This Week

So I was going to title this "I'm hungry" but that was too obvious.  The plan is to always be hungry but not starving.  If I'm starving then I've failed to do it right.  If I'm starving then I know I'm going to indulge to excess.  That's the difference between going to McD's and ordering a filet of fish and an order of fries and ordering a Big Mac, a filet of fish, and a large fry with a milkshake.  Which I definitely have done in the past.  So starving bad, hungry good. 

Right now I'm fighting the temptation I've set up for myself.  A big bag of chips is sitting on the shelf in my pantry.  I see it every time I walk by the refrigerator.  I've decided that I'm not going to eat them but wait for another game day get together and then bring them.  It's tough but I get a bit of good feeling when I shake my head and walk away.  On Weds I drove past the grocery store and didn't stop for the $5 sushi they offer every week.  I really wanted to stop but again didn't give in.  Of course I will at some point, but then I hope to really enjoy the sushi for the right reason and not simply because I was lazy.

I'm quite happy with the latest weigh in as I broke the 240 mark for the first time in a couple of months.  238.  I enjoyed a week of work outs.  I did skip a kettle bell work out though as I wasn't feeling it.  I have been continuous since the first of Jan. so I wasn't too bothered by skipping.  I did skip though because my left ankle was tweaked when I took a tumble in an earlier kettle bell class.  It just now started to bother me so I decided to take a break.

I did a workout on my own this week and it was a body weight workout.

First I did burpee's with a push up- 3 sets of 10
Then I did 3 sets of 8 push ups on the exercise ball.  On my stomach rolling out to my thighs for 8 and then out to my shins for 8 than back to my thighs for 8.  That was one set.  I repeated that two more times.
Then on the exercise mat laying on my back with my heels on the exercise ball bridging off the floor and pulling the exercise ball into my butt.  I did four sets of 12.

A short workout but I tried to make it count.
