October check

I am working. I am in "all in" mode. 


Work-outs

I have my workout calendar up on my mirror and back to yoga, almost daily. 
I'm back in my ROAR groove and loving my PiYo and Yoga combo mornings.  There has been days I oversleep so I've missed Yoga but I still do PiYo in the afternoons. 

Routine
Yoga: 5- 6 days a week. 
PiYo: 3-4 days of double PiYo
ROAR: 3 days a week. 
Walking: I tend to do activities that require a lot of walking. 

What I am missing is an intense cardio burn so I tried a spinning class. I wanted to get that feel everyone talks about but I just was not enjoying it. I will have to look for a boxing class or something else I may enjoy.  I want to make sure the activities I do are something I look forward to. Who knows I may try spinning again on a future date but it's not what I'm into now.

Food

I am counting points and tracking meticulously.  I also make sure i don't fall into any guilt patterns and just keep on moving forward. If I slack of on food I get back on track by the next meal, minus my biddy weekend, or remain super active to compensate. 

Example I knew I was going to have taquitos on my birthday along with cake, so I made sure I worked out that morning. I was excited to do it because it is my favorite routine: ROAR, Walking up hill and yoga. It was perfect active morning and it allowed me to splurge at dinner without fear of gaining weight. Now the goal is to get healthy and loose weight so the days following the splurge I counted my points to the "t". I am in a great place and I check myself before I put something in my mouth. I ask myself - 
"is it worth it?" - and most of the time 
it is not. So I don't go for it.

I won't say it's easy but I won't say it's hard. It is all about my mindset and how bad I really want to to be healthy.  So yes I'm in a game face kind of mood and plan on staying here for awhile. The current plan is simple; take it, meal by meal, step by step, day by day, and pound by pound. Good choices, persistence,  accountability,  determination,  discipline,  acceptance and self-love will get me there.
Here's to good choices.
