By Julie<\/p>\n
By Week 10 I thought I would really be hitting my stride, but this week I had some mixed results. My back is still giving me problems, though the pain is slowly diminishing. I was able to get my cardio and workout sessions in, but at a reduced effort—which is not the pace I am going for at this stage of the program. It's frustrating for me but I can't not listen to what my body is trying to tell me. So this week Justo and I focused on more slow, deliberate exercises and core work; we both hope that by next week we can get back to full speed on the program.<\/p>\n
Thanks to my preoccupation with my lower back, my eating habits were in flux. For the most part I think I did fairly well with my goals for the week (watching dinner portions, eating smaller snacks) but I did indulge in a few too many cookies. I try to reach for fruit first to satisfy the evening sweet craving but it doesn't always do the trick. I've been baking a lot lately and have been seeking out healthy ingredient substitutions (like whole wheat flour for white, etc.) so that if I do indulge it's a bit more fulfilling. My alcohol intake was a lot lower so I am hoping that will balance things out calorie-wise. However, I have to give myself kudos for passing on the sweet treats at my son's playgroup this week—they were directly in my line of vision but not once was I tempted!<\/p>\n
My goal for Week 11 is to do some more strenuous cardio workouts and be more structured with my evening meals. My work schedule will be picking up and that means a lot less time to devote to cooking impromptu dinners. I've got a little more than two weeks until the next weigh-in and I need to make the most of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
