Hello friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. I know I did, a little too good actually, but it was fun and I am not going to beat myself over it. I kept up with my workouts, though yesterday I did take a recovery day, I just haven't had a chance to sit down to write. Today I picked back up with Sweat and I can feel myself getting stronger, but I ain't gonna lie, that workout is TOUGH. It is amazing how much of an intense workout you can get by using your own body weight. Last week I saw great results and hopefully they'll return this week so I can keep going. I tried to stay on track with my eating over the weekend, but that pretty much went out the door when the alcohol started kicking in. You know, a few years ago when I was so strict on myself, I would have either avoided the situation by not going (that's no fun) or I would have gone, indulged and then berate myself for enjoying those things (again, no fun). Now that I have been on this journey and from following so many other members of the Beachbody family, I can see that it's okay to have fun like that every now and then. I certainly can't get like that every week, but every once in a while is not going to be the end of the world and that was something I really had to learn when I started this weight loss journey a year ago. So I am back on track with my eating this week and doing my workouts and I still feel great. I am excited that this week another PiYo workout gets added into the mix with Core so stay tuned for that. In the end, I hope everyone had a really happy holiday weekend and that you made some great memories with friends and family. Luckily for me, there are no other big blowout weekends planned so that should help me stay on track. I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 3-Day Refresh, Beachbody's new cleanse. It is perfect for getting back into healthy habits after weekends like the one I just had and you can still eat and exercise. How awesome is that?! No starving yourself over here. This is the healthy way to do it. I can't wait to share my results from that as well. I have a trip coming up and I plan to be good up until then! So stay with me. I'll need your support! See y'all tomorrow!
