60 Day Fat Loss Challenge Check In: Week 7

At last week’s check in I talked about cheat days. I tried this week to keep my “cheats” to a minimum and stuck to small treats here and there as opposed to a whole day or meal off. I also started writing down when and what I eat to track my intake better. I’m not exactly counting calories, just trying to see if there is a pattern to my hunger and eating habits. It seems to be working pretty well. I also get some mental help from it, like I know if I eat this I’ll have to write it down. That gauges how bad I really want it. Besides messing up my alarm for Monday’s workout, I felt like I had a pretty good week! We are getting close to wrapping up this challenge officially… August 1 is the day we go back for our follow up DXA scans. I’m anxious to see the results on paper!

I messed up my alarm and missed CrossFit so I hit up the gym on Monday night to get some kind of work out in. I used my GNC ProSculpt pre-workout… love that stuff!

Also, I’m loving the Expresso bike they have at the gym. It’s like a video game that is also a workout!
