Days 10, 11, & 12

I've been busy. ;)

The morning workout are going great! I hate waking up early, but I love how it makes me feel so energized and focused. And I love knowing my toddler is sleeping through them. ;) I can see that I am getting stronger. The workouts are going smoother and are getting more intense now that I am getting in the swing of things. And now I have my weights. Yay! I really feel I will get more out of the upper fix, since I struggled so much with the band.

I am not eating all of my boxes each day. End of story. I probably need to shift down, but, for now, I'm leaving it and just listening to my body. I'm trying to vary what is left at the end of each day. My appetite is really shrinking--or maybe I'm just bored and only eating enough to fill full. Both are valid possibilities. ;)

I also finished my Shakeology samples. I loved it. I really did. I almost decided to be a coach just for the discount, but then I talked myself out of it because I am SO busy...and I just don't think I can justify the cost, especially when looking at our other financial goals. So, back to the regular protein powder for now. I am, however, continuing to jazz up my breakfast shake with yogurt, fruit, and almond milk. And I'm doing it every day, regardless of the rules.
