Wednesday Week 2

It's been a long week since I last posted.

Headed out for the awards dinner

Last Wednesday was an eventful day for me. I got off work early to go home and do arm/ab day before heading downtown for an awards dinner. Last year my fiance and I hosted the event, this year he was accepting an award and a couple friends of ours were hosting. I had a successful workout and then we got ready and headed downtown.

I hadn't eaten all day (a bad habit of mine... not eating until dinner) and we went out for drinks before the event. I had two gin and tonics, then a couple beers at the event (along with dinner) and then we went out for more drinks after. I have no idea how many G&Ts I ended up having but, needless to say, I got drunk and blacked out. It was an overall awful experience.

So, I decided to get even more on board with Kayla Itsines and quit drinking indefinitely. It has now been a week since I've had any alcohol and I feel great, there is certainly no need for me to continue drinking when I can have just as much fun when I'm sober.

I was horribly hung over on Thursday so I didn't end up doing my LISS workout, but I picked back up again and did my full body workout on Friday. Both Saturday and Sunday I went out and played tennis. On Saturday I went with a friend of mine from work who is equally as bad as I am which makes it extra fun. On Sunday I went and played with my mom. Also fun, but she's definitely better than I am.

Monday was leg day and it went well, although I had no idea how hard jumping rope could be. I made the awful mistake of waiting until after dinner to do my workout, even though it was a few hours later I ended up vomiting at the end of my workout (never fun).

Berries from our garden

Yesterday it was down-pouring outside when I was going to do my LISS so I decided to put it off until today and do both LISS and arms/abs day today. It's also Wednesday, which means yoga day. It's going to be jam packed full of activities. Yeeseterday I also harvested these gorgeous berries from our yard for desert. I am so happy to have so many fruit trees and bushes in our back yard. We have strawberries, blueberries, red and golden raspberries, blackberries, grapes, figs, cherries, and apples... it's pretty amazing.

Anyway today is Wednesday. That means yoga and arms/abs day, as well as the LISS I put off yesterday. I plan to do my LISS at 11 just before yoga, I feel like yoga will be a good cool down and after workout stretch for me.

Also, this morning I took some progress photos and was surprised that I could actually see a difference from my before photos, no matter how small. I also created an instagram just for my bbg progress. It is amazing how great of a support system there is on instagram. I love seeing other peoples progress, it's such great motivation/inspiration. So while today is going to be a killer of a day, I'm excited for all of it. I can't wait to see my progress next week :)
