Week 10: Day 6

Tomorrow is rest. Oh yes. I am down a pound, so good news is, the eating better is paying off. Kind of bummed I slacked. I thought I was holding on ok, but I guess not. I also noticed a little muscle definition on my arms today. I was doing something in the bathroom, my hair or opening my mascara and I got this glimpse of a defined muscle. My tricep is definitely getting there. Just need to be able to lift more.

I'm a little excited for next week. I am going to do a cleanse. It's called the 5-day Fast  from a book called Cinch by Cynthia Sass. I've done it before, but never on this strenuous of an exercise regimen. I am mainly doing it to "reset" my body and my eating habits. I did it a year ago and it not only helped me lose weight, but also helped me not crave bad food so much. It's a great book in general on healthy eating and having a healthy relationship with food.  I forgot about it, hence why I have gotten back to my old habits. so I'm a little hesitant. But I found my journal of the 5 day process and I remembered how good I felt.  At the time I read the book and did the "cleanse" I was training for my triathlon and in 5 days lost 7 pounds. I feel like it's the boost I need to get to 155. I miss that number. I wish I had remembered to do it in the beginning of the P90. I don't know if it breaks any P90 rules, if you will. It's a balanced diet of protein, veggies, fruit, healthy fats and spices. I may have to squeeze a protein drink in there once a day to keep up on my protein and to help sustain me during my workout. But I am excited to see how it goes. At this point I have nothing to lose. No pun intended.

I feel like my blogs are getting shorter and shorter. I think it's because at this point it is really kind of monotonous. And if I could stand here and tote 5 pounds down every month it would be a different story. But, this girl had a long way to go, longer than I thought. That's for sure.
