Slim Down Saturdays - February 7th


I was discouraged with a gain last week, so I didn’t end up linking up.  I am back this week to link up with Gina for Slim Down Saturday to share my progress.



Updates:
Over the past two weeks, I have lost one pound.  I definitely hit a plateau last week.  I decided to up my cardio and it seems to have worked.  I still haven’t figured out how to get a restful night’s sleep, but there have been a few nights where I slept for a solid chunk of time. 
Something to Do Better:
I love taking body pump and completing other toning workouts at home, but I hate being sore afterwards.  This leads me to go easy on the weight sometimes.  This week I want to challenge myself and up the weight during these toning workouts. 
This Week’s Goal:
The Tone It Up girls are encouraging all participants to complete their 7-Day Slim Down (7DSD) this week. The meal plan isn’t too different from what I’ve been doing except there’s no bread or starches in the morning.  I also have to limit the salt that I use while cooking.  I hope that it will all be worth it come Valentine’s Day.   In conjunction with meal plan, there are two-a-day workouts to complete.  Cardio after teaching all day is a struggle, but I plan to stick with it.
Quote:

I went with another quote that makes me laugh yet it is so true.  If I suck it up and make time to exercise now, I won’t be trying to squeeze into clothes that are too tight. 

Good luck this week and try your best to avoid all the Valentine's Day candies and treats.
