WOOHOOO for that!
This past week was week # 5 of maintaining!
Although I am a bit concerned about this upcoming week (I am mostly not working- it's my 2 weeks before school starts) and Brian and I have all of these food plans. Which is awesome but also a bit scary. I am just going to have to REALLY focus on my amping up my exercise as well.
Yesterday I woke up feeling llike crap and totally did NOT want to work out. God I freaking didn't want to.
But I had to because Friday was my day 'off' from exercise so I went for a 5 mile run instead of 7. I am so glad I didn't attempt a 7 miler because I felt like shit during that run. I have finally figured out that during the few times where I reallyreally do NOT want to work out, my body is in a state of pure exhaustion and that's its way of telling me to take it easy. I am so incredibly sleep deprived- that's another thing I need to catch up on.
Anyway, enough rambling...

Great job getting a run in even though you really didn't want to, but you're right about listening to your body. If your is exhausted rest it :) Congrats on maintaining for the 5th week in a row, I knew you were going to do it! You've been working really hard and staying on track. Whoo-hoo! Keep it up!

You've learned so much on this journey to fitness and I really admire your strength. I think you're right about your body saying "I need a rest!" But you already figured that out ... enjoy the time with Brian!

I think its so important to listen to your body and do a dialed down version of your normal workout when you are tired! Sleep is so important!!!! If anyone deserves 2 weeks off, it is you! I hope you and Brian have a great time!

Wow, Congrats again on maintaining!!!! You HAVE to be feeling more confident every week with this!!! I am so happy for you and so proud of you. It is good to hear your goingto have a break form your grueling scedule...at last! Way to listen to your body and to take things down a knotch to get that workout in. When I have a day I feel wiped it is good to remember to do a lighter workout, not to SKIP it all together- so thanks for that insight and example! You are doing wonderful. Love you- have a great day!!

GREAT JOB ON MAINTAINING! YEP, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND THAT YOU DID. YOU HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY, MAN DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KEEP UP. SORRY THE GOOBERS TOOK OVER, LOVE THEM ALSO BUT IT' BEEN A LONG WHILE. YOU GOT YOUR WORKOUT IN, IF YOUR WORRIED ABOUT THE MEALS JUST FIGURE OUT A FEW THINGS YOU CAN GO WITHOUT IN ORDER TO HAVE WHAT YOU WANT. STAY STRONG AND IF ANYONE CAN DO IT - LISA CAN!

Woo-hoo Lisa! Amazing job maintaining! YAY and you have an easier couple weeks to enjoy. It'll be good to navigate maintenance in a different way. It's a learning process and you are doing so well, I am so proud of you. I hope you and Brian will have a great time doing things on your time off. What do you have planned for your birthday???
