My plan is still going. I've made it through my third week of boot camp. I've lost 5 pounds, and though I haven't been tracking them, I really feel like I'm losing inches. I look smaller even if I don't weigh less. I've continued to go to Dance Fabulous twice a week even with 3 days/week of boot camp! I spent a full week at yoga, and I just bought a Groupon for two unlimited months of yoga.
It's working.
I've decided that, no, I can't cut out beer. It's something that I enjoy, and I don't like depriving myself. This simply means that I need to cut those calories out of other areas of my life. Like breakfast, for example. No junk. Either fruit or oatmeal (or both!) for breakfast. Lunch, I've been eating Veggie Lean Cuisines - lots of veggies, some vegetarian protein, and pretty filling! Dinner has been a mixed bag. I confess, I've had pizza more than once in the last 3 weeks. But it's a work in progress!
8 days until rehearsals start for Love. Death. Brains. Then I'll be doing boot camp, dance class, dance rehearsals, AND yoga! That's when the fun really starts. :)
The energy I'm getting from all this exercise is extraordinarily apparent. I just spent two solid hours running around like a maniac cleaning my apartment. Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. My little monster cat is digging how clean his little kitty area is. Clean cat box. Clean food dishes. Clean play area. Lucky duck. I spoil the crap out of that little monster.
Today - I try not to make a fool of myself as I attend an area music awards show and then see a pretty boy at a party. Besides the obvious goal of getting fit to perform in a musical in NYC, I'm hoping my hard work has other side benefits...
Happy Weekend!
