Fitness Journal – Day 56 of 90 (Wow, End of Week 9!)
It’s day 56 of 90 of this 90 day journal journey, and WOW, it’s the end of Week 9! Today was also Cheesecake Factory Sunday since we had that today, but it’s not like every Sunday is Cheesecake Factory Sunday. That’ll just be super pricey.
Morning
My goodness, how much wine did I have last night? I got up multiple times in the middle of the night, and had the hardest time getting up this morning. Monthly hormones plus drinking equals hangover headaches the next morning. Ugh! The coffee and leftover food helped a little, but that headache lasted quite a while today.
Cheesecake Factory Sunday!
The FIL and his significant other came over for lunch today, and we ordered Cheesecake Factory. The husband tried the new cheeseburger french dip, and that was interesting looking. It was a french dip sandwich shape with cheeseburger ingredients inside, and a side of the jus. I’ve been wanting chicken madeira for a while, so I ordered that. I’d usually eat the whole thing in one sitting, but was good today by splitting half for lunch and half for dinner, considering I knew I was going to consume quite a bit of sugar today.
Today’s Workouts
Yay for abs day, the part where I have the most trouble improving. It’s the part I’m most self critical of because I can never seem to obtain a “flat stomach” no matter how much I work the core. A big issue is that it’s genetic… my mom’s belly, her sister’s belly… everything is naturally slim, but there’s just that belly. Thank goodness for high waisted jeans and leggings that hides it quite well.
- Quick Cardio Warm Up – a nice 5 minute video. I had a hangover headache, so it wasn’t feeling so great doing this.
- Core Chiseler – a 20 minute ab workout that works various parts of the core. Pretty good.
- Extreme Abs Workout (25 Mins) – this one was very similar to the core chiseler workout, but with more moves.
TJ’s Trip
I went back to my neighborhood TJ’s, and OMG they had those crispy peanut butter filled milk chocolate peanuts today. My bestie kept saying how great they were, but they were never in stock at the TJs I’d visit. They had a BUNCH of them today, at least in 3 different sections/aisles of the store. Success!
Afternoon Boba
I already got boba earlier this week, but I couldn’t say no when the daughter asked if we can go to iTea. They have her and the son’s favorite drinks – strawberry crystal and mango crystal. iTea’s milk tea is so good in my opinion so I usually get their panda milk tea or just their milk tea with a topping. Yummmm!!!
Weather
It’s been consistently at the 40s in the morning and close to 60s in the afternoon lately. Today was a lot warmer! It hit high 70s here today, and parts of my skin was really feeling the warmth. Ugh, heat rashes? It felt nice not wearing long sleeves outside, but that was about it.
Today’s Overview
Over 2000 has been my jam lately! Snacks and alcohol really puts me over, but my taste buds are so happy. It’s been an overall chill today with some sunny weather. I love getting takeout, but it costs so much. There’s just something about not cooking your own meals that really appeal to me. Perhaps I just hate seeing a sink and counter full of dirty dishes.
Weekly Recap
Woooow, we’re doing so well! Week 9 is completed, and we’re onto Week 10. I can’t believe it… it’s been early 2 whole months where we did workout videos EVERY SINGLE DAY!! That’s 56 days straight! Snacking hasn’t been so great this week, mostly because of my pre-period and period. Chocolates, ice cream, chips. So many weaknesses. Boba is a necessity though. Treat yo-self.
