenges for the month. I'm feeling pretty accomplished for sticking with it and not giving up. I have noticed that my push-ups are coming along and I can actually flex my pec muscles, which I think is pretty cool. I can't wait till I can do full push-ups and hoping I'll be able to accomplish this by end of the year. I think it might be possible, it's amazing how much easier they are already.

So this week's focus is nutrition. My workouts are going great and the bigger piece of the puzzle is the stuff that I put into my mouth. I'll be great for a few days then stress, tiredness, or just feeling like I need a treat derail me. This week there is no going over budget and I have plenty of food in the house. So if I want a treat, guess it's time to get creative or pop a piece of gum.

So top 3 for the week:

1. Water: Gallon a day
2. Challenges: pushups/squats/dips and cardio 6 days a week
3. Staying within 1700 calories
