I usually allow myself one cheat meal a week, but with all the festivities of this weekend I think I had a few too many! We had a wedding on Friday night, took my mom and brother out for their birthdays on Saturday and I had one of my best friends wedding shower today. Now with things slowing down, and my yoga pants a little tighter, it is time to re-align with my goals and get myself back on track. My goal for myself is to lose some belly fat so I can see some ab definition, work on getting my arms and shoulders to pop and to look awesome in the strapless wedding dress for my friends wedding I am standing up in November. I feel that this is a realistic goal for myself. I know that if I want this to happen I have to tighten up on my eating. I would say right now I am about 85-90% clean eating, but I do allow myself more than a few treats. I am great with my workouts, but I know in order to see the results, I need to be at 100% clean eating and leave the treats alone. Sometimes I entertain the idea of competing in a fitness competition before we have baby number two, and I know that I can if I really set my mind too it. I may start researching it in the next few weeks...we'll see! What are your goals for the rest of the year?
Week 6 was a so, so week. Definitely not on par with some of my better weeks, however like I said yesterday, I was taking some rest days because I wasn't feeling great at the beginning of the week. I am well rested and ready to take on week 7 and work harder, better to get faster and stronger! How was your week? Did you get your workouts in?
Here is my week 6 week in review:
Monday: Chest & arms with interval cardio
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Back & Shoulders
Thursday: Jillian Michaels Kickboxing- 40 minutes
Friday- Rest
Saturday- 600 calorie workout
Sunday- Rest
