Where did this week go? Is it possible for a week to go slowly and fast at the same time?? And we still have one more day to get through!
My non-scale victories list for this week is pretty short; I must remember to write these little things down as I think of them.
I went a teensy bit overboard last weekend; not too crazy but I decided not to stress and try to relax in regard to eating...I'm trying to do that more - it's HARD! Anyway, since I did enjoy more than I normally do, I worked out every day. I normally try to take a rest day in between but I did some good cardio burning every single day including Saturday and Sunday. I tried the 30 Day Shred and can I just say, "Owwww!" It was such a good workout! Also, my gym buddy even had me try some crazy treadmill moves which, BTDubs, is not easy for me as I am one of the clumsiest peeps I know. I was a little nervous, but with some hidden ninja-like moves and perhaps a little new found core strength, I did not trip or fall off said treadmill - yay!
The one NSV that actually stuck out in my mind is that I forced myself to go to bed early a few nights in the past week JUST so that I didn't eat everything I wanted to...and boy did I want to! I hate when I have that feeling: that uncontrollable-nothing-will-satisfy-me urge...you know what I'm talking about?
I've also been trying to ween myself off of the sugar I put into my coffee and for the past two weeks, I've been able to have my favorite morning iced latte with just unsweetened vanilla almond milk and my liquid stevia drops. I'm happy to report that I've finally discovered my perfect combination of flavor deliciousness! It's honestly the favorite part of my work morning...it literally makes me happy just thinking about it!
That's all I have to report for this week! I hope all of you had some great NSV's, too!

Hey lady I am stopping by from the link up! Working out EVERYDAY?! Thats a HUGE cause for celebration! I have always noticed I lose more weight when I get enough sleep in, however I know how easy it is to stay up late! Great NSV's!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashlee!! Thanks for stopping by!! I completely agree with getting more sleep, too...and I need to get better about that :)
DeleteThat coffee sounds amazing! And I know how you feel about being super clumsy.. I'm the exact same way!
ReplyDeleteIf you could only see me as I take my first sip, lol - it's embarrassing how much I love my coffee ;) Thanks so much for stopping by!!
DeleteHi, I'm a new follower from the NSV linkup. I did the 30 day shred a couple of years ago and owwww is right! That is a great workout!

Hi Theresa!! So glad you stopped over! The pain lasted two days before I returned the DVD to my friend - I would have kept on going, it was that good!
DeleteGood job on going to bed early... I REALLY struggle with that myself. I know in order to lose weight you are supposed to get good amounts of sleep. Maybe THAT'S why it is taking me forever? hahaha! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell...I went to bed early but I didn't go to sleep...I thought about food and read a book, lol!!! Going to bed really just got me away from the refrigerator!
DeleteHi! I love 30 DS but it hurts so bad! I am going to try to start it back Sunday. I know what you mean about going to bed early. If I stay up late I will almost always make a bad choice.
ReplyDeleteHi Hollie! I borrowed a friend's dvd so I think I might just have to buy it for myself, I loved it!
DeleteI thought it was funny reading your first line about where has this week gone. I had monday off and have been a day off now all week I forgot it was thursday until after midnight and hadn't put together the NSV post lol. Thanks for linking up and sharing, you've had some great NSVs! You're awesome :)
ReplyDeleteYou're week flew by and you still found time to take care of the rest of us with your posts and inspiration :) YOU are awesome!! Thanks ;)
DeleteGoing to bed early is HARD! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda!! It IS hard and I'm a night owl! But as I said above, I really just went to bed so I wasn't near the pantry ;) I probably should have tried to go to sleep, too, ha!
