Bumming Hard... New Plan of Action Starting NOW!

SO - I probably should have waited until tomorrow to weigh-in because I drank 24 oz of water during our killer workout this morning! But no, I weighed in after working out and have gained 4 pounds :(  It's amazing how quickly it comes back on! I didn't weigh-in last week, which had to be one of my downfalls - because if I had gained week last week, I would have worked harder this past week.  BUMMER.

So I need a new plan of action. I haven't been writing my foods down - which is unfortunate because I have a fancy new food journal.... oh, and because when I don't journal, it shows.  So here are my steps to getting back on track:
1) journal EVERYTHING I eat - regardless of the whether it's "good" or "bad"
2) make a game plan each week of my daily intake, so I know what I have left over for emergency calories
3) workout EVERY day (I may have been slacking on that one)
4) in addition to the regular workout, go back to doing my 30 minute interval 5/7 days (haven't been doing this at all...)
5) no more cheats!

I worked out with my group training program this morning and it was the kind of workout where afterwards you are drenched with sweat... followed by bouts of thinking I was going to throw up (Tyler says this means it's a good workout).  I was with "other" Julia, and Judy - reminded me of being with all the Julia's in our family :) It was great - they are in better shape than I am, so I pushed myself to keep up with them.  I ate 1/2 a banana before working out and 1/2 an orange after working out... (vs. some other choices I've recently made).  I'm still slightly about the 10 pound mark and I am NOT going to let this bring me down! I am going to keep plugging hard and I refuse to let this completely derail me!!

And on the off-chance that that was water weight + whatever other weight, I hope to lose it all next week... :)

  1. Sorry about the gain, Jules. I definitely know how disheartening that can be. But it sounds like you're not letting it get you down and you've got a game plan for getting back on track! :-)
