Below is my diary entry I wrote the day before I realized I needed to start blogging about all of this:
WEEK SIX:
Today starts week six. I'm staying strong with a cleaner and cleaner diet. I can't say I've avoided artificial sweeteners entirely. I struggle with my morning oatmeal without some Splenda, or a cup of tea without Stevia. I'm trying to get away from black tea and go only to herbal (but I really haven't acquired a taste for it). I cut out Balance Bars after reading the ingredients label - so much unpronounceable shit! Instead I eat thinkThin bars since I at least recognize the ingredients. I am going to continue to eat unprocessed whole foods that I prepare myself. My diet is otherwise really great, and next week I'll probably look into new alternatives to what I've been eating (of equal nutritional value) so that I don't get bored.
Otherwise, it's all about my workouts. I'm going to start mixing up the machines and free weights I do. I'm going to start utilizing my lunch break to get outside - take a 30 minute walk here or there a couple times a week. I'm going to start doing yoga a third time each week, on Sunday mornings before volleyball. And I'm going to continue to push myself to see results - heavier weights, more sets, more reps. And who knows... maybe I'll start meditating?
OH! One HUGE thing happened on Saturday in this week - I was at the beach and realized my bikini bottoms needed to be tightened - on BOTH sides. Woo-hoo!!!! The results are starting to show!
