Weekly Check-In for ClassFit (Written Saturday night)
1. How many workouts did you complete this week?
With our handy-dandy workout tracker, I completed 14 workouts, (so, 4.5 days of workouts, the half day being when the kids woke up (early and hungry) as I was warming up, and I ended up just stretching and not doing the meaty part that day. I did cardio on three days: Irish dance class, Irish dance Ceili, and walking tonight (trying to maximize my steps on this dreary weekend day).
2. What are your wins for the week (this can be ClassFit, school, or life related)?
Progress reports are done! Mwahahaha! That's always the most stressful time at school--when progress report and report card grades are due. It happens every 4.5 week and I somehow pretend like it snuck up on me. LOL. Another win for this week: I actually got up early...when it was cold and dark outside...and worked out.
3. How is your habit makeover challenge going?
Intermittent fasting is more challenging that I expected in the morning, but very doable after that. I'm supposed to eat in an 8-10 hour window, so I've scheduled 10a-6p, but leave a little wiggle room. I have no trouble stopping eating at 6pm. The mornings are challenging. I'm making everyone else breakfast and I get hungry. By 9 a.m. I'm dying, but it's my planning period at work so I keep myself busy, drink water, and wait until 10 impatiently. The weekend is harder because there is no planning period, only hungry children who wake up at 6 a.m. regardless. It took forever to get to 10 a.m. today!
4. What are you learning about yourself?
I'm remembering the physical strength I used to have, and the mental strength that went with it (I ran a couple of marathons 10 years ago..). I'm not sure where I lost that girl, but I've blamed it on motherhood x 4, work stress, you name it, but I'm determined to find her again. I'm tired of making excuses. Today I could not work out early because everyone was awake and needing food and attention early for a weekend. Tonight, I put the little girls in bed (everyone else is camping) and I did my workout because there is accountability through ClassFit (and I have some monetary "skin" in the game) and I want to hold up my end of the bargain. But also because I'm already seeing a little progress (and that's a great motivator!). My size 14 corduroys are a little loose (my "fat pants" from after child number 2, that eventually became everyday wear...). When I step on the scale, the number is just under 180, so things are going in the right direction. I know that the habit makeover challenge has contributed to this. All of it has. I can do this.
