Week Three...Getting Stronger

Well, I have to say that last week was better.  I was so proud of myself because I was able to actually do 5 proper push ups, however it was the modified ones!  But I did it!!  Thursday's class was hard but I have come into more realization of how much I miss taking dance classes and just dancing! I love it!  When I was smaller, that was something that I did that kept the weight off, without realizing that that was what I was doing.  I know that this week I will be better at stamina and bootcamp!  I am getting stronger!!  I have to keep telling myself that throughout the workouts at boot camp.  My goal for this week is to get in more cardio before bootcamp.  I will be a sweaty mess, but it's sweat for the greater good.  Monday I will do Kazaxe before bootcamp.  I will have an hour to rest so I should be okay.  Tuesday thru Friday I will fit my spin class in either before BC or after.  By Thursday, I want to do at least five push ups the proper way, not modified in all push up positions.
For nutrition, I will continue with eating between 1400-1700 per day.  Its getting easier.  I can't front, sometimes I miss the pizza, but I'm not craving for cheese like I used to when I make a sandwich.  I am under the weather and I know that if I had some dairy, I would not be in a good position right now because of the mucus. So, no dairy is good! Still haven't found that book yet (see last week's post).  I will continue to search for it.  People have noticed my face has changed so I hope that will reflect on the scale.  I am a little nervous about it because, I will workout before the weigh-in.  When you weigh yourself after you workout, you tend to be a little heavier then when you started because you are retaining water.  I will talk to Maia about it. Even if you don't workout before you weigh in, b/c its at 6:30pm, you have to think about what you ate for the day and how that may effect the scale.  I have had more success when I weigh in on an empty stomach, usually in the morning.  I'll see tomorrow.  But other than that I feel good, I'm starting to have more energy again, and I fell happier in general!
