Fit Friday - Week 2!

Since we are doing Fit Friday, my "new week" is Friday to Friday. I'm going to try and remember all the goods and bads of the week and honestly post them here. Several others are joining in on this Hot for the Holidays! You can still join, just hop over to Missy @ It's Almost Naptime and sign up!




I'm feelin' like I did pretty well this week!

Last Friday night we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant that is super close to home, super fast, and super yummy! I'm not really a huge fan of Mexican food, but hello! chips and salsa could be like family members to me. I usually eat way more chips and salsa than I did that night. I was so proud. I usually get 2 hard shell beef tacos with all the fixings, but instead I asked for my sour cream on the side rather than having it slathered across the entire top. I also opted out on the very yummy and usually much needed frozen margarita! I drank water!

Saturday was pretty good too. We grilled salmon for dinner (my favorite) but then ventured out to our favorite ice cream shop. This was the last day to go as they were closing for the season. I chose a vanilla kiddie cone instead of my very favorite small Butterfinger blizzard! Yeah me!

Sunday evening was spent at a corn maze and wienie roast with the youth from our church! I had 1 hot dog (I can only eat them when cooked over an open fire) and I passed on the s'mores. It wasn't really that hard to pass up, I hate to get all sticky!

Monday is my normal gym day! I do a 1-hour body step class. It always kicks my butt, but I LOVE it! I've been drinking more water, but I have also been drinking skim milk for lunch!

Tuesday night I made a great 30-minute roasted chicken recipe for dinner. It was yummy, easy and not too bad for us.

Wednesday is my other normal gym day, however I didn't get to attend that class. I was at church, helping to cook dinner for later that night. Got a visit from my "monthly friend" this day too, and we all know how those days can be. I caved just a little and ate a peanut butter cup about 3:00ish. Oh, and I felt so much better after I did!

Thursday night I attend a 1-hour body step class to make up for the one I skipped on Wednesday. I was totally pooped after that.

And finally, I just got back from my Friday morning 1-hour body pump class at the gym. Which mean that I did get my three 1-hour class in at the gym this week! Yippy!

So all in all I think I did pretty well.

  • I didn't have any "mommy drinks" all week! Oh and that's a hard one!
  • I didn't eat after 8:00 p.m., except for Wednesday night, I shared some popcorn with my hubby!
  • No seconds!
  • I didn't drink any soda! Nope, not a one!
  • Got to the gym 3 times this week: Monday AM, Thursday PM, and Friday AM
  • Did better, but not great with water!
The first week always seems to go pretty well, it's all these future weeks that I have to work on. I think checkin' in with my new fitness friends is really going to help! I hope you all had and good week as well and let's keep up the good work!

Great Job! Good Luck this week and I'll check in next friday for results from week two of Fit Friday. I gotta try that giving up the soda jig. Probably do me some good but it's my "coffee" in the morning.

Hey, only one pb cup? You deserve a medal. I probably would have eaten the whole bag. Thanks for the encouragement.

You did really good this week!! I am in awe over your restraint with the PB cups! It is taking all my will power to stay out of the halloween candy we have to pass out. Especially the Kissables!

Way to go, Traci! I wish I could join you at your gym classes...they sound like fun.

And you get a medal for passing up the Butterfinger Blizzard. I forgot that the DQ closes in the winter - I guess 'cause it's a walk-up only?

You had a great week. By the way... You're blog is adorable. Did you design it? And how did you get your kiddos pictures with the edging around them?

Keep up the good work you're doing great!
