This weeks update

Slow blogging week for me this week. I’ve spent more time trying to catch up on everyone else’s blogs rather than thinking about writing in mine. You all ROCK you know, everyone inspires me in one way or another and I just love catching up and reading how everyone is doing.

This lovely lady (266 – it’s the only name I know)  is celebrating 100 followers and Onderland with a very fantastic type of challenge. She is the same lady that I have joined up with for the Christmas Challenge and she is quite the inspiration. Go check her out.

I did OK this week and could have done better. I’ve been having an issue getting up at 4 this week. Since I started juicing I seem to be sleeping better. I don’t know if it is actually linked or not but it works for me. And so when that alarm goes off at 4, I’d rather just sleep for the next hour before I have to actually really get up. I am going to try harder this coming week.

We went out for beers and a hockey game last night so my 0% alcohol is now going to show numbers and I am ok with that. As long as it isn’t more than once or maybe twice a week, I’m good with that. I am in this for life, and I am going to continue to live but within limits. :) 

I am still snacking on junk at night and really need to stop that. I can do so well all day long, keeping my calories and food intake pretty clean and healthy and then before I go to bed I snack. It is a habit and not a need and one that I must work to break.  So for this week, I am going to really work on that goal. It is only hurting me in the long run so I must do something about it.

So as for my Christmas Challenge update, I’m down 3lbs. It is not bad but I know it could be much better if I just focus.Yesterday was the only day I went way over in the calories and the exercise could have been better.

I walked to the train all week because I figured if my lazy butt was to lazy to get out of bed to do any strength training, it needed to WALK to work. The weather has been pretty fair all week so I just dressed in layers and walked. By the time I hit the train station, I’m removing wraps…. to hot.  So as for strength training… That Shred workout last Sunday put my legs in overload for about 3 days (big baby). I really just jumped into that one and went overboard. I am going to attempt it again today and will likely push myself just as hard.

So here is to the start of a new week and a successful one.

I hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC day and making good choices.\

  1. Sandra, it is great to hear you are sleeping better. That is such an important thing for us. I also liked reading that this is a lifestyle. You have to tweak it as you go, but it is a lifestyle.

  2. I Sandra, I agree with Steve. Sleep is super important and I am glad you are getting a little more sleep - it regulates everything. I want to thank you for all of your encouraging comments on my blog this week - I really appreciate it.

  3. One trick I use at night is to thoroughly brush, floss and rinse with mouthwash early in the evening. That seems to send the message to my disfunctional brain that the stomach is shut down for business today.

  4. Thank you so, SO much for posting this!!! I love the idea of being able to give back like this and I am hoping to be able to reach the goal before the end of this month. I really appreciate your help in getting the message out there! Thanks!!!

    Also, as far as the late night snacking goes, maybe try Jack's idea or have cut up fruit or veggies on hand to reach for when the munchies hit!

  5. I do the same thing as Jack. Once my mouth is clean the urge seems to go away. Nothing tastes good with a toothpaste mouth :)
