Working out is nothing new in my world. I do it regularly But when you come to crunch time and want to look FABULOUS at your wedding, sometimes you need to kick it into a higher gear. That is exactly what I started doing last week.
After feeling like I wasn't loosing weight (and seeing I wasn't), something had to change. And I really knew the key that I was missing to lose the weight I wanted these past few months, but it's hard to change. My diet. I don't eat HORRIBLE, but I don't really watch what I eat either. Till last week. I have gotten very strict on my diet and I'm doing very well now that I've changed (this thing called a WEDDING is really helping that motivation).
Matt is a personal trainer (besides being a dancer and instructor). He writes my workouts up for me every 3-4 weeks and now is monitoring what I eat, so I feel fabulous on my wedding day. Honestly, this is more about me and not other people, I want to feel good and sexy.
I'm not one to eat breakfast. I don't like mornings, I don't wake up in time and I just don't want to do anything when I do wake-up. Last week I started getting up early (with the intentions of working out in the morning, that didn't happen), so instead I ate breakfast. A grapefruit. I've had one everyday since last week for breakfast and it is working out very well. I have also basically cut out cards (no bread right now). I'm not eating very much dairy, some milk here and there. I eat a lot of chicken (like twice a day) and almonds for a snack. This week I've added: avacado, vegetables, sweet potatoes and tonight I'm having fish!
I have completely cut out sugary drinks. I never drank soda (unless I'm having a Bacardi Coke), so this wasn't that hard of a task. Though I had to add "drink more water" to my to do list. I struggle with this, even though there is always a water bottle around me.
As of this week as well, Matt & I are getting up and going for a morning jog two - three days a week. I'm also still going to the gym those evenings. I don't want to wear myself out too much so 2-3 days a week is just fine for morning jogs.
What little things do you do to keep your diet on track or motivated through your workouts?
The wedding is getting real! Happy 29 days before the wedding.
