I'm LP3

Well it's been 11 days since I've updated. Don't get me wrong, I'm still on my journey but it's getting harder. Some lack of motivation here and there but I refuse to stop. So let's recap.

M 5th- 30 min Cardio. 31 min Strength.
T 6th- rest day.
W 7th- 53 min Cardio. 46 min Strength.
TH 8th- my back KILLED me from the workout on Wednesday plus I worked 11 hours so took the day off.
F 9th- work was busy and my body still wasn't feeling it so I skipped.
S 10th- 55 min Cardio. 35 min Strength.
SU 11th- skipped workout, no excuse.

So overall not bad...not 100% but still better than two months ago. Oh and I finally weighed myself. I was terrified since I haven't been 100% on my game. I actually went to weigh myself and ran away from the scale but Andrew made me do it. Guess what? I lost 5 more pounds! Hooray!! I was shocked, really shocked. I didn't even do my best and I still had a great loss. So is this working? I think so. It also made me realize that I need to not be so hard on myself when I have a lapse. As long as I get back up and get back to it, that's what's important. Like I said, I'm still doing a lot more than I was two/three months ago. So I need to not beat myself up.

Okay, so now I want to get to this week. I know the week isn't over but it's been an different week.
First off, I'm going to admit it.
Monday the 12th- Wednesday the 14th, nadda. I ate bad, I ate fast food, I drank more pop, and didn't work out. But there was a reason, not a good reason and not an excuse by any means, but still in my mind it made some irrational sense. Remember in some posts back I said I was joining an online fitness community with an online coach/trainer? Well I got my plan- nutritional and fitness plans on Thursday the 15th. I've been waiting and waiting for two weeks and the 15th finally arrived. So from the 12th through the 14th I kept saying, these are my last days! My last days to say goodbye to fast food (well, maybe fast food once a month but not on a weekly basis), my last days of pop (I think I will let myself have one or two a week, but not a jumbo pop), my last days of uber greasy food and super sweets (except on occasion). I felt like I was having my "last meal" or "last meal(s)." So like I said, not a good excuse but it's time to get on the ball. Time to start doing meal plans, cook delicious yet healthy meals, and focus. I won't go too much in to the plan since these plans are customized just for me. Basically, they took in to account everything, from height and weight, to my job profession, to my health issues, and my overall goals. I will focus on my Macronutrients, strength training 5 days a week, cardio 3 days a week, and core workouts 2 days a week. And the plan will be updated every two weeks or at least monthly. I'm really excited to be apart of this group, the coaches are amazing people and the people in the community are so supportive! So I'm officially an LP3 Team member!! The LP stands for the LEDBetter Project and the 3 stands for body, mind and soul. "To “Ledbetter” is to Live, Love, and Learn Every Day Better than the last and to strive for daily improvements of the body, mind, and soul." Feel free to go to their website and look at their mission or I guess now, MY mission. http://www.ledbetterinc.com/

So now it's on!! The fire under my butt is even hotter and I'm beyond excited.
