The Wild Ride

Well this wouldn't be the Wild Weight Loss Ride without the ups and down.
Unfortunately...

I got sick in July, the bronchitis and laryngitis and of course the incontinence kicked back in. Oh joy oh boy! So I ended up backlashing and then seeking out comfort foods for my throat and that led to my stomach...and that led to....

FAT!

Yyyyup! It came back! I went on vacation on top of that and took my workouts and didn't manage to get in any. Thinking that I would at the hotel and then thinking all the walking would be enough and blah blah...swimming in the ocean...blah blah..walk on the beach that didn't really happen. And then, after the first day, I got very bad sunburn and couldn't even go back on the second day.

So yea, bad all the way around and coupled with eating bad too. Oh man. It was a challenge that I just couldn't meet.

By the time I got back from vacation, that night, (bad time to weigh in by the by) I was at 190 just barely on the mark of that. After a few days of eating clean however, I dropped to 188 and then 187 and then 186/185.5 finally.

It was tough to get back to working out too no matter how grand it did feel and how much more stronger I became. August was a bit topsy turvy with it and I struggled.

I then decided about a week ago, that I would restart Power 90 The Master Series. Plus! I ordered Tai Cheng and I began them both at the same time. I wanted to have something for myself in the evenings to relax with, maybe soak in a bubbly tub or something nice. Totally destress from the busy day.

I am at 186 flat as of this morning, tho' I suspect it is truly 185.5. But that's fine, I'll start from there. The quick short term goal would be to see 179.5 at the very least by the 12th. That's a tough one. It will take a lot of clean eating and to be sure I workout, no misses.I should be able to see low 180s if not 180 by then if I am strict.

I am also drinking Shakeology of course and I love the Vegan version! I am drinking the Results & Recovery formula too which is awesome! I'll do a blog post on those two here soon.

I am glad I did not gain everything back and can now work my way from here. I have but a month left to get my behind in gear before I see the doc. Cholesterol levels will be checked then so I have to remain strict throughout the month. I'll post those results once I get them.

For now, I am off to shower as I just finished the Sculpt 5-6 this morning. :)
