What's New

I didn't take a picture yesterday, so here's an oldie of ChiChi Vroom-vroom.

What I Accomplished 3/9/2016

Goal #1 Dialing In My Food, Sleep and Exercise - Down to 140lbs or 26" by June 2016

• 3-5 minutes warm up
• 5 minutes jump rope
• Zuzka workout Day 2  - 1.5 rounds
• Side jump lunge x 40
• Commando pushups x 24
• push up then alternate popping each knee up to your chest
• Prisoner get ups x 24
• get up from a lay-down position without using your hands - it's harder than it sounds!
• Split jump x 10
• jump straight up and do the splits in mid-air
• straightened legs not required
• Bird dog x 10
• Balance on alternate hand and foot while reaching to opposite walls with free hand and foot. This one is hard!
• Stretch/cool down with foam rolling
• 1 mile walk

Goal #2 Earn $500/month on the side by March 2016

• Delivered rough draft to client.

Goal #3 Pass the PMP certification test by September 2016

• Update - got word that I wouldn't get approval by the time my class starts in April. Time to consider a different class. Probably in October. If I don't get approval by that time, Aaron wants to pay for it ourselves. I am determined to achieve this goal by the end of the year.

Goal #5 Develop a personal appearance system

• Did I tell you guys I'm getting glasses? I had an appointment last week and now I'm just waiting for them to call me to say they're ready. They're super cute!

Goal #6 Continue 2015 goal of Debt Payoff by 2018.

• On hold at the moment as we await Aaron's vocation rehab allowance to kick in. We'll go into the red this month by about $500. Thankfully, we have savings to cover and this month we'll just pay minimums on debt.
• I was notified yesterday that I got a merit increase! (The largest merit increase I've gotten to date. Hard work does pay off.) That will help a little.

Food Journal 3/9/2016

Breakfast

• Smoothie
• blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, spinach, coconut milk, protein powder

Lunch

• 2 microwave burritos with cheese

Dinner

• Tomato soup with a small amount of pepper jack cheese.
• ...Damn pickle chips. before this I hadn't had them since 2/19/2016.

Observations

• I've thought about experimenting with less rigidity regarding food and exercise. Instead of planning out what I'll be doing/eating for each day, just reporting on what happened. Focusing less on guilt and "being bad" is a tenant of The Rebooted Body. Eliminating feelings of guilt when it comes to food and instead being in tune with what your body needs and how to nourish it is the whole point of the program. That means there will be occasional slip ups and you just have to acknowledge, observe, and move forward. The point isn't perfection, but progress.
