Since this group is 12 weeks, I won’t bore you with specifics of every day. This way of life has become a routine and one that I enjoy! I was tempted when my mom brought down Christmas cookies this week tho and I actually had a few pieces on Sunday. Weekends are always the hardest for me as our friends are out and about socializing and I have been trying to remain beverage free. I know that those beverages completely negate my progress for the week. I need to get a good jump start on this before introducing them back into my life. I had some La Croix water and poured it into a wine glass to pretend 🙂
Here are some meal pics.
I mentioned in the last post that I have a surgery coming up. I am very nervous how I will feel when I can not exercise for a couple weeks and have a lifting restriction possibly up to 6 weeks. Also no ab work for 6 weeks as it could cause a hernia. I have had some lower back pain that I have been battling for months so hopefully this break gives my back a much needed rest. In the meantime, there is always walking! Since I live in Wisconsin and it is winter I will be taking advantage of the treadmill.
Day 15-I was on vacation today and did some meal prep for my surgery recovery. I made some ground chicken mini meat loaves with celery, onion, hot sauce, and I threw in a little blue cheese (which is not approved). These will freeze nicely and help me when I am not feeling like cooking and need to stay on track.
Update on weight loss:
Me -5lbs
Sherri -10lbs
Cary -8lbs
We are 3 happy ladies!!! I am keeping that Beachbody trip to Riviera Maya in the back of my head and I am working hard with goals of maybe seeing my abs by then. If not, I will see much less stomach blubber! Side note- I have never seen my abs in my entire life!!!
