Ash @ A Step in the Right Direction
Totally thought today was Tuesday...Labor Day, you're messing with me! I was all excited about having a day off from classes and then I realized we are still doing the same amount of material and work, just in 4 days instead of 5...so there goes that logic.
I'm writing this like 5 minutes before my first class so I apologize for my lack of pictures and everything. I'll have better posts up later this week. I'm also eating a Poptart because I didn't wake up early enough for breakfast...bring on the guilt. It doesn't even taste good to me...bleh.
The Weigh In:
Lost 1.5 lbs this week which means I'm 0.5 lbs away from 20 lost! Wahoo...slow and steady, right?
As many of you know, I'm challenging myself (AND all of you!!!) to sweat everyday in Sweatember! The weather is AMAZING and I need to counteract all the stress eating I will likely do as I prepare for my first exam (TWO WEEKS!). In general, I just feel better after I do some physical activity. If I don't, my mushy class brain becomes my mushy study brain and by extension, my gluteus maximus gets mushier too. Gotta move!
So far, so good! This afternoon I get the results of my fitness assessment from last week at my gym and a new fitness plan to follow based on areas I need to improve (ahem...upper body strength). Look forward to a post with my results. Oh Lord. I'll talk more about this weeks sweat sessions on Sunday!
I also want to send a million thank yous to everyone that continues to link up with us every Wednesday! I think it's been about three months already! If you're new, make sure to say hi in the comments section and go introduce yourself to some other bloggers!
How is Sweatember going for you?
Hung out at WARMfest this weekend. Did you go?

ReplyDeleteAtta girl! So proud of you for sticking through with exercising whilst ploughing through med school. I can tell you it's totally tough, and I've slacked more than I want to admit. And because of this post... I'm going to get my exercise clothes on and do some pilates. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your loss! When I was still in my weight loss period, a 1.5lb loss was the sign of a great and productive week! Don't feel guilty about the Poptart, they're so good and one is fine!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I nominated you for a sunshine award today :)
