Night Sessions (Day 9 of 20)

I really need to get back to getting my yoga sessions in during the day when I have a little more energy. I just did Mix Tape and Red Hot Core (RHC). I kind of  played out a little bit while doing Mix Tape, but I figured even if I'm not engaging fully I'm still doing better than just sitting down. I had never done Mix Tape before, so it was a little weird to do RHC moves during it and then to do them again when I followed up by doing the RHC workout. I thought about not doing it, but since I told myself I would I did it in the end.

Can't go breaking myself out of the habit of doing what I told myself I was going to do. Not now that I am a day away from being halfway through my 20 day challenge. The days seem to be going by really fast, but the challenge seems to be slow going. Not sure how that is happening or if it even makes sense. I'm doing it though. I just hope I get the results I want in the end.

Still need to work on food intake as always. I did a lot better today though, so I think I may be making some progress. Two things I know I need to work on: breakfast and carbs. For breakfast, it's actually the fact that I still need to tweak my sleep schedule a bit so that i get up in time to actually have breakfast. I am not allowing myself to squeeze in an extra meal to make up for it. If I want breakfast (actually I do need breakfast) I need to get up for it. The carbs aren't horrible, but I still need to work on eating more vegetables than I have been.

It's all about them baby steps and making progress. This isn't an overnight process so i know it is going to take some time for my body to really show the results that I am working for, but I confess I have my doubts about if I'm doing enough. I just feel that I went from doing nothing to doing so much to improve my health and I'm not seeing a lot of what I thought I would see, especially from losing weight before. I really just don't want to go back to counting calories. That's too much stress and this is about lowering my stress not adding to it. Well those are just some of my worries and doubts. I wouldn't be human if I didn't have any, right?

I always end up typing more lately than I think I will. That's what happens when you tend to ramble on I suppose. Let me know how you all are doing. Leave a comment, I love them

  1. Hey Kat - you're doing AMAZING on your challenge. More than you have to do, and you're sticking with it! You're right - this is a process. I've lost weight many times quickly, and I've always gained it back. I can't seem to lose like that anymore (age...hormones...??) but it doesn't matter because it's heartbreaking to regain. Just take comfort in knowing you're making changes that WILL get you where you want to go...maybe just not as fast as you'd like. Keep up the great work!

    1. Thanks! Yeah I'm not really losing weight so much since I've been doing the challenge, but I know my body is changing so I'm hoping it's just building my muscle, but still getting rid of some of that fat. It does suck to regain, I've been there. Let's not do that this time round! We'll lose I know it! Just keep hanging in there.

  2. Determination is the key. And you are determined to make it happen. That right there I believe is a good chunk of the battle. You got this!
